The People Must Have Something Good To Read On A Sunday
This week's most popular stories
Folk-punker
Frank Turner caught our attention with some comments on
illegal music downloading. Among his thoughts was the opinion "the idea that by stealing music from the internet you're somehow crusading for justice against the big bad record labels is absolute fucking bullshit... Britney Spears and David Geffen aren't going to downsize their condo's because you didn't pay for a
Fugazi album."
Fall Out Boy vocalist
Patrick Stump was arrested in Los Angeles last Tuesday being picked up for a two-year-old warrant for driving without a license. He was released on Wednesday after posting $15,000 bail.
The

new EP for October 27th titled Buttsweat and Tears. They'll support the release with a 10th Anniversary show in their hometown of Chicago and a week of west coast dates in November.
