clearly I am not paying much attention to work today

1. Is TYV's hiatus officially a break-up, or just, you know, them doing other things? For a really long time. JWalk's interview made me wonder.

2. Browsing the tour dates for the Foo Fighters. How bummed am I that they aren't coming anywhere near me? Pretty bummed, especially since Rise Against are one of the openers.

But look at this list of arena names: Nationwide, Sprint, Izod, HSBC, Quicken Loan Arenas. I'm pondering the likely unvoiced opinions of Tim McIlrath on playing venues sponsored by the financial giants. I mean, they refused to play a festival where the stage was an advert for the military recruiters/reserve. But they play Stubb's on a regular basis (LOL, a bunch of vegans and vegetarians walked into a BBQ joint...). How to reconcile political & philosophical differences with earning a paycheck and being visible for fans?


How many hours before I can has fangirls and Killjoys?

JWalk has been saying recently that TYV might totally do more stuff together but you know I don't trust anything that asshole says. And in this case I definitely hope he's lying.

I'm just curious, since they clearly felt strong enough about their music to, you know, leave their relatively successful band, but now radio silence. IDK, I can't take anything he says too seriously after the retconning he and Ryan did in interviews last year.
