      oh GOd Thank you. every site I visit is hilton this hilton that. making me frickin’ sick. i actually haven’t looked at anything yet…

    3. Justin  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2005

      I keep trying to understand why it’s cool that Hillary Duff showed up at Misshapes.

    4. anonymous  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2005

      it’s cool that hillary duff showed up because apparently all the people that frequent the “hipster” haunts are vapid and phony poseurs. it’s not cool to like stupid shit. having said that, keep up the britney updates stereogum.

    5. ultragrrrl  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2005

      perhaps you’re actually vapid and phoney for being so judgemental?

    6. christine  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2005

      britney’s ripping off the olsen twins

    7. That Ryan Adams recording is insanely priceless. RIP Jayhawks, jeez.

    8. spike  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2005

      that absolutely sucks about the Jayhawks…..the Ryan Adams thing is a joke……..Uncle Grambo is the best …………and finally Stereogum you rock

    9. Oh my god. That Ryan Adams sound clip is fucking HILARIOUS…

      “…Um ryan, how many albums are you thinking of putting out this year?” ryan: “maybe 5 or 6…”

      Mechrobioticon? Helicopter Soup? Let’s get Metaphysical?

      “ryan where you even at the recording of Lets get metaphysical?” :ryan: “um, I played guitar on it”

      sooooooooooooooooooo funnnnnnny…

    10. Adrienne  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2005

      ah yes, the dedicated ryan adams fans have been enjoying that recording for sometime.

      He used to put songs from his new albums on the website, but now we just get weird worm noises…

    11. reader  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2005

      the url for ‘Britney Zone’ is wrong.

      you forgot a ‘b’…

    12. ritneyzone.com? is that a new way to say ‘ho’?

    13. Congrats, Scott Stereobest. Man, I remember back in the dizz when this blog was but a lonely LiveJournal. That was a LONG time ago, yo.

      Stay bovs!

    16. Grimmone  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2005

      I can just imagine the phone call the next moring between Hillary and Haylie.

      “Oh my gwad Hale, Joel and I like went to this party its like get this and I’m so gooing to h e double hockey sticks for saying this it was called Motherfucker!”

      “oooohhhh I’m so punk for saying that and going to that party!”

    17. kevin  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2005

      uh i doubt if QOTSA will be at virgin:
      Homme at home: Queens of the Stone Age has cancelled several European shows because lead singer Josh Homme is suffering from a “serious lung infection.” According to NME.com, the trouble started when Homme “”began coughing up blood in his hotel room.” Posted 5:02 p.m.

      hill and hayl were on regis today. hill got so nervous, she kept clutching haylie’s hand for moral support once the topic of romance came up. no good info. they just said they’re both taking classes at harvard online. isn’t hillary 16? that’s kind of, yeah, highly disturbing they’d let someone 5 years underage go to the mf party

    19. calliwell  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2005

      Someone explain the fucking Ryan Adams thing to me. PLEASE.

    20. Not so fast re: Jayhawks. Despite the original article’s angle, it sounds more like yet another hiatus (they’ve ‘broken up’ hundreds of times before) with possible lineup changes, Gary doing more side projects, etc. Catch Gary back with Mark Olson on tour now; the Ann Arbor MI show was great.

      I have always felt that daises was a weak Eels album. Its fun, but nothing really original. Like moody beck album made after listening to too much tom waits. But who doesn’t listen to too much Tom Waits?

    22. Ishmael  |   Posted on Feb 28th, 2005

      I take it from the Blinking Lights CD cover under the RTiP section that the new Eels album has hit the web?

      Must find.
