Morning Music Notes – the Irony Burglar
Kanyé West’s LA home burgled
In a clear bid to define irony, someone broke into Kanyé West’s Hollywood Hills home yesterday, while Kanyé and Jay-Z were on the road for their Watch the Throne tour. Not much more to this story beyond the irony, frankly… but the irony is good!

A Mighty Tour Announcement – Refused & Sleigh Bells!
One of the mightiest bands ever – Refused – has re-formed and gone out on tour, and PeteHatesMusic.com staff couldn’t be happier about it. And they have announced that their supoprt on this tour will be the also mighty (but slightly more cute) Sleigh Bells.
Refused re-formed in 2012 after breaking up in 1998. During their hiatus, lead singer Dennis Lyxzén formed The International Noise Conspiracy. Kerrang named their 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come #13 on their list of the most influential albums of all time.

The band has also offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect. If you’re in the area – please check out the video.
