Carly Rae Jepsen
Apparently, just like every other person in the known universe, breakout singer Carly Rae Jepsen is obsessed with The Hunger Games.

Teen Crud Combo
While doing some research for my interview with Allyson Baker of the way-awesome Dirty Ghosts I came across this snippet about her old band Teen Crud Combo in my concert diary. I figured it was worth sharing…
Teen Crud Combo @ El Mocambo, June 8, 2000 — I remember them being way obnoxious in a funny, Dan Burke-loves-‘em kinda way. I think they also came out with wrestling belts on. Danko came out and sang a couple songs with them. People were throwing buckets of water on them, which was kinda weird.
