No show today.

Roundup:
- Not a whole lot was happening today. A couple of video interviews and a few photos from T In The Park.

News:
- Thanks to Brösmeli from ffg for this bit of news from Swiss newspaper, 20Minuten:

Gurtenfestival behind the scenes: Franz Ferdinand chilled already hours before their concert in the backstage area. They played table football, wrote postcards to their loved ones and claimed to use a special service of the festival: The launderette. They were equal to times their entire summer wardrobe cleaned. After their gig the band celebrated the birthday of their sound engineer - with an impressive cake shaped like a mixing desk.

Interviews:

Photos:

Other:
- In semi-related news, Super Furry Animals played a concert recently. For those of you in the dark, Nick is featured on one of their songs, assisting on 'Inaugural Trams' (download) with a German rap. While Nick was unable to perform with SFA at the concert, during the performance of the song, singer Gruff Rhys held up a photo of Nick as the pre-recorded part played. Sort of funny. Sort of irrelevant. Eh. It was a slow day (source). [Watch It.]
