Panda Watch. The mood is tense; I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I uh... Ching... King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said no, you can't do that he's a live bear, he will literally rip your face off.

So -- wait a minute.

The Arctic Monkeys -- the band that is sort of like the Strokes, only they can't write a song worth a shit shit, nor play one -- have won the prestigious Mercury Prize?

Sounds like a certain prize just got a whole lot less prestigious.

i'm sorry but you're an ass. the arctic monkeys do write good songs, and do put A HELL of a show, they play awesome live.

"Fuck the Arctic Monkeys" guy: There's a whole other post all about what an injustice that the Arctic Monkeys won the Mercury Prize, and there's a lot of like-minded people on there that you can commiserate with. This one's about how Yahoo News fucked up and catagorized news about the Monkeys with news about pandas and shit.

Oh. And they're hella good. "A Certain Romance"? Come on. That song's like what would happen if The Clash wrote "Fillmore Jive."
