Young Wild Things and The Idiocy of iTunes

Fall Out Boy has just announced their Fall U.S arena tour. They'll kick off in Ohio this October and end in December in... a place i can't remember right now. Supporting them will be, Gym Class Heroes, Plain White T's, and Cute is What We Aim For.

Ok so, number one. Young Wild Things, what they're calling the tour....is a little bit, i don't know. Well what i mean is, half the band is almost thirty. They're hardly young. And wild....well, I'm not going to be the one to make that judgement. They said that they named it after the children's book, Where the Wild Things Are. But still, it's a bit unfitting. And then there's this whole thing with Pete WEntz where he wants to petition to get Tey Zonday to open for them. I'm gonna lie and say that i know who Tey Zonday is, but apparently he's big enough that Pete Wentz feels the need to do this. Or maybe he's just being Pete. Who knows.

On the one hand, as a fan of Fall out Boy, I'm excited for this tour. But on the other hand....why arenas, guys? Weren't you happy with smaller venues? I mean, the L.A forum was NICE. Not too big, not too small. Now, i bet, tickets are gonna be way more expensive than they were for Honda Civic Tour. And I dont' think that's exactly fair. Now is it?

Whatever, dude. They're still getting my $$$ (or my parent's $$). My little brotehr wants to go; so I'm in. As long as I don't have to choose between YWT and Arctic Monkeys at the Palladium. THAT is priority

iTunes makes me angry. A lot angry.

I LOVE the U.K iTunes store. They have Cajun Dance Party, Kate Nash, AND The Pigeon Detectives!! But the U.S store *shakes head gravely*. Sucks. ASS.

Not totally. But enough to make me wish i lived in England (which i was already wishing, but that's beside the point) and not in stupid America where we don't get to have Mumm-ra OR Reverend and the Makers. What's this about,hhmmm?

I think we should have one collective iTunes store. And they can just have all the same music but the different currencies based on where you live. Soort of the same as it is now, but the music wouldn't differ from store to store.

you know?

But then also it's like, supposedly the Kate Nash album was released in the U.S on Tuesday. And is it in the store? psh. Hell no. So you see, they're like not keeping up, or lying, or screwing up or SOMETHING. And it pisses me off. Because i want my music. Now.

Well I'm off to spend some money in the dreaded store of non-updating doom.

toodles, Aria
