edit:the one earth concert has just been postponed till further notice..hm


The One Earth Concert, another one of those concerts organized by rockers who either actually care about the world, or are plain desperate for publicity. or both.

well, this concert which currently has Manic Street Preachers, The Strokes, The Darkness, Embrace, Elbow, & Super Furry Animals onboard is supposed to raise awareness about climate change among the general public. to be honest, i don't understand why musicians spend so much time on stuff like this...live 8, anyone? well, last i remembered, politicians from the developed countries still don't give a damn about africa, so i think musicians should go back to what they do best..make music, while politicians can go back to doing "important-politician-stuff" , such as organizing tea parties.

poverty's still everywhere, and so is war...including this little war of words between 2 of my favourite bands..sigh..don't people ever learn that nobody wins in a war?just hope kapranos and liam stops this childish bickering.

on a lighter note, Pitchfork gave the strokes' FIOE a 5.9...ahaha...take that, yoong bing. =]
