The Return(ing) of Ashlee Simpson
All this week, The Knitting Factory and H.O.P.E. (Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment) are offering trade-ins for consumers who have purchased Ashlee Simpson’s Autobiography CD.
In exchange for bringing in the pop tart’s album to the Knitting Factory, you can receive an album by one of the following artists: Elvis Costello, The Ramones, X, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Aretha Franklin, Mr. Bungle, Ray Charles, Abe Lincoln Story, Grateful Dead, Neil Hamburger, Joni Mitchell, and Brian Wilson.
According to the H.O.P.E. Web site, they are also accepting swaps for Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Lachay, Jessica Simpson, Creed, Paris Hilton, Limp Bizkit, and any boy band albums as well.
Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming response in New York, the Knitting Factory’s weekly run is over, but the H.O.P.E. site will be updating shortly as to other locations for the exchange.
If you’re in a city outside NYC or L.A., contact HopeInFilm@aol.com for more information about an exchange.

That’s just immature…what do they even get out of it? I love Ashlee and Autobiography is better than Funeral. Also, taking shots at Creed and Limp Bizkit is like shooting fish in a bucket.
