The Gossip Cancel U.S. Tour

So much for The Gossip and The Long Blondes touring the States together! It was just announced that The Gossip will be canceling their upcoming tour due to the delay of their love album release.

There are no dates as of yet that have been rescheduled nor any plans to reschedule at this point. Ugh.

Carling Weekend - Reading and Leeds Day 1

I've never been to Reading or Leeds but I must make sure that I head over there soon. So far the action is as follows:

Paramore might be missing their set
The Gossip almost missed their set but made it
Beth Ditto gave the audience a little more then they wanted to see when she showed off her hot black underwear
Interpol fucking killed it
Everyone flocked to see Albert Hammond Jr
Kate Nash watched Gallows
CSS threw milk at the crowd
Razorlight played the most stellar fucking set ever and Johnny Borrell told the crowd "you're all legends"

Since I'm not there you should check NME.com for the latest happenings and photos.

For now, here is the Razorlight set list:

'In The Morning'
'Hold On'
'Golden Touch'
'Back To The Start'
'(Don't Go Back To) Dalston'
'Fall To Pieces'
'Pop Song 2006'
Can't stop This Feeling I've Got'
'Los Angeles Waltz'
'Leave Me Alone'
'Rock N Roll Lies'
'V.I.C.E.'
'America'
'Rip It Up'
'Who Needs Love'
'In The City'
'Fall, Fall, Fall'
'Funeral Blues'
'Stumble And Fall'
'Somewhere Else'

Shit...Rip It Up? Rock N Roll Lies? They pulled out some oldies for this gig...

Beth Ditto Does NME

Beth Ditto of The Gossip has never been ashamed of the way she looks. Case in point, her strip-capade at SXSW when she sweatily jumped around in only a bra and panties much to the audience's surprise.

This time around though Beth really pushes it with her nude self gracing the cover of NME. Now, more power to you Beth but PLEASE we don't want to see you naked anymore. In fact, no more naked celebrities on NME. Thanks.

Thoughts?
