I really, really dislike Ultragrrl [edited title - mod]

...
not really. I honestly do get extremely violent urges whenever I see an image of Ultragrrrl.

why does this warrant "shooting in the face"?

at least pick on somebody more deserving. and "shooting in the face" is just needlessly nasty and cruel sounding!

I think she's okay. She's not *my type*. She loves Soulwax a little too much for my liking, but other than that, she seems fun. Why the hate? The comments on her blog are really crazy. does she still write for Spin?

It's been a while since I've checked out the science section of Yahoo! and to my luck, when I finally did, I found out about a new dinosaur exhbit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The exhibit called Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, appears to focus on the new evidence that suggests that some dinos had feathers and wings and were way more birdlike than previously thought. For even the most basic of science nerd wannabes like myself, the knowledge that dinos and birds are closely related is old news, but it appears that this exhibit probably probes deeper inside this, and shows new evidence and theories. My friend Dave (who is in town to perform on monday at Lit as The Lost Weekend -- he sounds a bit like Nick Cave and surprisingly great -- and if you're from LA you might know him as Hardcore Dave from Swingers) and Brian have both already agreed to come with me to the exhibit, and if I can about 10 others it'll be like a reinactment of the class trip I took to the museum as a kiddie. I wonder if the dinosaurs will seem as big -- probably since I grew only about 4 inches since then.

her music taste is questionable to say the least but how could you actively wish violence upon her?

Her book cover makes her worthy of disembowelment.

i reserve shooting in the face for people who are, y'know, actually evil.

i forget she is a little bit hot

she looks like trayce in that last pic.

lol

would not smash

of course, she looks like you in drag

wham bam

not even close

doesn't she just sort of pick bands who are tipped by nme or whatever anyway, and then go "hey guyz, there's this hot noo band..."

Aw, she looks happy.

Also, it's probably sad that one of the first things i noticed was her Burned-on-iTunes-using-default-blue-CD-cover-template CD-R scrapbook in the second pic.

She looks a little like my sister-in-law's partner.

that was a really shitty article

Somewhere between cheery and strained. But surprisingly cheery.

I used to hang with Jay Z at work, would hang with courtney love for days at a time, got kissed by members of the smiths, felt like i belonged, got kidnapped by the killers (almost famous-style), had bands play my apt, danced & laughed til i fell, watched sunrises with boys i fell in love with, felt loved by friends, felt loved by music, and survived. My days and nights were never ending.

ok a 31-year-old get all teary-eyed about 'the good old days' is bumming me out

Yeah, I was thinking that 32 sounded a little young to turn into a middle-aged homebody.

it happened to me, and i've never even been kissed by jay z!

^ this

I'm 31 and vaguely intended to out tonight but now it's about an hour before I'd need to get on the bus and I'm feeling fairly content to sit on the sofa and do nothing of any use or interest instead, exactly as has happened every other time I thought I might go out over the past year. And I've never been kissed by Jay-Z or any members of the Smiths.

i'm 30 and definitely an old homebody in a lot of ways but if i sat around thinking about how much more i "felt loved by friends" a few years ago, jesus

You are all mere babies.

I completely forgot about her. It always creeped me out how much she looks like Brian Molko.

(xp) true. it sounds like she was actually pretty unhappy at the time in which she "belonged" and her "days and nights were never ending" too.

I can relate to that romanticised view of former stressful, busy, pretty shitty life phase too, though admittedly on a much less glamorous scale...

its like being a former child star or a former pop star. the phone doesn't ring like it used to...

she says in that online chat thing that she wanted to die/kill herself when she ran a label. i didn't even know she had run a label. all was not sweetness and light in utragrrrrrl world.

well i think there's something to be said for the notion that it must really be psychologically--i don't want to say "painful" because who knows--altering to be such an "it" person for a brief period of time and coasting on something that really isn't going to last, and then going back down to earth. i'm sure it's weird to know that your apex of fame has come and gone (though i guess it's only harmful if you care too much about that fact!)

me irl

like being a successful athlete or - hey - a rock star, figuring out what to do w/the rest of yr life is a bitch

Wow. I really disliked her writing back then. Now though, I can't help liking her.

I would like to read more interviews with hip people five years after anyone who once had, stopped giving a shit about them.

is it too soon for hipster grifter?

lol

I was going to wait at least one more year before busting out my korean abgom-jabbar dn

I was recently called out on Twitter about this thread. Suffice to say, back in the late 90's through early 2000's, I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised, insensitive and objectionable comments here, usually couched within the frequently missed understanding that I should not be taken so deathly seriously.

Some people may have gleaned as much, but others did not. It is certainly not a a testament to my abilities to convey my genuine points that my venom and bluster was so routinely taken at face value. Moreover, I was probably frequently inconsiderate, unthinking and impulsive about the things I contributed here.

In short, I was a callously unthinking dick quite a lot of the time. Having big opinions about things shouldn't give one license to behave like I did, and I was out of line on more than a few occasions, this thread being just one of them.

In any case, I believe I penned a mea culpa on my blog some years ago to the same effect but it bears repeating. I am sorry. I did not mean any harm. I was foolish and stupid. I sincerely apologize to Ultrragrrl, Scout Niblett and any number of other targets i singled out for spleen-venting.

I regret it all.

"I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised.."

Awful.

One more thing on this: i used to blithely suggest that no one's day should be ruined by something they read on a public forum about music, as if that was some shiny badge that enabled me to be callous, boorish, pig-headed and insulting. Well, that's a pile of crap, and I again apologize. Regardless of the subject matter of a discussion, there's never an excuse for being a belittling jerk. I was and am that jerk, and I apologize again.
