Shins member Martin Crandall arrested for domestic violence against America's Next Top Model Elyse Sewell

So The Shins WILL change your life. THROUGH A BLITZKRIEG OF VIOLENCE.

May I be the first one to say that Martin Lesley Crandall is a cowardly pussy? Yes, I just did.

how good are the seats?

I'm shocked and disgusted. Rot in jail/hell you piece of shit.

wait I got one more:

all those years of kissing the lipless is bound to make anyone go over the edge...

Good Lord, the bastard also whithheld food from her!

"THROUGH A BLITZKRIEG OF VIOLENCE."

Sounds like a wild party!

Unfortunately this makes the whole band look band. Hope they can ditch him and keep on making good music. I say good, because good < awesome. /end

wasn't this in garden state?

Wasn't your mom in "Garden State"?

No, wait, I remember now: I *did* your mom in the Garden State.

guilty until proven innocent?

Wow. He's a real looker. Who did she have to think of while having sex with him?

sorry, he is 145 pounds, not 144. typo.

when do daft punk get arrested for domestic violence?

total asshole & wtf is she doing with him? maybe i should start throwing candy at the crowd while playing the keyboards/bass for a shitty/boring band.

did he write "Smack my bitch up"?

i so got pinched on the go-to Daft Punk joke. fucker.

5-8" 144 my ass. He's pushing 180 easy.

dude is a tubby hobbit.

wait, what was she wearing though?

intense shit.

WHO was she wearing, more like it!

And my eardrums filed domestic abuse charges against the shins following their last bowery performance

"Unfortunately this makes the whole band look band. "

People, check your posts before hitting 'post'. Jersus

if martin crandall is 5'9 and 144 pounds, consider me miles davis.

fighting in a sack anyone?

he severed her seventh rib!

I'm going to judge the shit out of both of them (which correlates in no way to be me being home, alone, and on the internet at 3:00 AM on a Saturday night). I can publicly make insane assumptions about people based on scant information whenever I want--I use the internet!

The bitch had it coming to her. There is no reason a man would hit a woman unless she was acting out of place.

Hopefully Shins concerts in the future will be more entertaining.

What douchebaggery Mr. Crandall has displayed. No more Shins for me until they get rid of him.

Marty, if I would have known you wood have been such a punk to Elyse. I would have kicked your scrawny ass myself, on Top Model visiting Adrianne. Elyse! get away from that tool.
I can't stand pussy assed so called men.
The Motha

Another clear example of how women are so much more shallow than men. No way does a guy who looks like Marty get this hottie unless he is famous. Just disgusting.

Uh, Elyse has been dating Marty for about seven years, I'm pretty sure they went to the same highschool.

Hey anonymous, how is picking a person for money/fame any more shallow than picking a person for looks? And how does an ugly girl get laid? Ugly girls NEVER get laid, even if they ARE rich and famous. Girls have their looks as an advantage for a very short period of time when they are very young and inexperienced in life. Men keep getting more powerful as they get older and richer, which is also something they can work at. How do you work on becoming beautiful if you're not born that way?

hey deb. ugly girls get laid when someone "takes one for the team". or when someone has had too much jameson's one night. ugly girls work on becoming beautiful by shallowly fucking a rich man and getting plastic surgery.

paris hilton looks like a trout and she gets fucked all the time so your theory is bunk

she looks semi-anorexic, which I think is hot.

I've been to Sacramento...there really isn't much else to but get wasted and beat your bitch up.

That's so hilarious that she blogged about it. Gotta love the haternet.

Who wrote that story? The fuzz, the po-po...who talks like that? Oh wait hipsters do.

I'll bet he couldn't get a boner and she was giving him shit, like "why can't you fuck me you indie rock pussy?" and he was like all pissed off about his manliness and proved it by beating her up.

Two sides to the story, kids.

always, always, always two sides to the story.

How do you all know she wasn't abusive towards him? Ya know, women do abuse men as well.

she's got to be a little nuts. Othrewise she wouldn't be so spitefully posting all that information on her Livejournal about the man she was dating for 7 YEARS.

I can't believe some of you assholes are actually DEFENDING Marty. It is NEVER okay for a man to be physically aggressive or violent towards a woman. NEVER. You're probably the same types who think that it's okay for a woman to get raped if she dresses provocatively. I don't know which is worst--advocating that sort of attitude or liking the Shins.

