Queens of the Stone Age are on Fire

It's got to be one of a concert goers worst nightmares - fire in the house! It'd probably take me a good 30mins to realise that they weren't joking in which time I'd probably combust in a ball of flames and smoke. Luckily Queens of the Stone Age fans are a tad smarter than me, and actually evacuated when told to do so.

Also, I probably would've thought it was just stage smoke instead of a stage light overheating and emitting smoke.
"The Tasmania Fire Service commends the concert patrons on their cooperation in vacating the premises quickly, allowing the source of the smoke to be rectified and the concert to get underway without much of a delay."

Kudos to the people of Hobart for being smart, well educated, and hopefully not too pissed off that they lost their front row spot that they probably lined up for hours to make sure they got.

Link: --- - Let's ignore the fact that they called them "metal" shall we? I mean ""Stick Wit Chu" (or whatever) sucks. I should've guessed from the spelling. Pity, I really liked Sick Sick Sick.

God, I Suck

So I've been staring at my computer screen for well over 13 hours, messing with various codes and such. When BAM. I was trying to integrate something into the forums.... (without backing up, yeah, i'm real smart!) and I lost all the posts and members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a backup from May sometime, so all threads and members since then no-longer exist. I'm sorry!!!

Trust me, I'll learn from this, and at least it was attempting something cool... which i'll have to retry once i've had some sleep (or coffee - one or the other).

Morrissey VS NME

It must really suck being recorded when you say dumb things. Sometimes I just ramble on about crap too, but the difference is when I offended nations, nobody hears/cares.

Morrissey, on the other hand, is listened to by thousands of people. So he said some statements to NME that he believed were taken out of context, and they ran the story, despite being asked not to put the controversial quotes in.

He then asked for a written apology from NME, and being the rebels they are, refused. So now he's suing their ass.

I have a soft spot for NME, but I know how the media can twist statements. So I'm not really fussed as to which way the court case goes.

You can read a better synopsis of the lawsuit here.
