Justin Timberlake may be bringing sexy back, but he’s bringing it back to the wrong species.
Scientists in Germany have been conducting studies with sharks in captivity trying to figure out if music would help them get their “groove” on. Because of how previous studies have shown that many fish and marine animals react to music, scientists guessed that sharks might show a similar response to music. Their results? Sharks love Justin Timberlake, HATE Britney Spears.
It made them float up to the surface upside down. (Not really.)
Join our delicious diva Miss Ronnie and our pal from the East Coast Gary Wapnitsky as Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós talk about the fabulous Northalsted Street Market Days, Sal-E’s fierce performance, Nigerian gay weddings, and answering the eternal question: “are you a man or a woman?”
When loyal listeners Rick and Dallas from Dallas were waiting with me for Sal-E’s show to start, this homeless diva ran up onto the stage and worked the song, lip-syncing with a fierce conviction and razor-sharp accuracy. UPDATE: believe it or not, Rcktman Rick actually caught it on video! A fun time was had by all. Special shout out to all the fans who we met, and the ones who helped promote the show! (Rick, Gary, Justin, and Enzo)
Check out our photos of Northalsted Street Market Days, 2007.
THE perfect killing machine for boredom: Feast of Fools.

August 13, 2007 at 12:28I’ll have a brief clip of Sal-E’s performance up later today. The sound isn’t great, but you can see just how fierce he is when he does his thing.

August 13, 2007 at 15:52Market Days looks like a lot of fun. I’d love to play me some underwear-twister with those boys!
SAL-E says:
August 13, 2007 at 16:29Thank you all for coming out and checking me out……….
They were keeping me down in the dressing room as they stalled to start the show Because someone was running late and did not want to start with out her……………After an hour I was like: LOOK, I am FUCKEN HOT, I AM MELTING, SO START THIS SHIT NOW OR I AM GOING HOME! So the First Queen comes back melted beyond repair. I knew I was in Trouble…….(me and the Sun are not Freinds)……..but then I saw some familiar faces and I was like: SHOW TIME……………….and I kept thinking: “Please do not Fall……………..and if you do, just finish it with a break dance pose”

August 13, 2007 at 16:38That falsetto song at the beginning of the show sucked. That ain’t no Sylvester!

August 13, 2007 at 16:40Now the guy in the blue shirt in the Halsted Street video lip-synching. That was awesome!
Marc Felion says:
August 13, 2007 at 21:03It may not be Sylvester, but at least we can play it on our show.

August 14, 2007 at 00:34Mandarin, is the “blue shirt” guy taking over Market Days a tradition? I always love seeing Sal-E strut his stuff… you know the amazing thing? Sal-E is SO talented. The man can SING too!

August 14, 2007 at 10:58Wolfsburg03 you are definitely welcome to play twister with us any time you want!
RcktMan says:
August 15, 2007 at 01:16Here’s the link to the video of Sal-E’s performance. I just caught the last 40 seconds… but you can see that he is quite fierce, in every sense of the word!

August 15, 2007 at 11:27I love this show. You guys had me in stitches! And thank you for the discussion on Buck Angel. I cringe when I hear someone refer to him as “her”, the same as when people would refer to an MtoF friend as “he”. I’m sure all your transgendered listeners appreciate this as well. I’d love to hear Buck on your show.

August 13, 2007 at 03:22Fausto, I had such a great time with you, Gary, Justin and the rest of the wonderful Feast of Fools fans on Saturday. I wish I’d seen you all on Sunday, but after 12+ hours of Market Days insanity, I needed a BREAK! But DAMN there were some hot men out this weekend. WOW. I was so overstimulated when I got home. One more minute and I would have exploded. Or something.
Anyway, I want to share with everyone a little video I shot of that random spectator a/k/a homeless person who jumped up on stage to lipsynch “Proud” while we were waiting for Sal-E to start. Click here to check it out!
