In "Maybe The Concert Industry Is Just As Screwed As The Recorded-Music Biz" news, the promoter of next week's Phoenix shows by Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie is offering last-minute discounts on tickets, despite both acts selling out the same venues on their last tour stops here.

Gizmo's self-satisfied smirk when he finds himself unable to drive 55. 5.) The fact that it lead me to this infinitely more awesome/disturbing Gerard Way-meets-Gremlins 2 clip. Have I mentioned how much I love Gremlins? [YouTube; HT: Kate Richardson]
