  1. I don't consider myself much of a Brand New fan either Hickey but they are really quite popular. Their last tour through the Bay Area they played (and maybe sold out) a 7,000 person venue. Again, I don't think it's anything more than a dick move but it's just kind of stupid for a band who's sort of in the same scene to do.

  2. I don't see the big deal. Since the Deja Entendu cover had a picture of an astronaut, bands can't use astronauts on their artwork anymore? It's not like they ripped off Eddie from the Iron Maiden covers or some iconic figure. It's an astronaut. I'm sure if people look hard enough there is at least one simlar cover that came way before Brand New did it.

    Uh oh! Brand New ripped off a lot of these bands...oh shit:

    The point isn't that it's an astronaut, it's an astronaut standing in a field. That's a lot different than say, anywhere else in the world. And I'm not saying these guys should be sued just that it's kind of a dumb move when you consider how recent and well known the Brand New cover is. I don't even consider myself a big fan of the band and that was the first thing I thought of when I looked at the cover.

  3. True story, they were talking to the protesters outside of the Obama town hall on NPR and one guys said, "I don't want socialism. If I wanted socialism I'd go back to pre world war two Germany. Because you know who liked socialism? Hitler".

    There were so many holes in that statement I think it officially killed three historians and a nuclear physicist.
