Ned's Atomic Dustbin are the latest bygone band to announce a reunion, with a single show at London's Astoria this Dec. 6. Much as I love their double-bassed assault, aren't we running out of bands that can reunite during this decade? As far as I can see, the list is composed of The Smiths, Pavement, Uncle Tupelo, and... uh... I mean, I guess Milli Vanilli can't really count... [NME]

Sure, these are much preferable to pre-rolls (those ads that air before videos and serve as little more than an annoying obstacle to content) but I have to wonder if part of those "click-throughs" were actually people clicking on the ads in hopes that they would stop messing up the view. Looks like the linked Telegraph story was missing a "who"; 75% of the people who clicked watched the whole advertisement they were led to. This, my friends, is why the world needs more copyeditors.
