What comrades are talking about right now:
They go and create the greatest travesty to music everywhere, a super group of super has-beens. Don’t believe me? Well check out SURESHOT.

Don’t call them a boy band, because they are all pussiesMan! Actually, I think they are the first ever proclaimed Man Band. …Err. Gross. Line-up includes: Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), Rich Cronin (LFO) and Bryan Abrams (Color Me Badd). The sheer atrocity… musical monstrosity… plain stupidity- ugh I do not know what compels people to become a televised train wreck but what the heck, I’ll watch. And point. And laugh. And sheepishly enjoy every moment of it. EEP!

I must admit that, of all the British pop starlets coming up nowadays, Lily Allen has to be the most endearing to my homosexual idolatries. She smokes, punches the paparazzi, and is openly vocal about the things she hates/loves/ingests. Here are a few snippets of the lovely things that come from her mouth when she isn’t singing: 
“I think Paris is amazing. I mean she’s hideous, but I think she’s amazing at the same time.”
“I love her. I think The Simple Life is genius. I can never figure out if she plays up to it or not.”
But apparently this isn’t the first time she took some shots at Parasite Hilton. She once labeled her “useless and hideously untalented” and suggested people who bought her debut album should be killed off.
I know what you’re thinking, taking cheap shots at Hilton is like handing out Valtrex prescriptions to her victims, but Hilton isn’t the only one she goes after. She goes after Amy Winehouse, and that my friend is dangerous. Winehouse will drive drunk into your house and piddle on your dead dog. Honest, speaking from personal experience. Allen dares to call into question her rival Amy Winehouse’s singing ability.
She added: “I think she has a cool voice. But saying that, I don’t think it’s her real voice.”
Lily. Run. These bitches look stabby. You’re too cute to die. That and I need more poppy albums to sing to while I curl my hair and wear my mother’s pearls. What, don’t judge! I put them back when I am done! Sheesh.

Okay…I’ll start with the ‘credit where it’s due’ portion of these rants from which I do so enjoy reaping your pleas of “Foul!!!” Sure, at least half of Spiderland is very well crafted; heavy with the kind of sad, somber, creepy nerd atmosphere that makes it perfect for long drives/walks through rural areas on overcast days or makeout sessions with people who consider themselves beautifully outcasted. Nothing wrong with all that I ‘spose, but….
Funny thing about Slint…I was seventeen or so when they were touring in support of Tweez, their first album. I was really excited because I’d been a really big Squirrelbait fan (and, if you haven’t heard Squirrelbait, imagine a less overrated Hüsker Dü with better hooks and fuelled by more adolescent piss and vinegar) and, well, Slint was ex-‘bait (Brian McMahon was Squirrelbait’s second guitarist, Britt Walford had played on their first album). Granted, I wasn’t expecting Squirrelbait. The week leading up to the show, the local community radio station had been playing songs off of Tweez, which sounded nothing like Squirrelbait, which was fine. They were closer, sonically, at the time, to Big Black and Rapeman except…well, a noodly, jammy, unfocused cousin to Albini and Co’s steely bludgeoning.
Maybe I was just young and didn’t know what to make of it, but now I’m older and I do. It still chugs choad. Truth be told, even Slint’s fans realize Tweez pretty much blows. No song on that fucking album gels, ever, really. They don’t even really begin or end, they just kind of start and then trail off. It’s like trying to have a conversation with that acquaintance you have who can never finish a thought and so just giggles to himself and says “sorry” every third word. Sure, there are a couple of decent riffs, some harmonics that sound like the tune in Close Encounters and some fun, busy drum work but, as a whole, it’s pretty much useless. Read more »
For years Bobby and Whitney defied the odds and stayed together despite their illicit drug usage and tumultuous public fighting. Like the song goes, “there is no truer love than a crack pipe love.” But apparently, their recent divorce has started a trend.

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are (possibly) DUNZO! According to sources, “Movers were spotted at Moss’s London home Wednesday removing furniture and guitars, a piano, paintings and suitcases. According to the UK’s Daily Mirror, Moss was furious over reports that Doherty had a fling with a South African model last week.”
GASP! Infidelity! Drug use! Ugly British calamity! Someone call the Lifetime Channel because we have a movie of the week in progress! Sigh, but don’t you worry about Petey and Katie. They have done this song and catwalk before. A source said, “Moss, 33, and Doherty, 28, have dated off and on for two years, with their relationship marked by Doherty’s repeated arrests on drug charges. Still, Doherty has long insisted they planned to marry, and claimed in memoirs published last month that they would wed this summer if he could stay drug-free.” Hmm, I guess by his own admission its over because nobody puts Meth-baby in a corner–unless, that is, to smoke it. Then it’s DYNO-MITE!

I think I’m beginning to see what Kate Moss sees in Babyshambles’ front-man, Pete Doherty. Not only was he two hours late for London court this morning but a judge had to issue a warrant for his arrest. When he did arrive he pleaded guilty to possessing quantities of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine as well as to two driving offenses. An utter dreamboat!
Last night Pete was out on the town telling people that he’s “drowning his sorrows.”
More like drowning in your semi-famous music career. I have never even heard a Babyshambles song let alone figured out what he is even famous for. Pete, is this self destructive lifestyle some cry for help or a career ambition to kill yourself so you will be remembered forever? Listen, Petey-baby, there was only one Nirvana and at least Kurt Cobain did “MTV Unplugged.” You, my friend, have only plugged one Kate Moss. Cobain, FTW.
Well, if they are, don’t tell Alex Turner, lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys.
Turner has announced that he has created a pop supergroup made of up of fellow British musicians. The Arctic Monkey revealed to the British newspaper <I>The Mirror</I> that he, along with Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal and James Righton from the Klaxons, have begun recording a new album as a group – although neither the names of the debut nor the band have been revealed.
While Turner, Allen and Rascal have worked together in the past, this is the first time the three of them have worked with Righton, whom they recruited during England’s Glastonbury Festival, which took place this past weekend.
So far, no other news has been made available except that the record, according to Turner, “will be out before you know it”.
I am not holding my breath for this music collaboration. No, wait, actually I am. That way I will be dead and I won’t have to hear the horror that usually comes from such unholy unions. I mean, what supergroup actually succeeded? Gorillaz? They had to turn into freaking cartoons to get along. I don’t know about you, but I am all set on going 2D to get famous. …Or am I? So hayyyyyy, any you readers happen to have a penchant for drawing and drum machines? I’ll pay (in Fritos) and you play. Is that too much to ask? Fine, Doritos but only Cool Ranch, and you better not touch the couches. Or at least sit on the plastic-covered ones. What?! My parents are immigrants!
