    Ah, the life of a rock 'n' roll band. It's not all booze and groupies. A strict code of ethics prevents bands from griping too loudly about crappy reviews, crappy concert halls, or crappy fans. Until now, of course, thanks to the world wide interweb.

    Grizzly Bear recently wrapped up their national tour with TV on the Radio, and the band has posted a lovely blog entry that identifies "The Best and Worst of Our Fall Tour."

    Twin Citizens can certainly hold their heads high today: The Grizzlies identified their First Avenue show as both their biggest and their most favoritest of the entire run. On the downside, the mainroom's Green Room apparently sucked hard enough to be the "Worst Backstage" in the lower 48.
