Bummed LA and NY got final Nine Inch Nails shows, but Philadelphia was left out? We have just the good news to cure your blues. Them Crooked Vultures, better known as "Dave Grohl's New Supergroup," released a very select few US tour dates this week and oh, look at that—lucky us, Philly is on the list! While Gothamist and LAist were turning mighty green (no shows for them as of right now) we were busy cherry picking the online presale this morning. After forty full minutes of severe Ticketmaster password failure we finally managed to our golden ticket into what promises to be an epic Electric Factory event.

• A posthumous tribute wall dedicated to singer/songwriter Elliot Smith sat defaced by graffiti for months on end -- LAist said enough, so did the fans and city council.
• SFist was surprised to learn that chronic presidential candidate Ralph Nader picked former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez as his running mate.
• Phillyist explored the possibilities of green cleaning.

To describe the Eagles of Death Metal as merely a side-project of Queens of the Stoneage frontman Josh Homme (who goes by the hilariously excellent and ridiculous moniker, Carlo Von Sexron, when playing with the Eagles) is to do the band a disservice. Although, as the title of this post suggests, their music is far from being death metal, it is an incredibly fun, perhaps-slightly-harder-than-average bluesy pop rock that is highly enjoyable, and really something quite distinct from the sound of Queens of the Stoneage. EoDM have even more swagger, and even more of a sense of humor about themselves and what they're doing, as you can tell from their entertaining cover of the only famous Steeler's Wheels song, which, ever since Reservoir Dogs, Phillyist likes to call "the ear-cutting song," and which EoDM call "Stuck in the Metal with You."
