International Bright Young Things: A Tour Diary by Interpol
April 4: Dortmund, Germany
Paul: After tonight’s gig at Visions Party, the place turned into a club night. Someone gave us drink cards with 30 little circles, each corresponding to a euro. I ordered three Jägermeisters, a beer, and a gin and tonic. Despite my best attempts, I never got to 30. I went back to the hotel for a while but returned around 3:30 a.m. to see if anyone was still there. I went around the back and startled a couple having sex on a car. They were frantically pulling their pants up before I could apologize. I felt bad about it. I hope that the intrusion didn’t irreparably kill the mood.

TRIVIAL PURSUITS
That collection of unreleased Starland Vocal Band tracks doesn't have to be the only useless information you save onto your iPod: Info freaks have written a program that lets you transfer up to 900 film entries from the Internet Movie Database (the software can be found at www.magma.ca/ ~sheppard/IMDb/iPod.html). Meanwhile, Roster2iPod (at soundsgoodradio.net/py4ipod) lets you copy the current stats of any Major League Baseball team directly onto the device, turning your MP3 player into one expensive baseball card.

Beautiful Stranger: Shannyn Sossamon
The first five minutes of The Rules of Attraction, a
blissfully unrepentant look at collegiate hedonism from Pulp
Fiction screenwriter Roger Avary, are a barrage of twisted
energy: James Van Der Beek is dealing drugs and seducing nubile
freshmen; Jessica Biel is downing Jack Daniel's and taking on an
entire football team; and a gorgeous loser played by Shannyn
Sossamon is getting raped and vomited on by a townie while an
accomplice videotapes it all. It's a scene that's cruel and
unnerving--and one that Sossamon wanted to make.
