This morning, we were planning on recapping the second episode of Band In A Bubble, the publicity stunt/rare bit of music-related programming on MTV that’s been shunted to the Saturdays-at-8 ratings graveyard, but any drama ginned up by the show’s editors probably pales in comparison to what went down at Pier 54 last night. It’s been raining steadily, if not torrentially, in New York City for the past day or so, and the weather has taken its toll on the allegedly indestructible bubble housing the Atlanta emo-pop band Cartel. According to the stunt’s official blog, the front glass wall of the bubble (above) shattered at around 9 p.m. last night because of the weather; nobody inside was hurt, although the damage to the guys’ egos that resulted from this incident being mostly unreported is unknown at the moment.

There is something so fucking funny about that headline on your source… the band is like the third thing mentioned.
That’s the rub right there, that is seriously it.
Am I the only person who wants to punch their drummer in the face?
It was the spirit of Keith Haring coming down and smiting them for their set’s Keith-if-you-glance-quickly-with-one-eye-closed-looking decor.
Just goes to show you that when it’s raining in NYC nobody, not even emo bands in glass bubbles, can stay dry.
Shit. Even the eyes on the artwork appear to be either crying or the rain is making their makeup run….
Judas Fucking Priest.
