Don’t be fooled by imitations. This official mask is fabricated directly from Marilyn Manson’s actual face casting!
Only $24.95 at monstermakers.com.
Just like that Self song!
(via Selfies).
Here’s 8th grader Brian Hugh Warner at Heritage Christian School in 1983.
I don’t know why I ended up writing about Marilyn Manson today. I intended to review last night’s Tilly & The Wall/Now It’s Overhead/Rilo Kiley show (photos). The kid puking against the wall during “Portions For Foxes” distracted me from staring at Jenny Lewis; otherwise, the show was lots of fun. Sorry Laura for making you miss Tilly‘s set. We’ll get you to some other tapdance show real soon!
UPDATE: A few cool Self covers…
(Suzanne Vega)
(Liz Phair)
(Portishead)
Of course the greatest Self cover and possibly my favorite cover ever is the band’s version of “What A Fool Believes” performed exclusively on toy instruments. I don’t have it to share at the moment. Check out the album Gismodgery.
Wow … this post was all over the place. Sorry, it’s Friday.

Does it come with implants?
then how come it looks nothing like him?
hilary duff mask coming soon
I completely missed the vomit at Rilo Kiley… but I find myself, 12 hours later, still pondering the random tap-dancing.

I have that year book…
I think that I like you best when you are all over the place.
You know Self! Hardly anyone does! I am so impressed that my obsessive reading of Stereogum will now turn into a near worshipping of it.
You guys are so nice! Hugs to everyone.
I am not surprised, he has to do something to make money. I also hear reported in the popular that he is getting married in Berlin next week. Any word on that?
that self doobie brothers cover is the shit. i saw them perform at CMJ 99 and they KILLED it – one of the best live shows i’ve been to (openers were tim and charlote from ash playing acoustic, and the underrated blinker the star).
oh my GOD! stereogum, you rock! i don’t know anyone else you likes self!!! finally, some props for matt mahaffey! you better recognize, people!
“who” likes self, but whatever.
long live self!!! (sorry, i’m excited!)
have a great weekend, everybody (who likes self)!
omg you like self?!?!
i read stereogum religiously and have never commented, but this is too much! haha look at all the selfies coming out of the woodwork for this post. you’re awesome, scott!
i’m sorta surprised everybody is shocked to hear someone talk about self. i was under the impression that BREAKFAST WITH GIRLS was a marginally big album. i was in the midst of a huge self phase around the time gizmodgery came out, and i purchased a copy from the website. a couple years later, even though i loved it, i sold it off for 35 bucks, confident that spongebath would be rereleasing it soon enough. sadly, infuriartingly, they haven’t yet.
Self = best band ever. Really. Covers aren’t representative of this. You might as well post “Trunk Fulla Amps” just for fun – everyone likes that.
Thanx for the Self downloads. I’m completely in love with them now.
this is so strange because although i’ve been a self fan for a few years now, i just started listening to them again last weekend because i met another self fan who burned me his copy of gizmodgery.
I LOVE Self!!!
It’s so great to find other people that do, too! We may be scattered and far between, but we’re there. Matt Mahaffey is a genius!
Oh, and these great Self tunes are especially refreshing considering the bland, mechanic pop by Lindsay Lohan presented above.
Cheers, Stereogum, for posting these awesome Self tracks!
that doobie brothers cover is one of my favorite covers too. the toy instruments are just so peppy.
another vote for self… gizmodgery is fav of mine also, for a real fun song check out “Titanic”, the retelling of the movie set to “Gigantic”.
“A Big Big Boat”

Is it me or does anyone else think that young Manson looks a tad like Haley Joel Osment in “The Sixth Sense”? Wonder if Manson saw dead people as a young en?!
Matt Mahaffey, you are an amazing talent and an extraordinary genius. I hope you never stop making music.
I just went here

And after 60 seconds of that chicks voice I had to turn it off. It wasn’t bad at first then she hit a horrible note sining the word “titanic”, then did it over and over again.
check out HIM at http://www.heartagram.com
If you think they suck then we’re even.
All in good fun-

MM is pretty much a genuis and people sterotype him because of his look and the funny thing is that must of those people who sterotype him are afraid too be themselves and worry about what people might of them and MM is being himself and he isn’t afraid
This is why people should stop bulling people because these little nerds become sico ghothic killerz
