Britney Spears Never Actually Goes Clubbing, Has Her Own Club At Home
Despite always singing about going to the club, Britney Spears said in an interview with PopJustice, "I never go to the club. But I think it's fun to sing about it. And I have my own mini-club at my house." That mini-club is unnamed, but it plays a lot of music and has a glitterball, catering and lights. "It's the whole set-up," said Spears. (PopJustice)

 

Neutral Milk Hotel Boxset to Drop November 22
Jeff Mangum, the enigmatic singer-songwriter behind indie legends Neutral Milk Hotel, has been up to a lot (well, for his pace) lately. Today he announced the upcoming release of an expansive, vinyl-only boxset that will include, among other things, both of the collective's LPs, unreleased songs, and a pair of 24" x 24" posters. In other news, Mangum just launched a spiffy new Neutral Milk Hotel website at walkingwallofwords.com. (Pitchfork)
