Look, I can’t take this anymore readers. I’m all for pitching in and cluing you in on new tours and albums and whatnot — especially if those things are Radiohead-related — but you have to start doing things for yourself a little more in 2012, okay? I mean, how do you think we find out about this news stuff in the first place??? Exactly. We go through an A-Z listing of every band that has a Myspace Music page and report whatever their latest blog says.
Here’s a bit I found just today about that band The Twilight Sad. Turns out they’ll be hitting the road for a North American tour in early 2012 to support their forthcoming full-length… what do you mean, “what full-length”?!? Good lord. The one we already told you about! It’s called No One Can Ever Know? Remember, it’s supposed to be all dark-synth-goth like The Cure and Nine Inch Nails and shit? Ugh, did you not download the track they were offering on their website yet like we told you to like three months ago? Bands keep their Myspace pages freshly updated for a REASON, man. Don’t you bookmark these things??
Sorry, sorry. I should calm down. Well, either way, the only new info I could find on Myspace was that the album was produced by Andrew Weatherall and is coming out February 7, 2012 on FatCat. So logically, they’re hitting the road like two weeks after that. I’m sure there’ll be some more UK dates coming sooner or later. Why not practice your internetting by keeping an eye out for them yourself? Seriously, what we do isn’t hard. The only real pain in the ass is formatting the tourdates and putting those stupid bulleted hyperlinks at the bottom.
