OK, if you’re me you’re officially OK with being seen crying to hardcore sensitive films like “Crossroads“, but if you’re Zak Tell, the singer of Clawfinger, you’re hardcore, you’re so cool, you’re the best, and you’re writing stuff like this:

You’re just another soldier and you’re doing the dying
You’re a symbol of a nation so boy stop crying

That’s pretty emo. How about this, then:

I’m not afraid of competition cos I’m know that I’m best
And you haven’t got a chance to even pass my little test
Even if you wanted to you couldn’t pay the price
There ain’t no room for losers in my perfect paradise

God damn! Then, how come WTPA’s found rumours spreading, saying that Mr. Tell is:

* afraid of going outside in case it’s too cold
* crying to “Brokeback Mountain”
* collecting My Little Ponies
* a forum member of the following site

Rumours are saying that he also uses band-aids after he cuts himself while making emo food. Damn! When will this stop? We’re keeping our ear to the ground, people, and will keep you posted if anything happens. In the meantime, here’s a fresh copy of the above picture that the band’s publicist forgot to censor before we got hold of it!

In a series of startling discoveries regarding Swedish pop-band Those Dancing Days, we’ve just found out that Rebecka, the guitarist, can’t tell left from right.

When working at a secret location, her brother asked her to fill a coffee-grinder to her left with new beans. She then pointed at the right. Her brother was appalled. WTPA was shocked.

How will this affect her playing? Future gigs? Their recent nomination for Newcomer Of The Year @ P3 Guld 2008? Will she transform into Yngwie? Only time can tell. Until then, we’ll just have to see. Good luck, Those Dancing Days. Good luck.

You are so not going to believe this! Will Sheff and Travis Nelsen of Okkervil River went to Paris for a press tour. They were happily filmed for a Take Away Show when suddenly the guy who films it had a brilliant idea. He told Will and Travis that he was going to film them performing a duet with the band Beirut. The boys were clearly up for it and had no idea what was waiting for them. Unfortunately, there never was a duet. It was all about Beirut. Will and Travis had to stand in the background, playing their instruments, pretending like everything was fine. 
- If we would have known that we were just going to play on one of their songs we would have said no, Travis says.

You’ll find the video (including a laughing Travis and a bored looking Will) here.
