Falling (WAY) Down

Wow. NYLON is really starting to embarrass me, and Scarlett Johansson is making even more of a laughing stock of herself. What does Tom Waits have to say about her musical blasphemy??!



She's hot. Yes. She's a mediocre actress. Okay. But for the love of Tom Waits' toasted lungs, PLEASE PUT DOWN THE MIC!! I mean, I know she is comfortable in front of the camera, but did we really need THREE (un, deux&trois) videos for the single off "her" new album. And now a magazine cover with her welding a guitar!! At least, she is doing what she knows how to do best-- Looking sorta sexy sorta straddling it, rather than sorta playing the thing.

As for the the other bands on the cover:
Courtney Love-FREAK SHOW
Beth Ditto- LOVE The Gossip. Don't LIVE the lifestyle of The Gossip.
Kim Gordon- Free Kitten just released a new album after 10 years. Didja hear??!
Spiritualized- The new album is pretty good. Sounds like everything else he's done. I'll always love Jason Spaceman.
Duffy, Santogold- Don't Care, Don't Care
The Virgins- Listening to them is as boring as being one.
The Breeders- New album sorta sucks sadly, but check 'em out on tour with Lincoln Hawk!
We Are Scientists- I like these guys sometimes.
Ladytron and the Vines- Welcome back from 2001.
Portishead- Welcome back from 1991. Okay, 1997.
Missy and Lil Mama- Nylon is an equal opportunity music reviewer.
