Courtney Love Melds Kanye West's Style-Blogging With Ransom Notes' Incoherence
Yesterday, Courtney Love posted some 60 entries to her MySpace blog, all of which incorporated links to couture and sentence fragments; they started off kind of normal, then went on to accusing people in her life of crimes ranging from bitchiness to grand larceny. Included among her targets: Kim Gordon ("she shouldvebeen in the devil wears prada maybe? shes just MEAN, iknow MJ is nice to her"); the media ("except Country Life, The Daily Mail, Guardian, NY Times, and HEAT"); Chloe Sevigny ("weve never been BFF at ALL, ( a guy thing way long ago)"—although she, like me, thinks
Big Love is awesome); and a housekeeper who, Love claims, made off with a bunch of her clothes ("a cow who is into black magic and took all she coul"). Also, probably not surprising what with all the fashion-related content, but she talked a bit about her weight and size and "bastard dna" and how "thata t size 10 [she] was a sexbeast." I'm not sure if that is good or bad or what, but her mood for that particular post was "fat!," so perhaps no. Which makes me kind of sad, actually. [

Hey Courtney Love, What's On Your iPod?
"Ida Marie 'I like you better when you naked,' Drugstore, Elastica live 1994 bootleg, Husker Du particuly she floated away , Blood Red Shoes, REM's latest Acclerate, Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong, The Big Pink 'too young to love,' 'the age of undestatement,' Ladyhawke, Annie 'I know your girlfriend hates me,' Primal Screams cover of Fleetwood Macs cover Over and Over.. Noel Fieldings at Mighty boosh festival july 5 doing old gregg covering his mangina, I did a shit on your mom, not exactly a classic, but still genuis a fuck!You TUBE IT" I guess a better question (aside from the obvious ones involving people doing shits on other people's moms) is "why does your iPod look so much like
my iPod?" [

Buried in the bottom of a retelling of her feud with Trent Reznor—which includes shout-outs to Roberts Christgau and Hilburn—Courtney Love indicates that she might be taking a break from blogging: "I have a sign on my computer, 'DO NOT BLOG. EMBARRASSES CHILD. LACK OF GRAMMATICAL CORRECTNESS AND SPELLING MAKES ONE LOOK ON DRUGS FOR SOME REASON. DON'T START THINKING "BUT... BUT... BURROUGHS." IT'S A MYSPACE BLOG. DON'T DO IT!'" I wish her luck, because I've tried that tactic in my previous life as a "hobbyist" blogger and, well, it hasn't really worked. [

Idolator
Rolling Stone has put up images of 25 of the ballots from its Greatest Singers Of All Time But Really We Only Mean The Rock Era survey, so amateur graphologists can figure out just what Iggy Pop is trying to say when he writes in all-lowercase or the meaning behind the curly tail on Alice Cooper's "M"s. My favorite ballot is, of course, Courtney Love's, in part because her finished product brings the phrase "blotted my copybook" to new heights previously only seen by my Saturday New York Times crossword. Sure, she puts herself at the top of the list, but at least she actually snuck a few under-40s in. Subversive! (Other people who put themselves at No. 1: James Blunt, Sebastian Bach, and Maynard James Keenan, who at least had the guts to let himself stand alone.) [RS]
