Courtney Gets Sober, M.I.A. Keeps It Crunk

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.

Neil Young - "Old Man"

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.

M.I.A. - Sunshowers (Diplo Mix)

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.

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

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.

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."

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.

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?

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.

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

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!

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...

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?

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!

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!

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. It is said also you have nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give to your visitor,which is everything then you will gain your real fruits automatically.
