Some pics from last night, stolen from Alexis:

Joey drunkenly STOLE the mike from someone else. There's Alia ashamed in the background.

All the rowdy children.

Chris, as ever, full of himself. “Yes, my ego really is this big.”

There’ll probably be more later.

rock is desperate

It seems that rock journalism is so desperate for rock to come back, and I mean decent rock, not bullshit like Creed or whatever new band is ripping off Rage Against the Machine (and badly), but good, aggressive, driving rock. The Hives, The White Stripes, and The Vines are all mentioned on the covers of the current Spin and Rolling Stone. This way they actually get to write about musicians, and not pretty people plucked by record companies to sing songs other people wrote who know how to do as they’re told and follow dance steps.
