Art Brut: The Blog

Eddie Argos wins the award for most-blogging musician. After donating his typing and wit duties to the Guardian earlier this summer, he's now part of the NME Rock 'n Roll Riot USA Tour blog, which also features the daily(ish) musings from tourmates 1990s, The Hold Steady and hopefully their US tour support, LA-locals The Blood Arm.

Here's a sneak peek of what's been going on so far in the words of Mister Argos...
