God, I'm undermotivated.

From Radar magazine: ACTRESS WINONA RYDER HAS CAST A CURATORIAL EYE on a string of indie-rock up-and-comers since the early days of grunge. Last month the amateur talent scout, 31, gave her latest coital thumbs-up to Conor Oberst, the 22-year-old frontman of folk-punk outfit Bright Eyes. We wanted to be among the first to congratulate Oberst on his coming success. But we urge him to beware the Ryder Curse: In addition to his favorite ironic T-shirt, she's liable to walk off with his career. In fact, the majority of artists from "Easy" Ryder's collection of stolen hearts now carry the nice price stickers. Will Oberst be a Dave Grohl, or a Dave Pirner? Can't say we didn't warn him:

1989: Paul Westerberg, the Replacements
1994: Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum
1997: Evan Dando, the Lemonheads
1997: Jay Kay, Jamiroquai
1997: Stephan Jenkins, Third Eye Blind
1997: Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
2000: Beck
2001: Ryan Adams
