It's official. Obama has finally selected his running mate for Vice Pres. It's a choice that may surprise pundits but will make perfect sense to the rest of us. Obama is currently considering going on the campaign trail this summer with The Flaming Lips and just might share the space bubble with Captain Coyne and descend from the UFO at festivals across the land. Now, more than ever, Obama & Coyne in '08!

A few years back, THE CRIBS played SXSW about 14 times in 3 days looking for anyone who would listen. This year, they've returned as coheadliners playing to 1000 fans singing along to every word
which didn't bother me one bit. Here's a nice & noisy bootleg of Kate Nash's boyfriend spitting out the first song of the set, "Don't You Wanna Be Relavant," (Dylan Gershon's favorite song!) at Stubbs in Austin from March 14, '08. Be relevant and catch them Fri Apr 4, in LA @ the El Rey and watch my boy go nuts!
