In the new issue of SPIN, there is a feature article in which ten celebrities are asked to create an online personal ad for Nerve.com just to see what kind of responses the ads would get. Stephen Malkmus was one of the celebrities who participated in this experiment, and here is his ad, along with a few responses.
Musician
Portland, Oregon
Profile nickname: stevie_stevie
age: 35
I am interested in: dating
Last great book I read: Independent People by Haldor Laxness
Favorite on-screen sex scene: Anything in Todd Solondz's Happiness
Celebrity I most resemble: Richard Ashcroft
Best (or worst) lie I ever told: "You're so normal."
Music that puts me in the mood: "TV Party," Black Flag
I can't live without: Hormones, ice cream, wicker basket for bread, tonic water, stereo
In my bedroom you'll find: bed, dresser, computer, homework
Why you should get to know me: I've got so much to give you

I Googled Richard Ashcroft and saw what he looked like. You don't look like him at al. He seems like a cheeseball.

Hot damn! I like your adorable haircut! But I'm a little nervous about your occupation. Most people who say they're musicians actually work at Kinko's and live in someone's basement.

I wanted to tell you that you are the first person I have seen that had Happiness as their favorite sex scene! P.S.: Is that Steven with a "V" or Stephen with a "P-H"? I'm wary of the "V" kind. Please advise.
Malkmus Says: Props to these ladies for even responding at all. Sure, I'd date you all, but Elimidate style, so I can do it all in one night and on national TV. You can tell a lot about a person by how they act on national TV.
