  • He needs to go back to school or move back in with his parents and sit down and think about things. He shouldn’t play music. He shouldn’t tour.
  • Black Lips singer Jared Swilley • On fellow indie rocker Nathan Williams, a.k.a. Wavves. Wavves, who is currently earning much buzz for his noise-drenched indie rock, had a huge drug-fueled on-stage meltdown at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain – his first European show.

Tech: Missing: One MS prototype phone. Rips off Apple heavily.

  • Windows Mobile 6.5! Stolen! Egads! Sol Trujillo, the CEO of Australian mobile phone company Telstar, was given a phone with the top-secret Microsoft mobile OS on it. He gave that to an executive. And that executive got pick-pocketed during the conference he was at. So some five-fingered dude in Barcelona gets to exclusively see how MS yet again fails at besting Apple at something. Good for them! source
