Here’s a story for the grand-kids. A Swedish hack called Basshunter is currently sitting at #1 (!) on the UK charts with an appalling piece of Euro-trance called Now You’re Gone. The song’s success is mainly driven by a soft-core video featuring a former ‘adult film’ star. Now photographs of the producer mid-sex romp have been leaked onto the web. Still with us? Perhaps the most disturbing part of the whole fiasco is that the song topped the charts in the first place. The music video (yes, it’s included below) draws on the talents of Aylar Lie, the self-coined Princess Diana Of Porn. In it, three girls…oh, just watch it.
Basshunter, known to his proud family as Jonas Altberg, celebrated this run of success by staging an orgy at his parents’ house. And photographing it. And what do you know – somehow the snaps found their way online. Ruinous for most people, advantageous for Basshunter.
“Those pictures somehow popped up on the net. It wasn’t me who put them online,” he told bastion-of-good-taste The Sun. “I don’t feel awkward at all. The only thing I feel bad about is that the pictures could have done with a lot of work in Photoshop, that’s all I feel awkward about.
“I can honestly say that I like sex. I like very much to use my body for what I was born to do and I’m not really the shy guy. I want to show the world.”
And show the world he did.
“My parents were among the first people to see the pictures, actually,” he continues. “My mum is like Inspector Gadget, she finds out stuff faster than me or my management. Then, of course, she’s straight on the phone to my bosses saying, ‘Have you heard about these photos?’ Everybody should have a mum like that.”Feeling unclean? Get this into ‘ya – the film-clip for Basshunter’s number 1 masterpiece Now You’re Gone. Good god man, tour Australia!
