The uncertain nature of the global economy will likely continue for some time, but the unraveling of investment banking and the drastic market sell-off in the following weeks has already been given a name — the Panic of 2008.
The panic in the US is playing out the effects of cheap money that encouraged consumer borrowing and subprime mortgage lending that gave home buyers access to loans they could not afford, driving the housing market into an unsustainable bubble. Financial institutions made bad bets on the housing market and ended up with worthless assets that had to be written off in quantities disproportionately large for the capital reserves maintained by these banks.

I've already given you a couple of glimpses at Amy Winehouse (and her Blake tribute) and Kelly Jones at T In The Park this weekend, so it's about time I tell you a little more about the Scottish festival! The lineup was awesome and included We Are Scientists, The Subways, Panic At The Disco, Feeder, Vampire Weekend, R.E.M, The Raconteurs and many more. Guitars were the order of the day as you'll see from my massive gallery from the event, with Jack White, Brendon Benson, Kate Nash, Newton Faulkner and many others strumming away onstage for the massive crowd.
