Melissa — I LOVE that soundtrack! That Garbage song is really, really sexy. Um, it is. Really. And I have a weakness for the Cardigans, too, and I LOVE that Mundy song — “To You I Bestow.” The Des’ree song is gorgeous, too. And I love that Butthole Surfers song, too. And the name Butthole Surfers. WhatEVer, that whole fucking album is good, and Baz Luhrmann’s version of the movie was genius, too.

Dude, the nineties kinda ruled. Remember Bill Clinton? *ssssiiigh.*

I thought of another goody for ya, Beeters: How Soon is Now by the Smiths. Everyone’s heard it like a billion times, but you never know who sings it.

And wow, it’s been like eleven years since that Romeo + Juliet soundtrack came out, but I still listen to it all the time. That’s how I got into Radiohead.

Oh, the Refreshments? They did the King of the Hill theme, right?

I’d like to just step in and say that the Romeo + Juliet and Empire Records soundtracks both pretty much clear up whatever lingering 90s nostalgia I had. And don’t forget anything by the Cranberries. Or “Wonderwall,” that’s pretty iconic too. OK, I’m done.

Presumably, we read beet-beet not because she’s rehashing content found elsewhere, but because of her unique take (her acerbic shiny-steel wit wrapped in, dare I say it, an intelligent and attractive woman) on what she sees. We wouldn’t want her to just make stuff up, then she’d be the Onion.

Therefore, while we like to read about celebs, and her views on them; many of us like to also hear about her life in general and her cute dog. Her spin on things is the important content.

Also, I don’t think she’s advertising here. She was just stating where she saw this stuff so others could/might go check it out.

Chill, Winston. Chill.

> Donkey, the nip slips are gone, move on, move on.

Lol, I don’t care about the nip slips you perv.

Where are all the stories that other celeb sites are posting about? Instead all we get lately are stories about Beet’s dog or barely disguised advertisements. Enough about Beet’s period or bowel movements. More celebs.

The whole Refreshments album is solid from ‘96. Think it’s called “bigger, buzzy, fresh and fuzzy” or something.

It’s way to soon to get naustalgic over these songs. Donkey, the nip slips are gone, move on, move on. What a bitter critter.

Every party needs a pooper and that’s why we invited him.
