My American travels saw me see a fair few gigs, got to see Run Westy Run/BNLX in Minneapolis, and in LA I got to see Babymetal, The Hold Steady, Wolves in the Throne Room, Municipal Waste & The Shrine. Damn awesome holiday.

Boreman was awful. Great baker just no flair. I'm top 3 are Richard, Chetna and Martha.

This also still tickles me:

True story, I was on a flight from Los Angeles to London about a month back and got sat next to Marilyn Manson in 1st class. Nice chap for the 5 minutes I spoke to him.

I've now also got Wolves In The Throne Room during LA stay. Very excited. Haven't seen them live since Hellfest 2010.

I've landed myself tickets for The Hold Steady at the El Rey in Los Angeles whilst I'm travelling, so I'm stocked for that. Hopefully find some other decent gigs as I'm in the country for 6 weeks.

Just got hold of The Hold Steady's "Teeth Dreams" album. Been a few years since they released something and I have to say it's top notch. A real guitar driven album and probably one of their strongest albums to date.

Wait for the third kit. It's just Charlie Adams face repeated over and over in day glo colours.

If you stare close at it and move awaw, it's actually a magic eye picture of Adams snapping a player.

Watched "Snowpiercer" last night. Fantastic sci-fi film with such a Terry Gilliam vibe to it. Probaby the best acting role I've seen Chris Evans in. Definitely worth a watch.

Hellyeah should actually be called Hellno. They're fucking awful.

DC Thomson, the publisher of Bananaman, has confirmed a live action movie is in pre-production.

I can't decide if this is brilliant or if Hollywood have simply just run out of movies to make.

Looking at the companies involved, it's looking like a solid British production. I'm not sure the US would get Bananaman.

Also one of the greatest superhero themes that also sounded very sad.

I hope this isn't a hoax...

Been listening to these chaps again recently. I'd never heard of them, until they actually crashed as my mates house during their UK tour. Lovely chaps, and Devin took no offence when I drunkenly greeted him with "Holy fuck it's Ted Dansons son!".

Good stuff.

I don't normally use the button graphics. I'll drum something up this week.

I've been on a pretty big board game kick since moving to Mongolia (it's not that fun going out in -35.). I picked up Through The Ages and Arkham Horror when I headed home for Christmas. Arkham Horror, though it took me and fellow teachers some time to get a hang of the game, it was a really good game once it got going. But sadly, we constantly get hammered by the Ancient One.

Ticket To Ride is on my list as well as Luchador. Should be interesting to play Luchador as myself and a business partner are currently working through the last part of our wrestling based trading card game.

I got bored, and jazzed up the graphics for my game this afternoon. Use them if you like and enjoy.

PWInsider replaces EWRevenge.com

aka Wrestle Circle

Replaces The Battleground

For UK workers take a look at Tony Knox on Flickr although you have to go into his back catalog or grab them quick sicne he seems to have stoped having studio style pics up for long.

Yeh. Tony is a good buddy of mine and he stopped the a lot of studio shots now as they get stolen and used without his permission.

And I totally agree its just a real bitch for those of us just wanting to use 150x150 pixels of said images, before this the main problem was "who the bloody hell is this random UK wrestler"

Completely understandable. Even more amusing when you see a picture for a UK wrestler, and it just isn't that person but some complete random. I think Dirk Feelgood still has that issue in most EWR updates.

Sort of old Bloc Party meets Interpol meets Talking Heads.

We sadly got sod all here. The only "band" of note we've had since I moved here in August have been Blue. You know you're pop career is getting desperate when you're playing in UB.

I'll be back in the UK for 3 weeks and I will most definitely be attending. Living out in Mongolia now, we don't get that many festivals. So I need my summer fix.
