Currently my Gmail account is at 97% full–I know that seems humanly impossible, but it’s true.

So I’m taking some time this weekend to go through and delete some of the old stuff I have on the account, and I came across some things that I thought some of you might enjoy.

Check it out:

Sept 24, 2004: Scans of a Sondre Lerche interview in Interview magazine.

October 11, 2004: An image of Julian Casablancas taken at the Ramones Tribute gig at Irving Plaza.

October 17, 2004: email announcing the relaunch of TheModernAge.org proper:

Laura Slash Temp NO MORE!!

I’m please to announce the return of The Modern Age to the main
directory!

I started redesigning the site back in September, but it’s took me
this long to actually implement the new design.

Here’s what’s changed about the site:

I coded the new site entirely in XHTML and now I use fancy shmantzy
Style Sheets.

I’ve enabled the COMMENT function for each post. Please don’t make me
regret it!

I’ve included an “OLD” link in the navigation. It’s a link to the old
school TMA archives. Re-read your favorite entries from 2001-2003.

I know it looks crappy in Netscape and Safari…but unless you can
tell me how to fix it, don’t bitch about it. Use IE.

I hope you enjoy it!

October 20, 2004: A horrible photo of Britney Spears taken during a video shoot.

October 24, 2004: Screenshots of a former incarnation of TheModernAge.org

September 6, 2004: A photo of Britney Spears with her adorable dog.

December 12, 2005: File attachment of the then new Kate Moss commercial for Virgin Mobile. (This was right after those photos of her snorting coke got her in trouble, and dropped, from a few campaigns.)

Ok, so sometimes I’m a bit slow to catch on the things happening on the internets, but I semi-try to keep informed… here are some new music videos that have sprung up in the last week from some notable people who at one time could have been described as “hot messes” or “trainwrecks” but have seem to cleaned up their acts for the time being:

LILY ALLEN

Ultragrrrl linked to a video of Lily Allen’s new song “The Fear.” I think Lily looks AMAZING. With her jet black hair hanging long, and the bangs going across her face, I think she looks like a white Gogo from Kill Bill walking through a Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers TV commercial. It was directed by Nez.

BRITNEY SPEARS
And of course the biggest turnaround of the week goes to Miss Britney Spears, who this time last year was fighting child abuse charges and generally falling into a downward spiral. But 2008 has been a bit kinder to Ms. Spears and has been hailed as the year of the “Britney Comeback.”

If the new video for her song “Circus” is any indication, Britney is back, biotch! Ok, so she was a bit dodgy performing “Womanizer” and “Circus” on GMA, but she looks ridiculously hot in the video… but sadly she doesn’t seem to have gotten her once famous dance chops in order… Really, what is a Britney Spears video without a giant dance sequence? Oh well… keep it coming girl!

Now if we could only get Amy Winehouse in order…

To continue the boob-themed month… Britney Spear’s Breasts via Saranwarp.

Anyone else feel like Bowlmor after reading about the resurgence of bowling in the US?

Every time I pass the Remote Lounge I ask, “hey- isn’t that that place with the video cameras?” Then I walk away.

BTW locals- The Faint @ Bowery is sold out. If you don’t have tickets, try the N6 show. Also, let it be known that The Faint, Clinic, and …Trail of Dead are teaming up next month for the NME Awards show.

All my friend keep emailing me from London and depressing me, making me wish I was there to. YOU ARE ALL BASTARDS! (Y’all need digicams, I swear to god) But look how nice I am to you, I give you the Rules of the Tube via Vodkabird.

We love photologs… especially ones that have recent pictures of the Manneken-Pis. Too bad he’s not wearing the Elvis suit.

Why aren’t you buying me stuff?
