Street Teams + Flickr = bad --- ARCTIC MONKEYS played Hammerstein Ballroom --- DAVID BAZAN signs to Barsuk

The only thing worse than regular people who mislabel Flickr photos (for instance the people who tagged every single photo from their NYC vacation with “CBGB”), are street team people who mislabel pictures on Flickr – actually – street teams just need to stop using Flickr at all.

Yep, that’s David Bazan in the last photo (sometimes mistaken for an Arctic Monkey – especially when holding a small flag, but actually just a Pedro the Lion), and it was just announed that David signed to Barsuk – ex-home of his tour-mate Ben Gibbard‘s band Death Cab For Cutie.

How were Arctic Monkeys at Hammerstein, and while we’re at it – how were Ben Gibbard and David Bazan at Town Hall?
