• Talk about buzzkill. During All Time Low's Bamboozle Roadshow performance at Six Flags in Arlington last week, amusement park security pepper-sprayed a handful of preteens who rushed the stage in a surge of prepubescent hormonal musical bliss. The band gave the security an earful of Fuck You! and as a result, was been banned from playing the tour's show the next day at Six Flags in San Antonio, according to sister blog DC9 at Night.

• It's not exactly Houston-related, but it's too good not to share, and if you're still suffering from the post-Summerfest withdrawal blues, this just might make your day: 40 minutes of Fugazi stage banter in MP3 form. Utne Reader has a sampling of some of the dialogue, which includes this hilarious nugget:

I saw you eating ice cream pal! You're bad now, but you were eating an ice cream cone and I saw you. That's the shit you can't hide! Ice-cream-eating motherfucker. That's what you are.

It's like the perfect antidote to all the shitty crowds we've encountered.

• Sound Exchange is compiling a YouTube channel featuring all the videos that been shot at shows in the tiny record store over the years. If you have a video to add to the collection, contact them at [email protected].

• Something Fierce has released its newest single, "Empty Screens".

• One Austinite's opinion of Summerfest: "For the moment, Houston thought it was Austin" and "Houstonians don't know how to party". Well, fuck you very much.
