New Duran Duran video here. Yawn.
Duran Duran went and reunited themselves — they didn’t need VH1′s Aamer to do it for them.
The final episode of Bands Reunited‘s thoroughly awesome second season is on tonight. It’s the Motels. If you haven’t been watching this week, you missed Haircut 100, ABC, New Kids On The Block, and the English Beat. There will be a few more episodes later this fall. (Hint: rhymes with Schminformation Society!)
Good to see Haircut 100 getting some love. When I was in high school I picked up a free cassingle of Nick Heyward’s “Kite” at the short-lived Purple Haze record store in Albertson, NY. The track became a fixture on every mixed tape I made thereafter. Ivy did a cool (albeit note for note) interpretation on their covers album. Sorry I don’t have either version for you right now … go track “Kite” down.
As for bands that you wish would reunite but never will … stream The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads, their newly expanded 1982 live package.
And from Matador comes news of another Pavement reissue. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: Desert Origins drops 10/26 and features 39 (!) extra tracks. Stereogum still hearts “Cut Your Hair.”
Finally, here’s another fashion statement from our favorite future stepmom (via The Sun):

(For the record, no I am not bidding on Britney’s butts.)
On more thing: November 6 and 7 are the dates set for the 3rd All Tomorrow’s Parties at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA with festival curators Modest Mouse as Saturday night’s headliners. Flaming Lips headline Sunday on a bill featuring The Shins.





































The sunglasses pinch her nose.
Someone please advise her that people will continue to laugh at her, except with more reason, if she continues to wear those shirts with the pointless mind made up points and not facts.
Don’t let them shoot your kite down. Man, I loved that song.
Crooked Rain x2 – 39 tracks?!!!! Wow. Jervo still hearts “Gold Soundz”.
why does her face look a little purple?
Ava, I think it is from her ‘makeover’ Jive is paying for. Some $600,000 (skin treatments, extensions, clothes, blah, blah, blah). After all that…she still looks like shit.
Scott! You are my hero….I can’t stop watching. What will Brit-Brit do tomorrow? No. Wait. What will her shirt say tomorrow?
seriously, who is making her all these shirts? they’re annoying and if they become a fashion trend, I’m going to shove her Uggs down her throat. Literally.
If she couldn’t say no to him, it just proves that she IS truly White Trailer Trash.
those sunglasses look ridiculous.
um. i thought she asked him…
as ABC said: “You think you’re smart/ Stupid! Stupid!”
Oh, those butts … damn
Looks like she dug those sunglasses out of a thrift shop.
I love how the seller’s “proof” that it’s an authentic Britney-smoked cigarette is that it’s a Marlboro Ultra Light.
Because there is no way that they could have gone out and bought, I don’t know, their own pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights, and added, I don’t know, their own lipstick stain.
Her shirts are from adiqshun.com
I THINK THESE TOPS THAT HAVE ALL THESE LITTLE REMARKS ON THEM ARE DAILY REMINDERS OF WHY SHE’S MAKING THESE MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN… I GUESS WE KNOW ONE THING OR ONE TO MANY BRTINEY LACKS SELF CONFIDENCE….
The shirts are awesome!!! Because it shows that she is paying attention to the fact that we are all paying attention. She’s REBELLING, y’all! And they are sooooo funny. They amuse me. I am glad to see them photographed and posted here.
Come through like a world premiere…
Britney is a funny ass biatch.
I don’t think she lacks self confidence, she’s just having fun y’all.
does anyone know what brand britney’s sunglasses are?
what’s wrong with thrift store sunglasses? nothing.
i don’t understand why she insists on making diy shirts. she’s in the public eye enough to just come out and just say whatever she wants, rather than wear it on her chest. she’s a fucking douche-bot.
I believe brit is a great gal who has great taste and a grat body
I also believe bush isin’t a dumbas……..

another pic from Sept 8th’s kori episode.
that site also sells the very clever tshirts!!
I wonder how much tons of heavy bottles of foundation does Britney have to put on her face every morning in order to hide her huge infected spreading acne spots?
Plus, with all the benjamins she got on her purse, couldn’t she afford a decent pair of sunglasses? I mean Armani, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, helllooo? Isn’t she aware that they make some pretty nice ones? Instead, it seems like she bought this scary clown-looking ones in Toys R us. That’s sad. And by the way, who cares if she thinks that her skinny ass loser is the One? I mean, he was living ” la vida Broka” before he met her, so he’s probably gonna stick to her for a while. He’s already receiving a monthly allowance thanks to his clueless girl.
after seeing the haircut 100 episode i tracked down nick heywards “kite” because i remembered hearing it way back in 94 on the radio and loving it so much but leaving it at that. thanks vh1 for bringing me all the way back 10 years to a long forgotten great song. i’m off to search for that ivy cover now!
btw did they really think they could get NKOTB to reunite? i KNEW it wasn’t gonna happen… c’mon now!
DROP BUSH NOT BOMBS!!
