heard new morrissey songs today from some demo sessions. where did the irony and cynicism go? what is this "i like you, please hold me" bullshit? oy, morrissey, someone needs to punch you so that you feel some sarcasm again.

sweetness, sweetness i was only joking when i said i'd like to mash every tooth in your head...

the morning news on the key to a successful freelance career: slacking off. genius.

it's a fucking glamorous life again! sheila e. reunites Prince's backup bands. woo-a-hoo.

salon rips off the modern age, as far as the MOB project is concerned. shame on you! can't you try to be original anymore?

grandaddy interview...

friendster tees! that's scary. i don't want my face on someone's boob. [gawker]

if you read the new york times today, you'll see an article about siren music festival on page e5. look at the modest mouse photo and play "where's jinners?"

word! i'm famous!

yep, sir mix-a-lot is back with BIG songs that are sure to be hits like "big johnson," "big ho," "big screen," and "poppi grande." i've got the album, do you?

Ryan Adams likes water. No, really.

I still think 28 Days Later won't be scary. I don't care how much your eyes bugged out.

I think Gawker has a crush on David Amsden. She transforms into Gusher when she's around this "hipster". C'mon, he would never make it on Hipster Bingo.

weezer's brian bell gets spacey. what's new?

was that adam green i saw on the graham avenue stop of the 'ell train?

i have this feeling that the witnesses are gonna be featured in new york magazine very soon... especially since they had a photog following them around siren festival.

russell crowe -- father? poor kid.

bad news for people who like internet porn.

from entertainment weekly:

Celebs plan ''Simpsons,'' ''King of the Hill'' cameos. Everyone from Brad Pitt to Tony Blair will appear

Brad Pitt apparently hasn't let the lackluster box-office for his ''Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas'' deter him from doing more cartoon voiceover work. He'll be leading a Texas-sized contingent of celebrities doing voice cameos next season for ''King of the Hill'' and ''The Simpsons,'' Fox announced Thursday.

Pitt will bring his pipes to ''King,'' as will Ben Stiller, Christina Applegate, Jamie Kennedy, Laura Dern, and Fred Willard. Several country stars will visit Arlen, Texas, for the Christmas episode, including Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, George Strait, Deana Carter, and Travis Tritt. Other musicians slated to appear are Kiss' Gene Simmons and Texas' own Kelly Clarkson.

Over in Springfield, the 15th (!) season of ''The Simpsons'' opens with an episode featuring the return of Glenn Close as Homer's fugitive mom. Another returning parent: Jackie Mason, as the rabbi dad of Krusty the Clown. The Halloween ''Treehouse of Horror'' episode will feature Jennifer Garner, Jerry Lewis, and boxer Oscar De La Hoya. The already much-touted trip to England (in an episode called ''The Regina Monologues'') will include appearances by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Ian McKellen, J.K. Rowling, Jane Leeves (as Grandpa Simpson's old flame) and token Yank Evan Marriott (of ''Joe Millionaire''). Also visiting Springfield will be Simon Cowell, Mr. T, ''Bowling for Columbine'' director Michael Moore, and the late Robert Stack.