Look for The Shins to headline MSG shortly.

Why is this girl blogging her domestic abuse issues? Do people have any sense of what should be kept private anymore?

I'm not defending Marty, but I'm not defending her either. Not until I hear ALL THE FACTS.

what is "the po-po"?

and why all this gossip?

hey you Anonymous ive got something to say to you,
oh wait

I haven't seen an Indie Rock Scandal like this since Sufjan Stevens came out.

the shins, the america's next bottom 3rd from the right model
what are they?
we have bigger things to focus
BRITNEY!

It's too bad that the only band member who actually talks to the audience will have to be replaced. What an idiot.

i always thought elyse was the gay one
same goes for Marty

that's terrible. but if they get back together, they could totally become the pam and tommy of indie rock!

Terminal 5 sucks!

If she bit him supposedly in self defense and he bruised her supposedly in self-defense, why is he in jail and she's not? Seems much more likely that the party who is least likely to be retaliated against physically - due to cultural taboos and laws - would be the one to initiate violence. It is the easiest thing in the world for a woman to ruin a man's reputation and his life by claiming abuse. When it's he said she said, she always win.

Way more info at the Modern Age:

http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm

sensitive band herbs are much more likely to be abusive assholes than, say, rob zombie. its like how most people who work for charities are dickwads.

From the blog entry, this Elyse chick sounds like an obnoxious attention whore. Any publicity is good publicity!

He shouldn't be fired just because he's in a band that plays fluffy, non-threatening music. If anything it should give the band a much needed rougher edge. Just think of him as the bad boy of the group. Every boy band needs one.

this could give the band a rougher edge but more importantly this could give indie rock a rougher edge. Thats what we need cause when i get drunk, i wanna hit a bitch. so next time im at a show watch out mother bitches, im swinging. especially you neon , nike wearing, im to hip to be square bitches. S.M.D. bitches!!!!!

I like the use of bitch in your passage.

good to see some other musicians besides rappers get put up in jail....

was he actually put in jail or just spend a night in the drunk tank?

Wow, that sounds like an elaborate conspiracy theory right there I tell you. How about this: Did you ever think people fight back not because of some premeditated revenge but maybe they are really fighting back? If this thing was an elaborate conspiracy, what's up with the teeth marks? Why would someone do that if they are attempting to frame someone?

Ah, what a schmuck. That's why drinking is fucking lame, but it's not even about the drinking, this guy is just an asshole. She's such a beautiful girl, why would you ever ruin that relationship and touch her like that. Forget that idiot.

wow... what did she say?

Attaboy!

who cares?

i think daft punk is playing at terminal five.

do you think they were staying with ron artest while in sacramento? it would only make sense at this point.

Why isn't the headline: America's Next Top Model Elyse Sewell arrested for domestic violence against Shins member Martin Crandall?

http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm

maybe they got into a fight because they realized that america's next top model sucks, the shins suck, growing up in albuquerque sucked, and so the only thing left to do was beat each other to death in sacramento.

"a kite?" "toilet talk?" now that's "NEW SLANG!!!" zing! models and rock stars who fuckin cares...wait, i do.

a-hahaha The best part of the story is the bit about how the fight was over him leaving her to bring up 3 suitcases and the bag of taco del mar food.
She has some bruises on her arm and he has a bite mark on his arm. Sounds like what we have here is a sissygirl-slap-fest on both sides and both of them should be jailed for wasting the time and resources of Sacramento's fine and upstanding local law enforcement agency.

She posted the story on her LiveJournal because she was stuck alone in a hotel room in a city where she doesn't know anybody, her boyfriend of seven years had just beat the everlovin' crap out of her (and not, apparently, for the first time), and she put it on her blog because she didn't want to just make it go away. She wrote in her comments section that by having it out there, she wouldn't be able to pretend it never happened and go on with life as usual. If she ever feels like going back to that dickbag, she could just go back to what she wrote and what everybody commented in support. Her readers were her support that night.

Snark all you want, that's scary shit.

He had bite marks. She had bloody knuckles. hmmmm.....

They BOTH sound like two royal assholes.

She *was* arrested. Her parents made bail. Nobody's bailed him out, probably.

