It's undoubtedly the case that she's just listed someone else's, probably her older brother's, record collection. Like you saym, Pere Ubu? As if. Believable from someone with any talent but not from a powder puff.

This is somewhat tenuously connected to our discussion. Okay, so over the weekend, I spotted a picture of one of a current teen pop sensation (no, not Lady Gaga) wearing a t-shirt with the VOID insignia on it (Void, for those of you who don't know, were a crucial D.C. hardcore band in the early 90s). I was deeply incredulous that a whistleheaded pop irritant like _____ dared sully Void's good name with her vileness. Upon sharing this revelation with a colleague this morning, he answered: "Dude, check out her MySpace page ... she likes good music." I find it imposible to believe that a child capable of making such awful pop would be fan of decent music, but check out her list of "influences" and see if you can guess who I'm talking about:
