As much as I hate to blog about stuff that other people have already blogged about, I would be remiss if I did not address the needs of those of my readers who come to The Shine for all of their news needs. Here are some stories that other blogs have been tracking, that I feel are worth mentioning too.

Karen O Demos Leaked – Some dude leaks the Karen O “Bedroom Demos” to the Internets. Dave Sitek, guitarist from TVOTR is mad about it. People will stop caring about this story in approximately 5,4,3,2,1 seconds.
Arcade Fire Announce 5 UK Shows and 5 Montreal Shows – UK shows sell out in 2 minutes; scalpers licking their chops over Montreal dates.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Announce New Record – Can they duplicate the success of their debut album? If it’s another mediocre record, their fans should be pleased.
