Apart from boasting a shithead college for shithead students and the world famous Sierra Nevada Brewery, Chico, California, has a thriving (if not nationally recognized) music scene. Many of the players in this scene contribute to a summer School of Rock-style band camp named The Collective Sound. Last year they decided to start putting together a documentary of the goings-on of the staff and the campers, aged 12-18. Watching it will give you that warm on the insides feeling. Please enjoy Episode 4.

So we know that Jared Leto gets pissed, like that one time he choked out Elijah Wood for clowning his band, and that one time he tried to fight Brad Pitt and got his faced all smashed up. So it’s not all that shocking that the other night, when his band 30 Seconds to Mars played London’s Hammersmith Apollo, he bashed some Brit in the head with a mic. What is, however shocking, is that YouTube has made it hard to drink in the lulz by taking down every video of the incident within minutes of it being posted. So while the above video may work for now, in the event of an lulzkill, you can also find the footage here, hereand probably a bunch of other places I’m too lazy to look for. Its cool to beat people with the mic and all, but we liked it better when Leto used to just pop EPIC BONERS onstage instead. That shit is HOT.
