Posted 3/8/2011

.

All Time Low look like they’re living it up in Europe. Watch a video update from their European trek.

.

**** “The Europeans always get the best tour packages. I’m not surprised the show is already nearly sold out. I recommend the ATL tour update video to all 14 year-old girls and middle-aged men who enjoy the antics of a bored band with a webcam.”–Warped Tour With Kyle ****

.

.

Lupe Fiasco says he considered suicide after his demo for what would become B.o.B.’s “Nothin On You” was called “wack” by an Atlantic executive.

.

–Despite rumors to the contrary, MTV has issued a statement saying that they have NOT banned Kanye West’s controversial video for “Monster” that sees West and Jay-Z prancing around decapitated females.

.

****Hopefully Kanye’s video doesn’t take away from Snooki’s airtime. Oh wait… MTV hasn’t played a music video in years. Dear “MTV”, _usic would like its M back. (I am excited to see dismembered female corpses though.)”–Underground Nightlife With Danielle ****

.

–After a decade-long relationship with Vagrant Records, Saves the Day have signed to Razor and Tie Records. They have also revealed they’ll be releasing the final installment of their trilogy of albums, entitled Daybreak.

.

**** “I’m really looking forward to see what Saves The Day does with the last part of this trilogy they’ve been working on. It’s an interesting signing but they kind of do their own thing anyways so it’s cool to see them working with a smaller label.”–Indie & Unsigned With Ben ****

****All the new press regarding Taking Back Sunday is stressing me out – I need a new song so I can stop biting my lip in anticipation. It figures the U.K. would grab them up first. I’ll just have to rely on viral videos to hear them play the new stuff.”–Warped Tour With Kyle ****
