Before the Super Secret Summer Surprise mishaps went down at the ICA the other night, I had the chance to peruse the Shepard Fairey exhibit before it closed for the night.

An odd little entry in the latest line of Sunny Day Real Estate reunion rumors: What’s odd about that? Well, anyone familiar with SDRE’s odd history will tell you that their first go-’round as a band, the group never played California.
