Puddle Jumping

Life across the pond has been pretty well this year for Detroit rock ever since Kid Rock’s overplayed “All Summer Long” went #1 over there in July (What is it with mainstream radio and its ability to totally suck the life out of a song?)

It looks like Iggy Pop took a little spill off the stage at the Park Festival in London yesterday, and no he was not stage diving. That’s what you get for being a hyper crazy 61-year-old rock star.

Also, The Raconteurs played Reading Festival on Saturday. It sounds like NME really liked seeing Jack White play the festival for a fourth time in a decade.

However, everything is not so rosy for the HiFi Handgrenades. It looks like they had to cut their recent European tour short. I guess my only question for Speck and company would be, isn’t the exposure to a larger audience worth going in the hole for? In all honesty, I don’t think the euro vs. dollar exchange rate is really in your favor at the moment. Send a complaint to the White House curiosity of the HiFi Handgrenades.
