"A Real Mosh Pit Is When You're At A Spank Rock Show And He Throws His American Apparel Sunglasses In The Crowd"


We've been following the exploits of the moshpitting, Jonas Brothers-hating YouTube sensation ADiehardFOBFan all week, but only Alex Goldberg—who likes to go by the name XxstrokesmegafanxX from time to time—was outraged enough by her profane, grouchy tirades to craft his own point-by-point response; to shield him from the kinda-dim YouTube commenting hordes, we've posted it here. Be warned: It contains even more 9/11 conspiracy theories and the day's second reference to Full House!

Aggravating/adorable mall emo band Panic! At The Disco has "just started throwing around ideas for a tour" but has told Billboard that they're "not going to do a circus show again." You fools! The creepy burlesque stilt-walkers and whatnot were the best part last year! You don't expect us old people to sit through your half-assed music without the half-naked fire-eaters, do you?

Panic! At The Disco lead singer turns 21, has "rock musos bonding session" with Adam Duritz. Between this and their cover of "The Weight" at the Reading Festival, I'm starting to think that the "Sam's Town-o-meter" on these kids' next album should be set to red alert. [Pop Eater]

Listening Station: Panic! At The Disco Gets Furtive, Furtarded

Admittedly, we've been pretty skimpy on the indie MP3s the past few days, which tends to make our overlords cringe and our cool-cred dwindle. But until something more interesting than the GREATEST BAND EVER comes along, we'll just have to make do tracks like this acoustic Panic! At The Disco cover of "Maneater." We present this as less of an endorsement, and more of a conversation piece: More »

Panic! At The Disco Look Awkward! At The Photo Shoot

And with one ill-fated photo shoot, Julie Henderson's career was over, as there's just no work available for a swimsuit model with a 33-inch bust, a 24-inch waist, and a 14-inch emo-face attached to her abdomen. More »

Liner Notes: We're All Living In The Land O' Lake

- Justin Timberlake's "My Love"—a song beloved by gays, guidos, girlfriends, as well as your gay guido girlfriend—deservedly holds on to its title as the most popular single in the country. [Billboard]
- "A corn-rowed mime, a tattooed contortionist and a dreadlocked dominatrix with a penchant for nunchucks": Welcome to the horror show that is a Panic! At The Disco concert. [MTV]
- According to documents released yesterday, the Bank Of England launched an investigation into John Lennon and Paul McCartney's financial transactions in the early '70s; hours after the announcement, Jeff Lynne released a statement saying he had once been called by Bank Of America regarding a suspicious ATM fee.

Videodrone: Panic! At The Disco Get Peevish! On The Hot Seat

We're not sure who the "winner" is in this contentious Panic! at the Disco interview—the robotic, yet ditzy interviewer or the two band members, who look like they're sitting through the most agonizing principal's-office meeting ever. What we do know is this: It is totally bad form to confess to throwing a urine-filled bottle at a band—especially when you preface said confession by stressing that the liquid in question didn't emanate from your person.
