when she has her act together she does great things. i wish she'd make more movies (she's picked a lot of interesting roles in weird little films and her screen presence is amazing), but i wonder if her looks are too shot now. :-(

was going to see the America's Sweetheart tour but it got cancelled

roffle - I'm still holding on to my ticket, just in case... I suppose at this point I should just send it in for the refund. Sigh...

She'll be back. Her work's not done yet and she knows it.

"did you miss me?"

Heheh. "They say that rock is dead, and they're probably right.."

I'm listening to Celebrity Skin right now, actually ("Petals"). So many great lines on this. Before that, Pretty on the Inside, because I really like "Mrs. Jones" for some reason, it's so aggro but there are still some funny lines, uh, not great on paper but the delivery makes them work. "When you fall for the garbage man.. you wind up in the garbage."

Anyone else like Zeplin Song as much as me? I get the feeling most Hole fans really hate it, but it cracks me up, esp "Why are the stoners always stoned? Why are the burners always toast? Why did the chicken cross the road?... To get away from the Zeplin song." awesome. oh, and this one:

Why does he rain on my parade?
Why does the song remain the same?
I can't remember my own name

There's still smack out there to be shot up.

To go back to my initial question, Gitane Demone's (of Christian Death fame) 'Stars of Trash' is pretty close in spirit to 'Celebrity Skin' (but not as catchy).

Weirdo!

three months pass...
Any new ideas? I'm thinking some emo bands out there must have polished and protooled their ansgt and shiny guitars enough to come close.

Strange that no one has mentioned Kenickie or Angelica.

dunno if you've seen this, but what she does about half way thru this clip made ms. love go way way up in my estimation.
one of the coolest things i've ever seen anyone do onstage
(the kids up there had been pulled out of the crowd at the front by her beforehand).

I find it entirely shocking that the genius, anthemic track "Dying" received not one mention on this thread. Melissa's backing vocals are ethereal and flawless.

Driving down to L.A. once I threw this album on and was surprised to find that everyone in the car with me knew all the words to every song, and we screamed our lungs out from start to finish and some even harmonized. It was amazing.

I also asked Linda Perry about Courtney's new album when I was at her birthday party, and she said it's "so good that it's not even funny."
You know Billy's working with her again. We'll see....

Ah now I can I make it bump

is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Thursday, 2 November 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

one year passes...

Judging by the boots of Courtney's new album floating around, this could finally be it.

baaderonixx, Thursday, 22 November 2007 12:13 (sixteen years ago) link

The two songs I heard were good.

Liked "Malibu," couldn't stand the rest. Maybe I was the wrong age or tge wrong frame of mind when it came out. Prefer "America's Sweethear" by a long shot.
