Heartbroken. Both because I want Albert well and I cannot take any more delays on this goddamn album. And if Albert needs a new lady to ease his pain, I'll step in.
@BookishLookish: The Virgins are a much better band in the same vein of The Strokes. They have way catchier hooks, snotty lyrics, and are more fun by the bucket. Plus! No tight pants! Their album was one of my favorites for 2008. [www.thevirgins.net]
From Strokes' lead singer Julian Casablancas: "We'd like to thank all our fans for their concern and support at this time. First, let me say that Albert is in good hands and is on track to making a speedy recovery. It came to our attention during the most recent studio sessions this month, however, that Albert was increasingly looking out of fashion and had traded in his tight jeans for sweat pants. No longer a rumpled ball of expensively stylish thrift, he appeared generally disheveled in an outfit he told us was purchased at Wal-Mart. He repeated that he was tired of being cool, aloof, and writing retro-pop rock for a hyper-educated, affluent audience of "stiff" white people. We immediately knew the problem: Someone had let Albert out of his urban cage. He'd seen the outside and never wanted back in. But we never abandoned hope. And thanks to a wonderful treatment facility on the West Coast, Albert's currently resting in L.A. He'll be reprogrammed with vapid-electro-retro-shock therapy in the form of expensively branded vodka being piped into his arm while a bevy of scantily clad girls in American Apparel tassle his curly mop of hair. In a few weeks, he'll be back in New York to finish working on the record. Again...Thanks for all the support. Because, no, this isn't it.
@DahlELama: Yeah, better a small fortune as he takes a small time out to go to rehab than a small fortune and "Rock Star Dies in Pool of Own Vomit". Let's stop shaming the ones who get help before it's too late. Good luck in your recovery, Al, if that's what you're up to.
Thank you @Pearls. Exactly. The Walrus was, according to Glass Onion, Paul. So @timeoutofmind, fuckoff, and don't talk to me about The Beatles. I get stabby.
It continues to amaze and horrify me this Jon and Kate story. The worst fiction writer in the world could not have come up with an unfolding narrative such as this. Just when you think they've reached the final plateau of cheese and self-indulgence, nope, there's a new horizon. Even Jackie Collins has standards.

Of "Sad Eyes Look The Other Way" fame.
Him plus the Gag would be a duet for the ages.
But only in front of an audience of polar bears.
The human ones.

Like Paris Hilton or Dick Cheney, your sniveling hatred only makes me stronger, more powerful, more omnipotent...more FAMOUS.
BAH ha ha ha ha ha (cough cough cough).
(and with that she vanished behind a curtain of green fire).
Love,
