    Pavement Special launch is tonight

    Guns and Roses have just announced their withdrawal from MyCokeFest due to an injury to legendary ex-Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson. To be honest, Tommy Stinson was the only reason that I would have attended the gig at all. Some of the South African acts are worth watching (Dirty Skirts, Taxi Violence, Parlotones and maybe the Nude Girls), but the rest of the line up was lame as all hell. Hey, now that they don't have to pay Guns and Roses (which should have changed its name to the Fat Axel Experience...
