Oh, and...

Are Mom Jeans hip now? Did I miss this memo?

Here we see whats-her-face Eleanor Friedberger from Fiery Furnaces at The Music Hall of Williamsburg rocking a sweet pair of vintage Mom Jeans. She must love that 9 inch zipper! Is she smuggling surfboards?



Meanwhile...


The other night I was packing a tight bowl with Kim Deal (Pixies/Breeders) and we was talking about the new Breeders’ new album “Mountain Battles”, but she didn’t shy away from talk of a new Pixies record: She says there won’t be one (with her on bass, at least). “Helllll no,” she says. “Because I don’t want to.” HOLLA!

And lastly...



I came across a hilarious excerpt from Ghostface Killah: The World According To Pretty Toney. Here Pretty Toney discusses the hygiene crisis within the rap community.
