 * Comment - I think this story is great (even if a rip-off of The Mighty Boosh's "Journey to the Centre of the Punk"), but the hook is referenced to a blog that is simply re-posting news from MTV (better source). Otherwise it's great. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  23:36, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Obviously I agree about the greatness, haven't seen any Mighty Boosh though. As for the ref, Exclaim! is a pretty good mag, one of our better ones up here in the north for music.  Not really a blog. It appears to be an original article by a staff writer.  The MTV ref is good too, I'll add it as a backup.  The Interior  (Talk) 00:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what I meant to say was that it wasn't reliable because it ends in ".ca". I was basing it off of appearance, but it does seem to be legit (even notable enough for an article). So I guess it doesn't matter either way, although they are directly referencing MTVHive as their source for that info. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  00:27, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a bad idea to bait Canadians during the playoffs, especially when their team is down against a team from somewhere called Lost Angelees or something (preceding typed during commercial break):) The Interior  (Talk) 00:37, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know what any of that means, but nobody should ever lose anything to Los Angeles. My heart goes out to the victims. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  01:48, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

My two cents I was alerted because I created the article (initially as a redirect with some HTML-comment text), but The Interior actually added the relevant copy. I'd suggest some re-wording the hook along these lines:
 * ... the Flaming Lips plan to include blood samples from their collaborators in the vinyl edition of their album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends?

Either way, it's an interesting DYK and I'm glad that The Interior saw fit to add to this article. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Article meets size and date requirements, hook is sourced and very interesting (probably should have said this before, new to DYK). Seems good-to-go. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  06:12, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Response I'm not familiar with DYK--how will this be worded and when will it be on the Main Page? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:18, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
