Weekend reading: Articles on Lil Wayne, Moby, Britney

Ah, yes, I know you, you’re the one who has nothing better to do this weekend than read articles about music off the Internet.

Well, here are a few that caught my eye in the past week or so. Click on the publication name to link to the article; for some sites, you may have to register, which is worth the time.

The market value of Moby’s soul is $41, we find out in Spin. Oh, and Moby “accidentally” took crystal meth once. Sure, Moby. Sure.

Hey, the gender-bending frontman for buzz band Tokio Hotel has a very Germanic name, we find out in the New York Times. It’s Bill Kaulitz. Nice name, Kaulitz.

K.D. Lang is “more panda bear than mink,” which is New York Magazine’s euphemistic way of saying the singer has gotten fat, apparently.

The Oscar-nominated singers from “Once,” Glen Hansard, 37, and Marketa Irglova, 19, are the Bogart and Bacall of indie rock cinema, because they made googly eyes at each other onscreen, and now they hook up offscreen, the Washington Post divulges.

Rolling Stone put up its very good article on Britney Spears’ continued collapse. Compellingly depressing stuff, that.

Lil Wayne is like Chuck Norris drunk on cough syrup, is the takeaway I get from Blender. That, and the dude really shouldn’t be given firearms.
