From the horses mouth

You know me and I love some juicy gossip - especially if it's true. MWAHAHA
Ok, so here's some true shit. Names have been omitted for their protection, and mine. ;)

#1 - "What "screamo" singer recently performed and made a very specific snide remark about the recent release of a former drinking buddy's album while performing in NY? He chose to NOT make the same remark in NJ."

#2 - "The guitarist for this up-and-coming punk/pop/rock band with a new release "shrouded in mystery" had to quickly change his clothes before a performance during their current tour because he laughed to hard he shat his pants. Yes, shat."

#3 - "Parting is such sweet sorrow. This lead singer and apparently soft-hearted frontman of a pop/punk band out of Cali. cut ties with his girlfriend this past week right before a performance and sobbed until reaching the stage."
