WHAT?!

So I was at the gym and decided to pick up a copy of the Tampa Bay
Times. I was skimming through it when a headline to a tiny article in
an obscure corner caught my eye:

"Shins keyboardist jailed"

Oh. No.

Apparently, last weekend The Shins keyboardist Marty Crandall got into a scuffle with his gf, Elyse Sewell (America's Next Top Model).

Her blog once had up pictures of bruises he allegedly gave her. And she allegedly bit him in self defense.

Either way, the were both sent to jail Friday after causing a stir at their hotel, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Sewell was released from jail Saturday. Crandall was released on a $25,000 bail Monday, the Chronicle reported.

"Marty Crandall and his ex-girlfriend Elyse Sewell were both arrested over the weekend following an argument at a hotel which resulted in staff calling the police.

"They were both taken into police custody and released over the weekend. There will be no further comment at this time and we would appreciate their privacy being respected," The Shin's record label, Sub Pop, stated.

This just makes me sad.
