We're going to admit that we'd be inclined to give Patrick Wolf a cheer even we'd never heard of his material. Why? The guy called 2007 pop darling (and Perez Hilton poster child) Mika a twat back in July - and it was about time somebody spoke for those sick of having "Grace Kelly" shoved down their throats. Sure, it was a move awfully Lily Allen-esque - he sent out a myspace bulletin blasting Mika......

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth.

As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers. We're willing to subscribe with that theory. April looks to be a bit soggy for us in the beginning, especially considering the current seven day forecast.

Other than that and the iPod DJ Night at River Gods (you can't do all Al Green) we're ignoring the occurance of Wednesday.

It has come to our attention that tickets to the show from SNL musical guest, MySpace phenom, and overall tart, Lily Allen have become a bit hard to come by for her Boston appearance. So we're giving away a pair. She's in town at the last stop on her MTV Discover and Download tour on February 18. The show is at Axis on a Sunday night - but no bother, Monday is President's Day......

Sunday. Usually, a quiet, contemplative day in the Blogosphere. But not here in the Ist-a-Verse. Nonono! Just look below and see all of the wild and crazy stuff our staffs are up to. In Austin, bands are beginning to confirm for SXSW and the rumor mill is up and running. Good thing, too, because we all know how much Austinites love live performances. Austin also found itself in the national spotlight, with Longhorn Legend......
