MUSIC News: Jessica and The Pink Spiders

Last Tuesday Jessica Simpson appeared, raspy voice and all, on the newly revamped "The View" to promote her album, Public Affair. Circulating the rags is the rumor that she and Ashlee are distancing themselves from their father Joe. After a slip up on the show, where she said:

“My mom helps me with the fashion. My dad just tries to control me and my sister. Woops. That was the wrong choice of words. Dad I love you.”

you can either assume they're right or that Jess is just mooching off of free publicity. Speaking of moochers, The Pink Spiders, in the August issue of the Rolling Stone, were knocking Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco, saying their music was “pseudo intellectual, melodramatic, fake-poetic shit” with “paragraph long song titles. They make kids feel smart, but we make kids feel good.” It’s truly ballsy of them to begin their careers insulting two of the most popular bands of 2006. Check out their music at www.thepinkspiders.com/ to see if you should put your money where their pocket is or blast a DJ remix of Fall Out at the Disco to drown them out.
