On Friday, our third season of One Step Beyond resumed its reign of The Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History (whew). Everyone careened underneath intergalactic light projections when they weren’t waiting for their turns on the Find-Your-Weight-on-Saturn scale. Devlin and Darko kicked out all-things-danceable from T.I. and Crime Mob to George Michael and Vanity 6. Party-goers made their way in droves up to the Hayden Planetarium for screenings of “Journey to the Stars”—a scene reminiscent of a school field trip, only this time with booze. Amanda Blank closed out the evening, slinging her salacious set of rhymes with some help from her bosom buddy, Spank Rock. The room may have been dark, but Blank’s outfit, made up of just enough strategically-place fabric to not get arrested, lit up the room and kept all eyes on stage. The set ended with Spank’s “Bump” and a shout out to a magazine that Blank called “the best ever.” We’re still blushing.

Amanda Blank, “Might Like You Better (Rusko RMX)” MP3

The first single from Amanda Blank’s forthcoming album I Love You was a put-it-all-on-the-table, frank dare to a dude who she thought needed to rock out with his cock out, ahem. London superproducer Rusko decided to strip the track of its vocals and transform the original intent into an implied proposition through slinky pornstar wobble and boudoir-y dubstep swag. Both tracks reach the same end: you, with your pants down (ahem 3000!). We’re blushing, bear with us here while you stream the entire album at her myspace.

FADER TV: Amanda Blank Tells Us Everything!
- story THE FADER
Our grand plans for a Katie Couric-style interview with Phila diva Amanda Blank were squashed visually when we realized our jump-cutting machine was temporarily busted… but we still got a probing, Emmy-award-contending investigative piece that REVEALS ALL! Including Ms. Blank’s forthcoming Madonna-inspired pop album, her love letter to Lil Wayne, and the pregnant suit that she made out of a one-piece Speedo and an oversized bra. Plus you can listen to her new Switch-produced single below courtesy of RCRD LBL and decide if it sounds like “Papa Don’t Preach,” or if any major institutions are going to boycott her for promoting dirty vices to impressionable youths.

It may not have the allure of animated vaginas and whatnot, but Spank Rock’s new video, with appearances by Santogold, Illvia of Kudu and Amanda Blank is as good as insane B-movie clips get. Directed by Jeremy Engaard. (via RCRD LBL and their humongous video player)
