iVoice: Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift Paint their Toenails!

Posted by Camille Dodero at 2:07 PM, June 30, 2008

In case it hasn't yet been clearly articulated here (probably not), the two fellas responsible for the never-ending laff-riots that are iVoice chats are Jon Bois and Brandon Stroud, who also co-run the chat-game over at the Dugout. We're still not sure how they do it—they're either über-hackers or über-hecklers, but we don't want to know what's in the Big Mac Special Sauce either. This one comes courtesy of Brandon and it is a personal fave. — Your blawgh editah

iVoice: Coldplay's Chris Martin Tries to Befriend Thom Yorke

Posted at 1:33 PM, June 24, 2008


CorporalMartin: Hey Thom! Long time, no talk!


Away message from SargeantYorke:

busy not being coldplay


CorporalMartin: :(


CorporalMartin: I know you're just jokin'! Let me know when you get back in!


CorporalMartin: Thom? You there?


SargeantYorke: hris martin looks like an emaciated donkey


SargeantYorke: oh, sorry, wrong window.


CorporalMartin: Oh.


CorporalMartin: Well, I was just gonna ask, did you happen to see that we came out with another album?


SargeantYorke: oh did you really


CorporalMartin: Yeah! And y'know, we're pretty big fans of you guys


SargeantYorke: yeah, i heard.

isn't it great how I wrote Ok Computer and I still have both my balls?


CorporalMartin: oh shit you read that


SargeantYorke:


CorporalMartin: ah, well . . .

so of course, we were curious to see what you thought of our new record!


SargeantYorke: listen man, i don't have time to go to pandora.com, type in "jack johnson bono masturbate" and listen through the radio station for two hours


CorporalMartin: Oh, you don't have to do that. It's in stores!


SargeantYorke: what the fuck is a store


SargeantYorke: anyway i think i get the idea of "coldplay"


SargeantYorke: you sit at a piano and sing falsetto about being sorry

then you explain that it's unique because you recorded in a warehouse or a church or a port-a-john or whatever the god fuck


SargeantYorke: oh man, i hope your album has art on it! i hope that art is supposed to symbolize something!


CorporalMartin: Actually, it does! It's a


SargeantYorke: nobody cares


CorporalMartin: Well okey doke then. Sorry to bug you. I just think it'd be really great if you gave it a listen! Honest critique is welcome!


Away message from SargeantYorke:

performing a webcast in a soiled undershirt, be back later


CorporalMartin: aw jeez


**OnlineHost** Later that evening...


SargeantYorke: oh man, so you wouldn't believe who messaged me today

fuckin chris martin from coldplay


SargeantYorke: guy is such a douchebag, coldplay sucks so bad


TOM_WAITS: why do you say that


SargeantYorke: well i mean, heh, it's coldplay, come on


TOM_WAITS: son i heard the new coldplay album, it's nothin spectacular but it's really not bad


TOM_WAITS: did you even listen to it or did you just decide to get all snarky about it pre-emptively


SargeantYorke: well

well i mean no, but


TOM_WAITS: think on this, lazy-eye

some folks like you and me can get away with shit. i can sell millions of albums of me whacking a plumbing fixture with a lead pipe and screaming about setting my wife on fire


TOM_WAITS: and you can get away with goddamn "push/pull revolving doors"


TOM_WAITS: and if we weren't so lucky we might just have to spit our dicks out our mouths and write regular people music


SargeantYorke: well yeah maybe


TOM_WAITS: how about you actually listen to it, i kind of like some songs on there


TOM_WAITS: i'm outta here

/slaps saddle

GIDDY UP


CorporalMartin: HEE HAW

iVoice: Kanye West "Flashing Lights" Video Chat

Posted at 12:15 PM, June 6, 2008


**OnlineHost** Welcome to Video Shoot Chat!


woman: /gets out of car, walks a few paces, strips down to underwear, starts fire with lighter fluid and a Zippo

/walks back, opens trunk


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: mmmf


woman: Why did I just light a fire?


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /rips off tape from mouth

Um. Because if you didn't, your body wouldn't be visible.


woman: But the video's only camera switch occurs at the exact moment I turn around, and the fire's behind me. How would that make me show up better?


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: ...

fffuck

all right we'll fix that in post


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Now grab that shovel. I'll flip the hatch and slide into the back seat, and then you act like you're bludgeoning me to death.


woman: I don't understand this either. What's my character's motivation here?


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Fair enough. Here's the conceit.


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: This video will serve as an epilogue and companion piece for another video featuring this same song.


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: It was an aesthetically neat but otherwise banal video. You're mad because it was terrible.


woman: So? Does my character just roam the countryside and murder people who make crap-ass music videos?


woman: Is there another companion piece? Do I get to garrote McG with a jump rope?


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Well, the video is too ambiguous to communicate a singular message, so viewers will be left to glean their own interpretations.


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Most disturbingly, it would be easy for one to interpret it as a vindictive lecture that portrays rape as a consequence.


woman: ...


**OnlineHost** The woman is bludgeoning Kanye West with a shovel.


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: OW OW FUCK WAIT FUCK


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /manages to open trunk escape, crawls into back seat bruised and bloodied


SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: oh hey it's this fuckin' guy again!


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: What are you doing in here?


SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: oh you know, we're just hanging out, chasing after this fat dude real slow


SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: we started leaking petrol a ways back but fuck it, you know


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /turns around, looks through back window


**OnlineHost** The fire has spread to a trail of fuel left by the car.


KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight:

aw graham crackers
