Bits and Pieces

A lot has been happening in musicville.

1) My Chemical Romance ended off thier two year tour with an outstanding set at New York's Madison Square Garden. Reviews and photos can be found on LiveJournal.com in the MCR TourDiary community.

2) Wentz and Simpson finally tied the knot. Congratulations to the pair.

3) Give It A Name 08 kicked off festival season here in the UK with not much of a bang. A little pop that not even Alkaline Trio could salvage. Most fingers point to the terrible sound guys. Just was not up to scratch.

4) Another teen suicide blamed on emo. Really people! Ignorance has never been so tragic.

5) The Eavis's are still battling to get tickets to Glastonbury sold out. The scene is divided on the whole Jay-Z headlining vs crappy weather debate as the reason to the fest ticket sales doing so poorly. I've never wanted to go, so I'm not sayin anything.

6) Reviews forthcoming:

Give It A Name 08
Vampire Weekend @ Electric Ballroom
Flykiller @ 229
