Monday, August 23rd, 2010
I feel bad for Australia and New Zealand.

Friday, May 28th, 2010
Stupid Bono with his stupid back surgery and his...and his stupid...face.
I lash out only because since Bono had his back problem, that led to U2 postponing their North American tour. By doing so, that meant the band that would open for U2 wouldn't play either. Which is why Interpol is no longer touring North America this summer.
The band posted a statement at their website describing the predicament… Read More
