Who is “Whitney”?!?!?!?!?!
2008 May 5
Music blogs across the nation are a-buzz! WHO IS WHITNEY PETTY, DEERHUNTER’S NEW GUITARIST? Is she a real person or a hot suburban stoner cheerleader guitarbot built by Bradford Cox out of his magic “blog” technology? How will she reconcile her love for Aerosmith with Deerhunter’s ambient musical autism? Does Thomas Wheatley know her since they share an alma mater? More importantly, do Thomas and Whitney realize they may have more in common than they thought? And why was she at a party four years ago with two other hippies?
Details are still coming in! The intrepid bloggers at Pitchfork got their hands on her last name so who knows what other deep dark secrets they will dig up!
I remain tight lipped and will not reveal anything! Marietta fo’ life! ‘Til the day we stop breathin’, yo!
Ha! I totally remember that party! It was at Beth Gilleland’s house.
I was wondering why a Team Clermont rep called me asking for Whitney’s last name.
I think Gordon Lamb always claims that was his house, he just wasn’t there at the time of the party. I just remember they only played one cd – Ace of Base – and so I sat in a corner and drank orange juice and judged everyone.
Nope, this definitely wasn’t my house. The closets are wrong.
Hmmm, maybe there are multiple incidents of kelli partying while wearing only an apron.
whoops.
