Wait Until Marilyn Manson Sees This!

We really haven't been covering the feud between Mr. Manson and Mr. Way all we really know is that Marylin said Gerard and his boys were a cheap knock off of himself. Then Gerard said they don't care about criticism from artists like Marilyn, they only care what Elvis Costello thinks (Funny we would have thought the Fratellis would care more what Mr. Costello thought). Anyway it's been back and forth between the two but i have a feeling this is the end for Mr. Way. Gander On for the funniest thing you've seen this year.

First Person to put the O Face Audio from Office Space to this wins mystery prize!

Gander On!

The Fratellis, Worried About Their Self-Respect?

The Fratellis have turned down a chance to record the official song for David Beckham's first game as an LA Galaxy player.

The Scots, who were asked to re-record The Beatles' 'Hello Goodbye' for the July football match, reportedly said, "No fucking way," according to Dotmusic.

"We've turned down a huge list of ridiculous things like that," said frontman Jon Fratelli. "We're not a bunch of travelling salesmen. If we don't get successful on our own terms then we won't do it at all."

He added: "We were like, 'No fucking way.' It would have got us noticed, of course, but we'd have lost our self-respect."

So the band that got it's big break by having there song used in an Ipod commercial is now acting like they are above all of that. Give me a break! If you don't want to be known as traveling salesman you should start by not telling everyone to buy Ipods after you sing "Flathead" at Coachella. Oh, and if you want the respect of your fans how about not canceling your tour and only playing the corporate dates because you were tired. You may have kept your self-respect but you just lost ours. Gander On!

Euro 2012 and Obvious Thievery

It seems odd that we just posted an article relating to copyright law and we then come across this over at I guess I'm floating. The commercial below is not only a rip-off of the look Apple has developed for it's iPod campaign, they pretty much stole the Fratelli's "Flathead" and changed the words around. I know great minds think alike but this is just to obvious. The song was perfromed by a Ukranian hip-hop group name TNMK and you can check out their other horrible tunes here.

Gander On!

The Fratellis

The Fratellis went on late but it didn't matter. From the opening song the crowded tent was jumping up and down and singing along. Higlights of set included Flathead and after the band made sure to tell the crowd to buy ipods. A strokes cover was thrown in and the set could not have ended better as thousands of people started singing along to Sweet Caroline as they shuffled out to the next adventure. Gander On!
