Oh hell yeah! Mylo tour dates for the US! Pencil me in for the NYC date on Feb. 11th. Jeezy Creezy. I am jump-up-and-down happy right now. Pleasepleaseplease book a DC date too. Thanks to the ever present Chromewaves for the heads up.

Tour news from Mylo is about the only thing that can take top billing over this rant statement from the Mighty Mozzer about Mike Joyce. So how much would a Smiths reunion cost? Quoth the Mozzer neverever:

In legal fees alone, Joyce has cost me 600 thousand pounds - this is quite apart from any payments made to him, and is quite apart from any money seized by him. In total, Joyce has cost me 1 million, 515 thousand pounds. This is an approximate figure - it could even be higher.

Moz goes on to explain that Joyce is also holding back money from Andy Rourke, Johnny Marr, John Porter, Stephen Street, Grant Showbiz and Steve Lillywhite.

The Joyce action is continuous. Because of his Default Judgment he continues to take my royalties, and the royalties of others mentioned above, from Warner Music - consequently I have not received record royalties since 2001.

Since 2001, the money claimed by Joyce is charged, to me, at 100 pounds a day in interest.

Fascinating stuff.

Only slightly, only slightly less fascinating, Scott Stapp v. 311.

Ah, corporate synergy.

Yes, they get some cool points for this, but u2 still suck.

Airline security is a waste of cash. I read somewhere (I forget where) that the government spends a little over $9 in security for each airline passenger, but only 1 cent for each person that rides public transportation.

Maybe we should start calling JJ Redick The Mamba. Duke is now 7-0 in the ACC/Big 10 challenge. Not much of a challenge is it? It must have pained Pat Forde to write something positive about Coach K and the Dookies. I have only seen brief glimpses of the team so far this year, so I will write something on them once I get a gander.

Welcome to the NBA Kendrick Perkins. Big Perk recorded career highs in points (12), total rebounds(19), offensive rebounds (8), assists (4) and minutes (27:43) in a win over the Sixers last night. It was the second highest rebound total by a Celtic in five years. It's about time something positive happened to my beloved C's. Tony Allen may be back tomorrow against Chicago, so hopefully this be the start of a trend. I DVR'ed the game last night and can't wait to watch it.

Can you believe this is still going on?
