You've gotta love the way Brazilian art rock/dance-pop act CSS kicks off their 2006 release Cansei de Ser Sexy -- which is Portuguese for "Tired of Being Sexy" -- with a rousing chant of "CSS sucks!" That self-effacing quality walks the line between high-art irony and unabashed silliness -- slyly setting the tone for a sensual and quirky album. The song "Artbitch" finds singer Lovefoxxx cattily shouting that she's an artist who only shows her work where there's free alcohol, and the track "Meeting Paris Hilton" either recounts a startling encounter with the bony socialite or makes a clever and entertaining lyrical desensitization of the word bitch -- or maybe both. The whole disc has you chuckling and scratching your head over the words, while the electronic rhythms and meticulously layered crunchy guitars send you straight onto the dancefloor. The record is very reminiscent of the Sounds' 2006 release Dying to Say This to You, because of the sassy, provocative vocals as well as the overall mood. CSS' heart and soul are rooted in a sense of fun danceability, exemplified in the track "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex," an anthem rivaling anything recorded by darling-of-the-DJ, reigning club queen Annie (or even her much more mainstream equivalent, Kylie Minogue). It inspires a basic and guttural sense of movement that can manifest itself with anything from a rump-shaking booty bounce to Natalie Imbruglia's flopsy-mopsy dance at the end of the "Torn" video.

Not because she slept with someone else's boyfriend in the band, but because she wants to pursue fashion and other side-projects, CSS bassist IRA Trevian has left the hot Brazilian electro-pop group. Before starting up CSS Trevisan studied fashion design back in her homeland. The band's sole male band member and drummer Adriano Cintra will now step up to the bass, with a spot open for a new dru...

104,086,072. That's how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. We kid! It's actually the new world record for most hits on YouTube, now held by CSS' "Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex." Yes, the Brazilian hotties and one guy have surpassed the previous record (78,145,221) set by "Evolution of Dance." Some think there might be a glitch, or maybe CSS have some die hard fans that have b...

They're called Cansei de Ser Sexy, which translates to Tired of Being Sexy, but with songs like "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex," and "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" they don't exactly live up to their name. Then again, it's hard to NOT be sexy when you're from Brazil, Land of Supermodels and Thong Bikinis. The video below contains neither of those things, but it's still worth a gande...
