I really do like your site, but why the recent switch towards "celebrity sightings"? If we wanted that, we'd be at US Magazine or Gawker stalker. You're a music site. Celebrities are morons.

Did Kanye's set suck like it did at Coachella and Lollapalooza? Red paint across the eyes? I've never seen that before.

Is a Kanye West concert not to be considered "music" concert?

I think the person was talking about the end of this post, where it radomnly drops name after asinine name after asinine name...I agree. Been noticing that more & more on this site. Keep it about the music, please.

If you don't want to read a list of celebrity names, then just don't read it.

Seriously, SHUT UP.

You're absolutely right. But when the length of content on the post dedicated to celebrity-oggling is equal to what's dedicated to the show write-up (& why doesn't this post even say anything about what the show was like?), and it's been done in other recent posts, then it could be a sign that the site is going off on a new editorial direction. And as loyal site readers, we like to remind BV to keep it real.

>>Seriously, SHUT UP.
Thanks for adding something of value. Really. Oh, and seriously, learn how to post correctly, moron.
