DIRTY POP
The Strokes are officially in the studio with Nigel Godrich, and might play some gigs by the end of the year. Is anybody else REALLY FUCKING EXCITED?!?

Strokes.com has had a bit of an update. Lotsa new photos. Look. It was like this when we were there. Somebody take us back.

Nick n Fab hold hands.

In these sad, mad, scary days, there is only one man we can all depend on. Cusack For President.

"Hey - do the Iraqis own their own oil fields yet? They're all gonna be rich over there now, right?". New(ish) Get Your War On.

Kelly O hates Christina some more.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Harry, and Johnny Cash videos.

It's NME day. Interpol on the cover. How scary is Carlos?
The NME's finally caught up with Operation Iraq Freedom (sorry, we just love saying that). They're far more concerned with clothes this week though. Is it good or bad that we have worn like 7 of the items? And we've read the Nudie Suits bit like 5 times, and we still don't understand what they're on about.
We don't like "Bandages", but "Get In Or Get Out" is a great song. Hot Hot Heat get 9 (9!!!) for their album.
Will Avril Lavigne please fuck off out of the NME?
Next week, there'll be more posters for your humble abode.

Star Spangles UK tour.

Popjustice Messageboard Ahoy! We got the first post in. We're sad like that.

Ciao for now.

IT'S OUR TIME SWEET BABY. TO BREAK ON THROUGH
So there's this girl in my politics class. Bear in mind she's sat near me for like 18 months. I've hardly ever spoken to her, and sometimes I wish I would.
But this isn't in some kinda "oh I'm too shy she never notices me" type way. I don't wanna talk to her. She seems kinda mysterious and thoughtful, and I'd rather keep her that way than discover that actually I may not be interested in her at all. I think sometimes we all need someone to admire from afar, without ever getting near. Having said that, I've seen her down ze disco a couple of times, so I'm not ruling out getting really drunk and embarassing myself in front of her.
Now girl seems kinda indie, which makes her cute and fanciable, but she also has long hair. And here lies my problem at the moment.
WHERE ARE THE SHORT HAIRED GIRLS?!?
I mean honestly, is it too much to ask? I have nothing against long hair, I've fancied some long hairs, and will no doubt continue to do so. I just want a bit of variety, that's all.

Where did all that come from?
