After the Daily Mail in the UK suggested that a girl killed herself because she was a fan of My Chemical Romance, those industrious fans did a peaceful protest outside of the DM’s offices AND set up ThankYouMCR.net, a site dedicated to commemorating the positive influence MCR has had on it’s fans. Warners should submit the positive influence MCR has had on it’s label’s finances.

Being basically a midget, I was unable to get to the front of the stage at Mercury Lounge last night to take pictures of Cursive (not that the video of Tim doing Karaoke wasn’t enough to quench your thirst), but this dude got amazing shots that are worth checking out.

BrooklynVegan has info on the Sigur Ros ‘ MOMA show. I definitely would LOVE to see that. Lastnight I had a dream that Ryan McGuinleyface and I fell in love. It was weird. I don’t even remember what he looked like in my dream, but I think he looked like Devandra.

A couple weeks ago I went to some NYLON party with Brad Walsh and Christian Siriano. It got really crowded so we left and on our way out we ran into Brad’s friend (and my new pal) Melissa Beck. Melissa insisted we wait for her husband to pick us up to drive two blocks cause he was driving a Benz. It was pretty amazing. Her husband is Justin Beck from Glassjaw, but I know him as Justin from MerchDirect. We went to the Maritime Hotel and I had some champagne and he drank soda and we gossiped about the music industry and false ideas. It was one of the most refreshing conversations I’ve had in a long time. It was pretty much exactly like this.

My Bloody Valentine are going on tour! They’re hitting NYC (twice), Toronto, Chicago, SF, and LA (twice). Thank God.

But even better news for me is that Sigur Ros are going on tour and hitting NYC!!!! Once I had this crazy surgery to remove a growth from my jaw and was under a lot of meds and took Vikes and drank white wine while at a Sigur Ros show with my friend Gideon and we kept on going “We feel like pillows!!!!!” It was awesome.

More tickets for All Tomorrow’s Parties are now on sale. I hate to say this, but the line-up, while great, is more like All Yesterday’s Partiees.

Jinners has the South Street Sea Port line up posted on her blog. Wire will be a fun one!

Apparently The Police will play their last ever show in a benefit to raise money for planting trees. Or so one would like to believe… it appears as if Police’s frontman, Sting, has been really bad about benefiting the charities he is supposed to help.

Perez has a new Kylie remix up.
