Constantine off Idol?! WHAT?!! Well it's about time... maybe down the road him and Bo Bice can do a "Jeremy" duet together. Actually, if they put together a "Hunger Strike" cover, I might be thrilled.

In Constantine related news... do you think him getting kicked off will up the bidding (see below) or will people scramble for a piece of history. Yes, that's right, a piece of histoty.

Birthday greetings from Texas.

Over at scenestars.net, Cold Roses from our pal Ryan Adams and his pals the Cardinals is available for stream.

In my opinion Britney was probably looking for the MTV Buzz Bin CD that featured Radiohead's "Creep," but couldn't find it. So she prompted to buy Pablo Honey. Kid A would melt her brain. The Bends, OK Computer, and Hail to the Thief would melt Kevin's brain. And neither of them can pronounce Amnesiac.

So there's my two cents.

Again, parabens! (congrats in Portuguese)

good mittens to constantine too !
his old band "pray for the soul of betty" also announced yesterday that KOCH is releasing their old demos

actually am-idoler federov is the one that i hate ... they should make the doctor that gave him the tracheotomy come on the show and apologize for making americans wear out their mute buttons, i think they should make scott come out every week on the show and next season too just so they can have him mope around and look sad

happy birthday to stereogum

Happy Birthday to one of my favourite bloggers!!!!

Let's see:

Tom and Katie - both portray goodie two shoes off screen and he'll try to get her to be a scientologist (she's young enough to convert). But on screen, they like to get dirty (she has played a whore quite well). Both are good actors with shiny teeth - so I see at least a few months on this one.

Constantine off Idol - His band got a contract last week? His fans did him the biggest favour in the world by voting him off that show. He can go home and after the final airs, promote his album before he does the 12 final idol tour. I have seen the idol contract up close and personal - it's a bitch if you make it. He's somewhat free. Break those chains for him bitches!!!

Britney will not buy Radiohead because she's not that smart sugar. I love how you have so much faith in her though; it's so touching. It's like you can handle her truth, as she says on her new UPN show (I think of you when I see the commercial). I think she will buy anything mentioned on the OC because she's a hip pregnant 20 something looking to stay cool. I bet she tivo's that, Joan of Arcadia, Summerland, and any other teen show and tries to get her monkey Kevin to write down the name of the bands/songs listed. It's time he does something besides knock women up.

As for MP3's, I have one for you but I think you wrote about it - I was computerless for a bit for repairs. What do you think of Akon's Lonely? I adore it so much and where I live in a city of 1.5 mil; it's number one on every station.

http://www.mandelion.com/audio/Akon%20-%20Lonely%20.mp3

It's the one MP3 my kid makes me play on repeat constantly :)

Have a great birthday!!!!

nothing bothers me more than when people point out such an arbitrary fact as a birthday similarity. I guess I could understand "omg we were born on the same day, same year." that is something of a coincidence. But generally you get people saying things like "OMG mine was yesterday - what a coincidence" or "wow, my moms birthday is saturday - thats crazy"

that is NOT crazy. its just an unexceptional occurrence. Who cares?

But Happy Birthday to stereogum.

Produced by James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens, Pedro the Lion, Ester Drang), Cheyenne's new album rests somewhere inbetween each of these artists, with a midwestern Bruce Springsteen added in. They are on The Record Machine label out of KC.

crane - they are trying to keep the album really secret and very few copies have gotten out. I hope no one posts a link to the new record, cause they are trying really hard to keep it from the downloaders until at least closer to the release date. we gotta respect that!

How come everyone's using your birthday to promote their own shit? Bunch of self-absorbed attention whores who are only looking out for their own interests.

Fuck that.

It's my birthday too.

But i wont link to my blog here cause it's not about that.

Happy Smurfday!

I wanted to get you this:

http://www.barcodeart.com/art/portrait/oprah_frames.html

Because probably you don't already have a picture of Oprah created entirely with bar codes. But then I remembered that I don't have any money. So instead I give you a scrumptious free mp3 by my boyfriends We Are Scientists.

Have your cake and eat it too. Otherwise, what's the point.

How would one go about saving an mp3 that is just a line of text sort of link? I've not a clue, but I want them. Like, now.

Thanks for any help or advice! :^)

Okay, here goes...

Happy Birthday Stereogum...

And I'm sorry your parents had such bad taste in first names. Did you get teased much in school?

Oh, and here's my guess: The Bends. That's what our blonde bombshell (riiight) will buy next.

Let me see... birthday prezzies...
What's a birthday without illegality?

3 full sublime albums? http://crackrock.us/~fortyounces/Sublime/

Velvet revolver? velvet revolver full album
http://www.v-net.org/~dhiarmid/Velvet%20Revolver%20-%20Contraband/

More 'punk' than you can shake a stick at? http://www.punkunited.com/mp3s.php

And this is my actual prezzie for you.

Go to gmail,

login as: stereogumsbirthday
password: stereogum

and you'll see tons of tracks there, just for you (sent from my music account...)

I hope it's all there by the time you get there (and I hope no one's vandalized it...)


Enjoy being 150... it's a milestone!
