I can't recall the last time I renewed though. It has gotten progressively worse with each issue...like clockwork.

It's the closest I've ever come to liking poor, awkward P@r&z, which is to say all not that close.

Hmm...a drive-by shooting by a troll or a disgruntled Interpol fan.

Anyhow, I was once a happy URB subscriber back in '00-02 when they had great writing by the likes of Oliver Wang, Tamara Palmer, and Hua Hsu to name a few. Unfortunately, the zine began veering way too far into indie rock a few years ago. It's almost comparable to Alternative Press's descent into nu-metal/rap-metal hell.

That odd to be good for a chuckle.

Beth is surely too taken with her celebrity status in Britain to remember the little people. She's got about another 6 months left in the NME's good graces, methinks.

On a somewhat realted note, I've been watching The Sopranos from the beginning this month and in addition to cameos from both Buster and JOB Bluth, I was amused to see Perez show up for about five seconds in one episode. He looked so much better back when he was just Mario. Probably still a douche, though.

I remember when URB was a respectable electronica zine five years ago. It's been downhill since they slapped a photo of Interpol's prettyboy bassist on their cover.

In interviews she is so eloquent and (in comparison to the lohans of this world) normal.

Why oh why spend time with that puffed up twit.

I've never wished lawsuit-weilding lawyers more success than I do all the wonderful people suing the crap out of PH. You go, lawyer boys! Sue! Sue!
