Weirdness

So MTV2 hosts the Dew Circuit Breakdown or some such, in which bands compete to do something for MTV2 and for fame or fortune. Clearly it's not to get signed since most bands that have competed in the past (I Am the Avalanche, Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer) had labels to call their home.

This year's winner is Lynnwood, WA's The Myriad. I find this a bit strange since a few years ago, my old band was playing shows with them and no more than two years ago, they were doing their CD release show at the Easy Street Records that I worked at. In any event, they're a pretty good band -- Christian rock overtones notwithstanding (sorry, Joel) -- so good for them!
