Thanks for waiting until noon to put tickets on sale and then not having any available.

**UPDATE** - Thanks to loyal reader Chad, I went to the venue's website and got a ticket for Moz's Baltimore show! Talk about best case scenario...I have a ticket and didn't pay Ticketmaster a dime. Thanks Chad!

From NME:

Super Furry Animals have titled their forthcoming album Hey Venus!.

The record, the follow-up to 2005's Love Kraft, will be released at the end of August.

Frontman Gruff Rhys told NME.COM earlier this year to expect a "speaker-blowing" LP, though no further details have been made available at the moment.

Yep, that's San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker with the ill flow. It's hard to sound gangsta when you're rapping in French. You sound like a wussy Sean Paul. Le bounce!
