Go ahead, make a dangling modifier joke. British anthem rockers Editors won’t have to revise any part of 2007. Next year looks good from here, too.

Found in: Music, NewsEditors Schedule North American Tour for September
Having just released their sophomore album, An End Has A Start, Editors have announced some North American tour stops. For the month of September, they will continue to vie for the hearts and noise-pallets of people who want a more dressed-down, musically grandiose Interpol with lyrics no less questionable when paid attention to (Pull the blindfold down/So your eyes can't see/Now run as fast as you can/Through this field of trees. . .is not a field, by definition, treeless?). Kidding aside, the entire Kitchenware/Sony BMG release is available to stream on the Editors MySpace, and available... read more
