This week, Alex Kapranos tweeted: “This http://www.latenightmcdonalds.com/ is an example of how a band falls out with their US label. Did they think we’d approve this shit? Dirty bastards. Stupid arrogant motherfucking pig-brained arseholes. I’d rather eat a cowpat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds. Not all labels are bastards. Domino aren’t. Just spoke to L Bell on the phone who knew nothing of it.”

Roddy Woomble tells all in his online diary: *One thing I have been doing is a bit of moonlighting as a restaurant reviewer. I did it last year too, for a popular Scottish magazine. It’s more work than I’d expected, the chance to sample new restaurants and taste different meals is good, but it’s harder than imagined to come up with interesting adjectives to describe burgers, or fish dishes. I’m trying my best though, although it’s starting to impair my enjoyment of the meal slightly, due to worry that I can’t describe the way the food tastes properly.*

According to this report, members of Muse & My Chemical Romance got terribly sick following a visit to Glenn Gormley’s Green Leafe Cafe while on tour in Virginia.
So sick, in fact, that the bands were forced to cancel several dates to recover from the food poisoning.
Since the incident, outraged fans have been leaving Glenn Gormley (owner) countless death threats. Gormley has gotten the police involved, where as the bands have gotten The Health Department of Virginia to conduct a full investigation of the establishment.
Yikes. This sounds like war.
