>>> Hey, remember the time Camel drew a map of all the indie rock bands in the world, all over Rolling Stone magazine, in some kind of “Hey wait up CIGARETTES ARE STILL COOL YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLES!” freakout? A Philadelphia judge has finally said that, yes, this was pretty much illegal. Phew. [Pitchfork]
>>> Fresh off of the very good work they did getting the word out about the Canine Fecal Death Act, the guys in The Nite Lights bring you… MACHINES! To quote the groop:

MACHINES – is a new song
MACHINES – is a poster
MACHINES – are The Nite Lights
MACHINES – is our life

This, and many other things, can be downloaded at the band’s website. Dig it. [thenitelights]
>>> And lastly, our fondest get-well-soon wishes to our pal/musician/Dirty Frank’s and Lost Bar barkeep Allen Jones. As some of you may know, Allen was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident last month, and he’s still laid up in the hospital, where his condition has stabilized, but it still pretty bad. Please join us then at The Allen Jones Affair at Philadelphia Brewing Co. on Sunday May 24, to raise money towards Allen’s medical bills, which are going to be enormous. Allen is as true-blue as they come, and we can;t have him back soon enough. [Facebook]
