I Set My Friends On Fire: the band you never heard of, are coming to sellout a festival near you soon
So: the design is perfect, the name and logo are excellent. It seems they have fourteen billion MySpace listens already and 100 date tour. Already no doubt sold more records then Guns N Roses and The Killers combined. And nobody has ever heard of them. I can already see them on main stage at Download or Bloodstock or somesuch, book them up now.
Music Towers can only assume thar this summer, I Set My Friends On Fire will come over here to blow our tiny little minds, with their accomplished mix of hardcore electro, High School Musical pop, and their comedic yet postive outlook.

Venn That Tune
If you like Venn Diagrams, you will like this. Some clever man called Andrew Viner worked out that everyone likes music, everyone likes Venn Diagrams, hence his just-released book, Venn That Tune.
Venn diagrams, or set diagrams, show all hypothetically possible logical relations between a finite collection of sets. Apply that theory to pop hits, and you’ve got yourself chunk after chunk of 30 second amusement.
