- The sheer vitriol that's being thrown at The Love Guru means that I might have to see it, given my inexplicable desire to watch all horrendous films. The MTV Movie Awards, which happened recently and was hosted by Mike Myers, was a terrible car-crash of lowest common denominator jokes and skits. And by most accounts, so is this film.

- There's a music festival coming to my town. And I don't mean The Fest, which is a pretty well established punk gathering. No, in September, there'll be an event with actual bands I've heard of, like Drive-By Truckers and Mates of State. Not sure how much it costs yet, but I imagine I'll check it out. Radiohead probably won't be there, though. [The Real Big Deal]
- I was pretty disappointed by 'The Secret Migration', so I'm excited that Mercury Rev are releasing TWO new albums later this year. One of which'll be free. Bonus! Here's an old gem. [MercuryRev.com]

- I was happy to see old Oasis singles get a look-in. Because they used to be brilliant. The 'D'You Know What I Mean' single, particularly, was unique in that all the b-sides were vastly superior to the lead track. In fact, from that single, here's my favourite Oasis song. [AV Club]
