Even though Chris Chu didn’t win our “Best in Show” contest for May, we’re still mighty in love with the Morning Benders (pictured) frontman. And happily, the Berkeley band keeps feeding the fires of our love with a newly released video for their song “All Day Day Light” directed by Jack Ferry. We dig the big, bold aesthetic, and the kind-of-closed-captioning, because we always like some good lyrics.
Say what you want about Lady Gaga, she’s one smart and entertaining performer. And nothing’s smarter or more awesome than bringing the Scissor Sisters on board for the next leg of her Monster Ball tour, which begins next year. They’re going to tear up the U.S., for sure.
Finally, rapper T.I., recently on probation after a 10-month stretch in prison for gun charges, was arrested with his wife last night for possession of a controlled substance. The couple were released this morning on bail, but this definitely doesn’t look good for the rapper.

Rapper T.I. (pictured) has been released from his home confinement after completing ten months of a jail sentence for attempting to purchase firearms. Originally given 366 days, T.I. has been out of prison since December, when he entered a halfway house. Though the rapper will be on probation for the next three years and still has to wrap up a whole lot of community service, we’re glad to see he’s already working with Usher and Jamie Foxx.
Prefix Mag has a headline completely made of win on their website, so made of win, we’re copying and pasting it here just for you: “Because We’ve All Been Waiting, Donnie Osmond Finally Gives His Opinion Of Lady Gaga‘s ‘Telephone’ Video.” Donny Osmond hates the mini-movie, by the way. But he’s viewing it with his parent hat on as opposed to artist and musician. Says Osmond, “Unlike 20 years ago, in today’s modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access.”
Despite an 11-year gap, Belle and Sebastian are teaming up again with ATP Concerts to bring the Bowlie Festival back to Britian! They’re headlining and curating the second installation of the intimate fest. Considering that back in 1999 they had performers like Sleater-Kinney, the Flaming Lips and the Pastels, we’re pretty stoked to see the talent that will join them this December.
