Peter Bjorn And John Announce Surprise Birthday Tour
Peter Bjorn And John have announced dates for a North America “Birthday Tour” to celebrate their 10 years together. The Swedish indie pop group write on their MySpace:
10 years ago Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson decided to form a band called “Peter Bjorn And John.”
To celebrate, we are going to do a special “surprise birthday tour” in select cities around North America — dates below!
This anniversary tour will feature special and never-before seen events including special surprise guests!
Every night we will play some rare old/brand new or never-before-heard songs.
This will also be our last tour before we go into the studio, so if you can’t wait until 2011 you should come and sing Happy Birthday.
The amazing and award-winning light master “Ed Warren” is putting together a special “Birthday Light Show” just for this tour.
There will be whistling contests in every city. The winners will get to be onstage performing “Young Folks” with PB&J!
We will be giving out free tickets to the shows through their twitter page.
Special Peter Bjorn And John merch items will be given away for free after the shows plus our favourite singer, “El Perro Del Mar,” and her Swedish “All Star Trio” will open up each night playing music from her brand new record.

Sia Furler To Gay Marriage Opponents: Go Fu** Yourselves
Sia Furler checked in with her Twitter followers on Wednesday (November 4), a day after voters in Maine rejected a law that allowed gays to marry. The Australian singer voiced frustration with President Obama for not publicly backing the measure, and was furious for anyone who backed those against gay marriage. The 33-year-old, who is currently in a same-sex relationship with JD Samson of Le Tigre, tells readers:
Please sign and RT that petition I just posted in support of equality for all. Ask for Obama’s silent compliance to end. It’s so bothersome.
As much as I wish non US citizens could sign it, I think unless you live here, or lie and say your zip code is 90210, for e.g. you can’t.
@paolomac that’s pretty rude. This is my forum, if you don’t care about my take on life why are you following me?
@paolomac oh you’re a homophobe? Well then you can totally go fu** yourself. I don’t need fans like you.
Raging. If you are a homophobe or uninterested in my political views then unfollow me, and go fu** yourself.
WE ARE EQUAL. WE DESERVE EQUAL RIGHTS.

Lindsay Lohan: My Father’s Such A Loser
Lindsay Lohan hit back at her father Michael after he released a phone coversation the 23-year-old had with him to radaronline.com. LiLo told her Twitter followers on Wednesday (November 4):
My father’s such a loser & those recordings are from years ago. To release personal things is foul enough, but to edit them. I used to think that he needed the book for dummies on learning how to be a father. Haha-he’s needs the book for dummies on HOW TO BE A MAN.
Thank you to my fans for all of your support I luv you all so much! And I’m lucky to have great family & friends THAT ARE in my life & are positive influences! So much going on in the world, let’s focus on putting our energy into the RIGHT things :) … Love you all.

As the daughter of Vietnam veterans + the sister of active air force, my heart genuinely goes out 2 the families of troops and…..
to the troops themselves. I support you, I respect you, and I pray daily for you. I wish the world was a more loving peaceful place xoxoxoxo
@SandraBernhard it would be something we could be proud of, no other generation has ever figured it out at the table. be4 people were hurt.
But let’s be honest – as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing like a “person in uniform” :)
