So now that the Ides of March has come and gone, many of you are no doubt asking important questions, such as: "Wasn't that mighty intriguing supergroup comprised of members of Les Savy Fav, Islands, and Wolf Parade supposed to play on March 15?" Indeed they were, and indeed they didn't.

As previously reported, LSF's Syd Butler, Wolf Parade's Hadji Bakara, and Islands' Nick Diamonds will join forces-- now with WP's Dante Decaro (and no Dan Boeckner), Islands' Jamie Thompson, and Black Mountain's Amber Webber along for the ride-- to rock "The World, Explained", an off-kilter, McSweeney's-sponsored benefit for Dave Eggers' favorite creative writing centers, 826NYC and 826LA. Scheduling conflicts thwarted the original March 15 event date, but breathe easy, as Eggers and co. have rescheduled the bonanza for April 10.

As before, it features the supergroup, along with host Eugene Mirman and assorted interesting people talking about such interesting topics as lightweight arm-wrestling, retiring at age 28, and humor. The hilarity ensues at NYC's Symphony Space at 8 p.m. and tickets are on sale now.

Also, remember how all those fairly brilliant musician folks came up with the fairly terrible band name Internet? Well, they heard your cries of frustration and went ahead and made their band name even more ridiculous and confusing and terrible. The fruit of these men and women's loins will now be known as Final Fantasy: Online a.k.a. Internet. :-(