Whether you think it was proper for her to blog about it or not, it wasn't too smart legally. Especially how she's being all sarcastic about it. I would keep my mouth shut 'til after court.

Elyse isn't an attention whore at all. She KNEW this would get out into the internet. She became a top model in Japan and he is in a known band. Soon enough, perez or dlisted or someone would of heard about this through the local news or word of mouth. I feel she was scared, alone and by writing it in the public eye, she created a way that she couldn't ignore it anymore. Im sure it was really hard. She is a very laid back person, who unlike most reality tv assholes, has remained working yet does not bother anyone or attention whore to extend her 15 minutes. We dont see her looking for papparazzi outside clubs or being a mess to try to get presstime. She has been a successful model, had a successful book, and keeps to herself.

If she keeps to herself then she wouldn't have posted it online for the whole world to see.

He's out.

"Blitzkrieg of Violence?!"

Why bring Hitler into all of this? It isn't enough that he's associated with trying to exterminate an entire population but you have to throw in domestic violence as well?

Kick him to the curb Honey!

The whole thing seems a bit weird.. including her post..

"single and ready to mingle" ?? I know that different people deal with issues in the different ways...but come on... is that really the first thing you think about the day after your boyfriend allegedly beats you up ?

maybe I'm just part of a different generation or species of people who's first extinct isn't to expose hurtful episodes of their private lives to a world of strangers.

and of course we also don't know the complete story at all..

"I can't believe some of you assholes are actually DEFENDING Marty. It is NEVER okay for a man to be physically aggressive or violent towards a woman. NEVER".

Thanks mom. Stop being such a sexist.

BUST!

144 pounds? doubt it..

BUST!

We should really wait until all the facts are available so that we can properly not care about these twits at that point.

I want him to beat me

Crandall's out, as of Sunday, according to Sacramento city records.

Guess one of you is gonna be front row for MSG next year....

Trust me if you new Marty, this is not the first time he's goten in a druken rage. And he's not 5'9 145.lbs,he's more like 5'5 165, Elyse is about 6' 100.lbs, this was not a (even match )it's never a even match when you have a drunk man wrestling a lady. The word one the streets in Portland was the fight was Over tacos.
What a example Marty what a nice guy.

Marshal Crenshaw wouldn't have done this

Britney wouldn't have blogged about it.

Seriously call your family and friends for support, but spare the world the details of your domestic violence incident and photos?
She is really either obsessed with herself or livejournal.

"BUST!"

Where? She doesn't have one in the photo above.

You are getting your 'facts' from a blog who's header is:
'A blog about music, pop culture, the Strokes, puppies, Jack White, and cute boys.'

PERSPECTIVE.

sooo does this mean marty is single now too?

this stuff usually means she's had sex with someone new, or is about to.

And next up for the couple, a duet of 'Nutbush City Limits'.

Another sufferer of Raging Manlet Syndrome, or RMS for short. The individual afflicted with RMS can be expected to bite, kick and squeal much like Mike Teevee did when he got shrunk down by Willy Wonka.

More wastes of oxygen and skin. Do not want.

"I can't believe some of you assholes are actually DEFENDING Marty. It is NEVER okay for a man to be physically aggressive or violent towards a woman. NEVER".

while i am not saying that it is a good thing for a guy to beat up a girl... i hope you dont believe in equal rights because then you should write "it is never ok for a person to be physically aggressive or violent towards another person." you cant just take the good stuff with equal rights, you gotta take it all...

Only Marty was drunk? If you read her livejournal she likes the juice too.

wow. you guys are dicks. enough said.

wow douchebag, you're sensitive. Move to Utah and become a mormon and get it over with.

I have seen quite a few good people do some bad shit when they are drunk. it is a shame and it occasionally ruins lives. this guy will certainly receive his fair share of punishment, but should his life be ruined becasue he and his girlfriend had a drunk altercation were both probably share a degree of responsibility?

if there's one thing i learned from americas next top model it's that models are really skinny

that's funny... marty crandall grew up mormon. doesn't look like it made him any more sensitive... now who's the douchebag.

Um...still you. Marty is sensitive enough to know when some bitch is trying to capitalize by overblowing something instead of someone.

