He's popping pills and he's calling his ex.

Billboard Sept 16

• I should be reading this magazine, but I'm totally enthralled by the Walkmen's webpage right now.
• I've been in kind of a general funk for the past couple of weeks.
• I've also been watching Velvet Goldmine a lot more than is advisable.
• I don't think the two things are entirely unrelated.
• Plus, all my best stories are kind of unbloggable right now.
• That's annoying.
• And it must be irritating to read.
• Like when your best friend in third grade says they have a secret they can't tell you and you realize, hunh--maybe your friendship isn't that great.
• Or not.
• And the Killers just get uglier and uglier...
• Although one of them looks not unlike a certain AV clerk I made out with once.
• More Envanescence.
• Now, I know I give a lot of lip service to my 16yrold self and what she would have liked, but I just don't know about this one.
• Although, of course, I always support the messy goth princess look in clothing.
• And too much black eye makeup.
• The shirt Ashley Simpson is wearing in this picture looks suspiciously like a cami Janice and I both bought on clearance at Victoria's Secret and rocked the summer after freshman year.
• At least one of us wore it to the Warped Tour that year.
• Except ours was cuter.
• And, keeping in mind that this was almost 10 years ago. Very Gwen Stefani, before her really crazy shit started.
• The founder of YouTube looks like whatshisface from Six Feet Under.
• Claire's art school boyfriend who screwed their teacher.
• The ads in this issue look like they were laid out by a high school yearbook committee.
• At a "special" school.
• Berry played with the rest of REM earlier this month!
• Does anyone see a vague physical resemblance between Fergie and Charo?
• Or is it just all the work?
• What is it about Jared Leto that he can be wearing a stupid hat and what looks like a backwards tie (apparently, if you can't read, you also can't put a tie on right), and I still think he's pretty.
• Damn you, My So-Called Life!
