So much great stuff happening this week. That Straight Lines album is phenomenal.

Heights, Horizons, Perceptions. As a naming convention, [Abstract Nouns in Plural] is annoying.

At least they didn't call their band Hey! Alaska.

Cheers for the Spineless Yes Men mention

Hoping that Mixtapes play a headline set in Kingston/London or something...

Mark Hoppus should be included in the UK round up just for fun haha

There's a new Strailght Lines album?!?!?!
Gotta get me some of that.
