Gerard Vs. Bear “Revealed”: We Think Somebody’s Funning With Us

As some of you know, Gerard vs. Bear is an anonymously written music blog that enjoys taking the piss out of other music blogs (if that sentence hasn’t already driven you away, you can read more about this admittedly inside-baseball sorta-phenom here). Anyway, a tipster claims that Gerard accidentally unmasked him/herself yesterday with a post marked “IDENTITIES!”; supposedly, the entry went up for an hour yesterday, and it linked to this MySpace page as the source of Gerard’s identity. Which would mean, as we long suspected, that Gerard is a 26-year-old Hold Steady fan from Chicago.

Anyway, we’re pretty sure this is someone just pulling our leg, because even though we don’t know who Gerard is (though we have our suspicions), we do know he/she is incapable of making 133 friends.
