Happy Monday! I went to see Chat Pile at Revolution Hall last night, and it was sold out, which I love to see. There’s just something about a packed Sunday night show that makes me forget I have to be a functioning person again the next morning.

Anyways, we’ve got a new week ahead of us, and I’m starting it off with a giveaway! Enter to win tickets to Emo vs. Pop-Punk: Myspace Music Video Party at Dante’s on Friday, Oct. 23. Time to find out if all those years on Myspace prepared you for this moment.

Okay, let’s get into it!
