Pitchfork: New Edie Sedgwick LP On the Way

This is a bit confusing, so please bear with us. Justin Moyer, member of the dizzying art-punk trio SuperSystem (formerly known as El Guapo), has assumed the identity of his side project-- this procedure entails slipping on a zebra-print dress and high heels, naming himself after a long-departed Warhol starlet, and singing psuedo-intellectual songs about movie stars. This is possibly some sort of mental breakdown, but it's also, you know, Art.

Please say hello to Edie Sedgwick. Again. "Edie Sedgwick is the transgendered reincarnation of a vacuous Warhol Superstar who died of a barbiturate overdose in 1971," his/her website patiently explains. "Edie was reborn at the dawn of the New Millenium to save the world by singing about celebrities. That's right...armed with only an iPod, she travels the nightclubs of this land called America singing songs that honor the likes of Julia Roberts, Robert Downey, Jr., and, of course, Martin Sheen."

So. Edie Sedgwick: actual deceased person. Edie Sedgwick: actual SuperSystem side project. Are they the same person? Probably not. But the latter's new disc, Her love is real...but she is not, will see its release on DeSoto Records on March 21, and its tracks include:

01 Martin Sheen
02 Christian Slater
03 Sigourney Weaver
04 Robert Downey, Jr.
05 Lucy Liu
06 Molly Ringwald
07 Michael J. Fox
08 Arnold Schwarzenegger II
09 Tim Robbins
10 Harrison Ford
11 Tom Hanks II
12 Sally Field
13 Arnold Schwarzenegger I
14 Haley Joel Osment

But perhaps this is the sort of thing best appreciated live, in which case these tour dates might prove useful:

02-19 Washington, DC - Warehouse Next Door
03-03 Philadelphia, PA - Khyber
03-04 New York, NY - Knitting Factory
03-05 Brooklyn, NY - North Six
03-06 Cambridge, MA - T.T. the Bear's
