AS IF!

On VH1 this morning, in a segment about the Arctic Monkeys, they showed the bassist and drummer (drinking a coke) being interviewed in a studio and the voiceover said something like "But the boys are keeping it real - witness the nonalcoholic drink and anti-rock star behavior." Has this person seen the Arctic Monkeys live, EVER? And the drummer had his sunglasses on - yeah, that's SO anti-rock star. :p :eyerolls:


But anyway. Big day today! Lineup announcements for Reading/Leeds (headliners at 1pm EST, the rest at 2:15) and tickets go on sale at 2:30!

And Peatbog Faeries tonight. :) albauk, am I right in guessing that you're going to stay late and work on your project? I really wish I had thought to bring mine in today. :(

Concert overload!

Leeds festival tickets just went on sale, and the servers for every ticketing site are jammed. Last year it took weeks before the festival sold out, so I really didn't feel the need to buy my ticket immediately, but then the bill came out and I got all excited and albauk brought up the good point that more people might go this year since there's no Glastonbury. I finally got through on the Ticketswitch site, put in all my information, credit card and all, hit the process payment button and got a friggin error message. Now I'm really pissed. I don't mind going back and doing it later, I just don't want to end up buying two tickets!

And then, in the midst of all this..."Pop singer Madonna announced the dates of her new "Confessions Tour" on Monday - and promised to turn the world into one big dance floor." I'm trying to see the New York date on her website, but of course, that's jammed too.
