Rumor has it that J. Harvey and I will be attending the 2012 Cybersocket Web Awards. Though we can’t be sure we’ll return with a phallic glass trophy that we can hold next to our penises, we’re going to try our best to awkwardly interact with some porn stars and industry folk. Then we will report back to you! And you will like it!
My biggest goal is to hang out with Conner Habib. I’m not even sure if he’s going, but I’ve got it in my head that we need to become friends IRL. We don’t even have to make a sex tape! We could just discuss things I’m too dumb to understand, while I carefully undress him with my eyes… Or he could just be naked, because (duh) Conner Habib is the Ryan Gosling of porn stars I want to meet for a naked lunch date.
Now that I’ve put that out there, let’s talk about today’s round of Aural Fixation. The following selections are six of my favorite songs from 2011, including The One AM Radio, Elle Varner, Patrick Wolf, Big Troubles, Bridget Kelly and Gloria Estefan. Feel free to make fun of my taste. As snobby as I can be, at least I’m man enough to own up to my guilty pleasures…

The One AM Radio – Everyone But You: In a post-Postal Service world, this is the closest we’ll ever get to Ben Gibbard and company’s brand of emotionally driven electro-pop. “Everyone But You” appeals to the part of me that wants to cuddle under a pile of blankets, bump noses with a special someone and be happy about them but sad about life. Pretend that sentence made sense.
Elle Varner f/ J. Cole – Only Wanna Give It To You: Ignore the fact that this is a song comparing a man to a pair of shoes. Ignore the fact that J. Cole is easily this year’s most over-hyped rapper, and he makes a reference to the Snuggie in his verse. If you can successfully ignore these two things, then you will soon realize that Elle Varner has soul. She sells this song with sincerity. Not to mention, the funky bassline provides a nice rhythm for thrusting…
Patrick Wolf – Together (Garçon Garçon Remix): The original is good too! But, when it all comes down to it, I prefer this remix by Manhunt Daily‘s favorite bearded pop duo Garçon Garçon. It takes the song to a whole other level. You know, a level where you want to dork out to it on an empty dance floor and cry to yourself a little… Geez, why am I so fucking emo?
Azealia Banks f/ Lazy Jay – 212: I couldn’t make this list without Azealia. Sure, she was the winner of a previous round, but this time she’s up against some fiercer competition. “212” is pure insanity. It makes me want to get banged by, like, ten guys at once in the middle of Times Square. Just kidding. Sort of?
Big Troubles – Minor Keys: Look, guys! I like bands that actually play instruments! I’m so indie! Kill me.
Gloria Estefan – Hotel Nacional: Wait, don’t kill me! I have to live long enough for you to see the embarrassment on my face, after I admit that a song which rhymes “hoochie coochie” with “Susan Lucci” is one of my favorite releases of 2011. WEPA!
I like Hotel Nacional because is not pretentious like the other songs. Just a pure fun song to dance to and Gloria Estefan can hardly do wrong in my eyes.
Seriously, do you have to throw porn pics into every one of your fucking articles?!!!
It just becomes meaninglessly redundant and frankly, boring
I kind of agree with Chris, I get that the purpose of MH is to look at naked guys but it would be nice if MH Daily actually said something without somehow relating it back to banging somone…you’re kind of encouraging the stereotype that gays only have one thing on their mind.
Knock it off, I want a sex tape with Conner!
Uh, none of the above. I can’t imagine listening to any of this shit and maintaining an erection! Thanks for introducing me to GarconGarcon,but too emo for sex. The best sex music is, by far, the original motion picture soundtrack to the original “Conan, The Barbarian” with Arnold Schwarzennegger. Start with foreplay and tearing each others clothing off while listening to the slave-raiding hordes ride in and decimate his village. By the time you get to the love theme, you’ll be basking in the afterglow or foreplay-ing for round two!
C’mon guys – do you really think Manhunt Daily would be sustainable without the (rather good-humoured) references to banging dudes?
Your mainstream gay readership would flock straight back to more vapid blogs that just talk about banging dudes.
At least the MH team is trying to inject some culture into our daily diet of cock pics.
