This Is Not A Joke

Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Agyness Deyn

She's the new Jem!

The British music mag NME reports that supermodel Agyness Deyn loved collaborating with band Five O'Clock Heroes so much that she's formed her own band.

For reals!

Deyn's band is called Gene Jacket.

Isn't that clever?

Deyn said, “We’ve got three or four songs, we wrote a really cool song at Coachella actually, which was exciting. It's called Hotel. Well we originally wrote and recorded it in Japan, then added bits at the festival. It sounds like The Vaselines, maybe like Animal Collective. Just sounds, experimenting with stuff."

Truly outrageous.

I reckon androgynous and over-bleached faux-punk never goes out of style. In the U.K., anyways.

Yawn.

I want you to eat my out while I am on my period Perez, and I want you to lick it all up and suck it all out REAL good!! I also want you to smash my gummy blood clots between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. I want you to press the blood clots on the back of your teeth until the ooze through your cracks. Please Perez, please.

Animal Collective… that scares me a bit. AC is great on disc, but they are a SHITTY live act!

It's strange that you complain about all the other celebrities trying to become musicians, but when it comes to Agyness, you're totally in love with the idea.

Even about how incredibly unclever her band's name is.

Yawn - yet one "celebrity" hack that thinks they have talent. What makes these people think that because they can model or act that they have talents singing, writing books, or designing clothes. Maybe she should just stick to wearing clothes for a living.

Re: Mike –

I'm guessing Deyn is pronounced "Day-n" and her name is a play on "Lamb of God"? Anyway you look at it, it's ridiculous.

skiprat says – reply to this

41

So why aren't you criticising her for starting a band and getting into music like you doeveryone else Perez? Could it be because you're a horrible fat talentless cunt?
cara says – reply to this

42

hahaha perez, my dear, why do you get so pissed off when any actor or OTHER model want to become a musician, except then your dear old agy wants to do it, and it's the best idea that's ever happened? most musicians i know are also actors, and most actors are also musicians. it's just with the territory. not every musician or band are good either. let them humiliate themselves. it's fun
mslove says – reply to this

how is yet ANOTHER worthless no-talant with too much money starting up another "band" truely outrageous?? Its truley cliche, and boring and played out.

damn she's a model?? for what winos' crack head clothing line? and wtf is up with her legs and feet? but i guess since models are supposed to be walking hangers, she fits the bill.

i would say don't quit your day job, but that would be an insult to all Tyra wannabes, this girl is fug. Has anyone esle noticed that her third toe is longer than her big toe, she's def channeling the motherbrothercousinsister (otherwise known as her father) with them things. Ewwwwww!
jackie says – reply to this

46

Perez please stop reporting on this girl it is getting old and tired
uh uh says – reply to this

47

Actually, no. Clever is exactly what that name ISN'T. It's meaningless and unfunny! Her voice doesn't suck though. Maybe they'll change the name… to something moody and evocative.
Adam says – reply to this

48

Models trying to sing is nothing new. Twiggy did it, Kate Moss sang with Primal Scream, Naomi and Tyra both wanted singing careers too.

Her descption of the music sounding like the Vaselines and Animal Collective doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Those bands sound nothing alike at all.

LK says – reply to this

67

HELLO!?!? You bitch about every other actor/actress, model, etc.. crossing over to music - why do you automatically assume Agyness's music will be great before you hear ANYTHING, but are quick to call all other's talentless hacks?
WTF? says – reply to this

68

A (super)model can form a band and sing, and you get all excited and call it 'clever', but an actor cannot sing, and you slag them? You are inconsistant when someone appears to be in your favour, dude.

I dont get how she's the new "it" girl….she's so plain besides her 80's haircut…I mean I'm sure her music will be good…I'm just still trying to figure out how she's a huge model is all…she's not unattractive, there's just nothing pyschically extrodinary that I can see….but what do I know, I think fashion is all a bunch of bullshit anyway.

Perez, I don't understand why you think Rumer Willis looks like a troll or the incarnate of Mr. Potato head, yet you think this androgynous, America's Next Top Model look-alike is gorgeous? She looks like a young boy in a dress!
get over yourself says – reply to this

79

Perez stop trying to push this "model" into everyone. She actually looks tacky most of the time and just because you like her doesn't mean she's that hot. I've been seriously questioning your taste lately with things like these and all those cheesy bands you promote here. I just think it's stupid and in fact, your act it's starting to get really tired. You better come up with something fresh soon. How about going into celebrity rehab yourself and tap into those chilhood issues that make you treat most people like shit. Poor you- you must have been so mentally abused by everyone that you feel like this is your time to get back at everyone. IT WON'T LAST.
Goodness!! says – reply to this

LIke Hell she'll sound like the truly awesome Vaselines or Animal Collective. Not that I have anything against her, but you can't even come close to those acts.
