International Bright Young Things: A Tour Diary by Interpol
Jul 30, 2003April 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.Read More

Boy Wonder: Patrick Fugit
Jul 23, 2003It's been two years since Patrick Fugit made his unforgettable film debut, as a wide-eyed adolescent rock journalist in Almost Famous. Now the actor, who turns 20 this month, has his innocence tested in White Oleander (opening October 11), in which he plays the devoted boyfriend of the film's heroine, a victim of troubled foster homes, played by Alison Lohman. Fugit talked with Spin from the comfort of his tricked-out bachelor pad in Salt Lake City (a.k.a. his parents' basement).Read More

Bands to Watch: The Distillers
Jul 23, 2003Distillers frontwoman Brody Armstrong has a punk-rock-luminary husband, a history of drug abuse, and a honey-on-gravel rasp that's eerily reminiscent of a certain grunge diva. Still, any comparisons to Ms. Love are curtly dismissed. "Courtney who?" the Australia-bred Los Angeles resident scoffs. "A lot of artists have inspired me: Wendy O. Williams, Poly Styrene, definitely Debbie Harry, and Siouxsie Sioux."Read More

Beautiful Stranger: Shannyn Sossamon
Jul 23, 2003The 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.Read More