"Trust me if you new Marty, this is not the first time he's goten in a druken rage.

Posted by >>> | January 7, 2008 2:39 PM"

So am i to believe that Marty hangs out with illiterate morons?

what's a "first extinct"?

There's no way that guy weighs 144 lbs.

Beings of earth, after reading through the postings on this thread, we have determined that there isn't a single redeeming value to your useless planet, and have decided to replace it with a worm hole. Move along.

I hate the Internet and everyone on it.

Anon. Jan. 17, wtf is taking you so long?

I bet she bruises really easily... he probably bumped into her...

love it

What is a first extinct?

that's terrible. but if they get back together, they could totally become the pam and tommy of indie rock!

how good are the seats?

The bitch had it coming to her. There is no reason a man would hit a woman unless she was acting out of place.

ss

shitfaced and roughed me up in a Sacramento hotel. I escaped from the room through a blitzkrieg of violence and talked to hotel security

That is totally jacked. Guess just becasue you are are celeb doesn't mean that you are some how excused from being human.

bilumum her işi

I am glad he is in jail. Let him sit thier for a while. Worst part is she had to go tojail also.

That's not right. Beating your loved one is never right.

that's funny... marty crandall grew up mormon. doesn't look like it made him any more sensitive... now who's the douchebag.

Crandall's out, as of Sunday, according to Sacramento city records.

Guess one of you is gonna be front row for MSG next year....

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful articles...............

and why all this gossip?

The information obtained from this very helpful for me, thank you.4ch DVR

this is interesting

Well, I don’t think all of The Shins should be punished for the alleged wrongdoings of one member. (I mean, Marty is the keyboardist, not the flipping lead singer.) I don’t know how close the band members are to one another, but I hope the other dudes let Marty know how UNCOOL it is to ALLEGEDLY beat up on your girlfriend.

I’m a calm guy. I had a borderline abusive father who I stood up to as a child to protect my mother. I would never allow myself to lose my temper, drunk or otherwise, with a woman. I’ve dated my share of skinny indie women, models or otherwise. I’ve been physically attacked by them when they flipped out over something, and been bitten, and done nothing more than grab their arms to defend myself. I’ve had them show people bruises resulting from that as signs of “abuse,” which luckily anyone who knows me would not take seriously for a minute.

I’ll hold off paying any further attention to this until both sides of the story are out.

The information obtained from this very helpful for me, thank you.

Maybe he doesn't get what he always wanted from her every night.. teheh..

He was drunk and beated others is not right.

144 lbs.. Uff...

very interesting

Hey I just wanted to let you know,

Nice one, she deserve it maybe...

Very interesting. He deserves to be in jail obviously.

shes amazing..thanks for the info.

Women should not be treated this way.

He must be liable for the acts he committed.

what happened to innocent til proven guilty?

thank you for the information, I was already looking for the torrent before reading this.. ..should read first in the article too, before “veyron” and “top gear” so those of us who get a hard on with those, would not waste valuable time trying to find the torrent

Domestic violence must be taken seriously. But of course we must keep in mind innocent until proven guilty.

Anyone who hits a woman should be locked up. End of.

Those are some nasty bruises. I would not make any absolutes regarding domestic violence. Actually, I think emotional violence can often be more devastating. Regardless, the best thing that can happen is that people go their separate ways if domestic violence is a reoccurring pattern. Life is too short.

Hİ ! Ilike the fact you're NOT on the food network....only adds to your allure.

while i am not saying that it is a good thing for a guy to beat up a girl... i hope you dont believe in equal rights because then you should write "it is never ok for a person to be physically aggressive or violent towards another person." you cant just take the good stuff with equal rights, you gotta take it all...

good lord, what the hell is wrong with these guys, why would you want to beat a women, i really do not understand how that is pleasing to anyone.

I actually didn't know that they was arrested but i am not surprised i have to say.

If you're in uncomfortable position and have got no cash to move out from that, you will need to receive the mortgage loans. Because that should aid you emphatically. I take sba loan every single year and feel myself good just because of it.

This chic is nuts and looking for attention, clearly.

To show your personal growth you must accomplish papers of superb quality. Furthermore, that is not as difficult as students think, just because this is easy to pay someone to write my paper and relax.

Yes, bad people should go to jail for sure like him
