Why read this blog when you can read…

I troll the Internets looking for good articles about pop music. Here are some you might want to read from the past week or so:

Amy Winehouse might want to quit with the crack or, at the very least, with the smoking it on video, the New York Times says.

Jon Brion almost broke up with mellotrons, but now they cuddle all the time, he tells the Onion.

Stephin Merritt wants to write a jillion musicals, but probably won’t, he tells the Los Angeles Times.

Kate Nash is a clutz, the New Yorker says.
