Britney Spears or Courtney Love? Via your fave new bookmark Golden Fiddle:

Speaking of our favorite crazy, Miss Love opens up in the latest Steppin’ Out Magazine:

“When I was in rehab, I had some really cool CDs with me. I had Dylan and I had R.E.M. and I had Neil Young’s Decades. I put on Decades and I heard ‘Old Man.’ It was 5 in the morning and I was kicking Xanax, and it was a fucking nightmare, and I saw Neil standing above me. And I was like, ‘Neil, you’re God! This is great!’ … And that was huge. I thought, ‘I can do this. I can get through this, and Neil is going to get me through’ … It was a deeply spiritual thing. It was cool.”

So … if you’ve got a family member kicking Xanax this holiday season, Neil’s new Greatest Hits is the gift for you.

Here’s how I pick the intro to “Old Man” on my abused Guild.

Hammer is KEY. Watch me turn this into a guitar tab blog and see traffic evaporate!

In other news, I finally picked up that catchdubtastic M.I.A. mixtape on Gerald‘s tip. Nick and Matt have been talking it up for weeks, but I’ve obviously got my head up my ass listening to Neil Young. It’s gonna be a very Diplo XMas on my iPod. Lemme know what you think of these Hollertronix jawns. You can purchase the CD here.

    did you know james taylor played banjo on old man? good trivia…

  3. sarah  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Wait, I thought she didn’t do drugs.

  4. horace  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    whoa, if you’d continue to combine great artists (even a tab!) with the stupid pop shit in the same post, well, then you’d finally have something here.

  5. Just how long did it take you to type out that tab?

  6. BeavisOnCrack  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Are you sure that is not Britney?

  7. sweetpea  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    im still looking and cant get the uncanny brit resemblense out of my mind!
    man thats crazy it reminds of those pictures
    on one of those tests from school where they ask you to pick out “whats different about the picture?”
    if we were judging from the time “doll parts” came out and now….not damn much i can tell u that!

  8. Grimmone  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Yeah she totally looks like Britt in those pictures. Brit or Hillary Duff’s crack whore aunt.

    But I do agree with her Neil Young is god. I think I was the only person who found Greenvale to be interesting

  9. Grimmone  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Ooops my bad Greendale

    HOLY FUCKIN’ SHIT! You know you’re lookin’ beat when you can be mistaken for the middle aged courtney love/homeless crackwhore/(same thing) … I mean, DAMN. She’s only like 22, right?

    britney and courtney should totally get together and compare yeast infections.

  11. chris  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Yikes. It is Brit. Her outfit is ultra trailer. Her big slide into white trash is soo fun to watch!

  12. you know what’s cool…?

    Play both of those MIA songs at the same time, it’s not too hard to get them goin’ in time .

    It actually sounds better(it does fall apart a bit later).

    I love the original song, “Sunshower.”

  13. Grimmone  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    I’m like Ms World y’all. Courtney is real nice I met her after one of the Kaballah meetings and she lent me this tira crown thingie. She wouldn’t stop hanging all over me and KFed but she was real nice.

  14. j-tron  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Is it just me, or is it weird that the U2 song from the last post was called “Xanax and Wine?” What’s up with all the Xanax on Stereogum?

  15. > Is it just me, or is it weird that the U2 song > from the last post was called “Xanax and Wine?”

    Ha … I’m obviously being brainwashed by the spam robots that leave comments on this site!

  16. so why hasnt her daughter been taken away yet? that is so typical. she is a CRACK addict and she gets to keep her daughter. weird.

  17. chris  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Are you referring to Kori or Frances Bean?

  18. elizabeth  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    i love tabs. make more tabs. tabs are nice. yay. and britney scares me. less britney.

  19. Carla  |   Posted on Dec 13th, 2004

    Perhaps Brit Brit’s dog attacked her.

  20. pippincat  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    Awww, there are way more embarrassing pictures of Britney from that day too, stereogum. She’s totally wearing a gross tummy baring t-shirt with no bra. I’m all for not putting effort into appearance if you’re just going to the gym or what have you, but she obviously put some effort in if she decided to but that retarded little tiara in her hair. Jeez Louise.

  21. omg the mia mixtape is so hot. i fucking love ever track on that bitch. and what about that resurrected ‘walk like an egyptian’ bam bam indeed

  22. Beans  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    I thought it was Mary Kate.

  23. BeavisOnCrack  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    I though Courtneys daughter did get taken away, and she now lives with Kurts mom, but in Courtneys house, or something like that.

  24. bobette  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    Holy Crap. How much xanax was that bitch taking? She was kicking it in the rehab and ‘saw neil young’! and that was her epiphany??? sheesh. give gives prescription meds for the people who really need them a BAD name. I just want her to get hooked on food and get fat and end up on the tv show big fat loser.

    then, i will appreciate her ‘struggles’. she deserves to be broke. she just needs to start her life OVER!

  25. normal  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    ” just want her to get hooked on food and get fat and end up on the tv show big fat loser.”

    Ah, the holidays… a time of good will toward one’s fellow humans.

  26. bobette  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    truth be told…she def has the addictive personality?she’ll kick the one thing and head straight for another. You’re right though, it’s the holidays, with the spirit of compassion i certainly hopes she gets way into the kabballah, yoga, and pilates starts drinking soy lattes with the club all full of hotties, blah blah blah.

    she is such a wastoid, do you think she’ll ever change her ways??? i am having some major doubts. but hey…r.downey…

    anyhooters…

  27. sweetpea  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    damn she just looks like she smells!
    she looks like she just leaves a trail of ‘stankness’!!!

  28. BeavisOnCrack  |   Posted on Dec 14th, 2004

    Damn I wonder who is more white trash, Anna Nicole Smith, or Brit. I would have to say Britney is more white trash. Atleast Anna married a billionair, and not an unemployed, 2 kids having, back-up dancer, who never wears fucking laces in his shoes. Whats up with that?

  29. Hmm, Courtney, that “spiritual experience” is what we call “good music”. Nice feeling, huh? Sure beats Xanax and heroin IMHO, you should tell Pete Doherty.
    Nice tab of a great song, you make me wanna play it!

  30. jenn  |   Posted on Dec 16th, 2004

    keep those tabs comin, especially if they’re neil young!

  31. Grimmone  |   Posted on Dec 18th, 2004

    I just watched that Nick Broomfeild movie on Trio the other day “Kurt and Courtney”, and it seems as if nuttiness must run in Courtney’s family her dad is interviewed in the movie and after seeing him interviewed I now know whose personality Courtney inherited!

  32. BeavisOnCrack  |   Posted on Dec 22nd, 2004

    Im sure the heroin doesent help either.

  33. even not a single day, I get the time to review my archive’s comments, Is that you are going to write here or asking with yourself? It depends upon your consideration that what you THINK ABOUT YOUR ARCHIVE. May be others are liking that u are in right way, but i m aware about this which effect your archive page.
