Ryan Adams Writes A Song, Feels Up Mandy Moore

thubmnail icon: Ryan Adams Writes A Song, Feels Up Mandy Moore

Just when we were feeling the loss of Ryan's Powered By Tumblr whoa-versharing, the internet steps up in a big way. First and music-most, D R Adams has written a song. In other news, today is Wednesday. But here's the twist: since his blog is defunct, Ry's free to write songs about stuff other than defending his blog. Stuff like, the news! In a song called "A Song In The News." Which starts with a nice and ramshackle garage-y guitar progression and quickly drowns in lyrics that really should have been posted to his Tumblr page sans music ("A song in the news seems simple, when i cruise the words" ... NO). We liked it better when he was writing the hits with stupid. You can listen at this player, which is streaming track bits from the Esopus Mag Spring '08 sampler (thanks, FuelFriends).

Also, there the thing about Ryan grabbing some Moore at a comic book store, while also looking like Rick Moranis:

That shade of liveblog-blond looked so much better through your iSight, Ry. But whatever, we're still staring at a wall blogging. Things seem to be going pretty OK for you.

By getting Mandy Moore to enter a comic store with him, Ryan Adams has just won. Wonder what trades he's making her read? (Besides Batman)

looks like that crazy alt country lifestyle is finally catching up with mandy.

i bet ryan adams cries during sex... and it's REALLY AWKWARD with everyone involved.

Really awkward WITH everyone involved? Is this an orgy we're talking about here?

The only thing more irritating than Ryan's tumblr, which I used to follow, are the people who are obsessed with him to the point of only having blog entries that are reblogs of him. Talk about a worthless existance.

I am so disappointed that I care who he is dating. What can SHE contribute to his genius? I am obviously a sad person . . .

she's looking more and more like Gillian Welch the longer she hangs out with him.

Ryan looks like a homeless man who is hassling Mandy for loose change so he can buy a six-pack of beer and get in an argument with the sidewalk.

hahha, he really does look like Rick Moranis. Clearly he is doing something right if he continuously is dating the social elite and actually getting them to step into a comic book store with him. Kudos to the man for making good music while being a grade A pimp

I love mandy moore and I really really love ryan adams ... but together it's comparable to brushing your teeth then, immediately after, drinking orange juice.

why the fuck do people care what ryan adams does with his hair?

christ's sake, you all sound like hollywood tabloids with no lives. You either like his music or you don't; for the latter, no one cares! he's making music; doing what he likes to do. who are you to be such a harsh critic?
