up all night... again

Wow! Absolutely nothing of interest is happening today!

Sadly, no one was at the airport to welcome Pete Doherty back to Albion. Poor thing.

Matador has released an MP3 of "Another Sunny Day" by Belle & Sebastian for fans wanting a taste of the new album.

Chromewaves' MP3 download this week is The Magic Numbers covering Beyonce's "Crazy In Love". I still definately prefer the Snow Patrol cover with the bad rapping.

Some poor girl in Quebec got the kiss of death from her boyfriend. (From Boadwee)

waiting for pete doherty to die?

Woohoo! I have been added to the list of Top Pop Music Blogs! Check out the full listing here! Sweet!

Uh oh! Pete Doherty's already checked out of rehab...

Big thanks go out Heather who referred me to Revolution In The Head which has posted a song by The Indelicates called "Waiting For Pete Doherty To Die". Obviously I don't want to like it... but I really do! It's a good song!

Dear Kate Moss, please don't ruin my favourite Christmas song of all-time ("Fairytale of New York") or I'll be very sad. Thank you.

The Gallagher brothers are at it again...

If you wanna discover some new music you might want to play around with this little gem. I've heard it referred to as "musical crack" before.

I feel sorry for the kid already. Thoughts?

gin in teacups and leaves on the lawn

Ladies and gentlement, as promised... The 33 hottest bands in Canada! I think its an excellent list - especially since all 10 of my nominees made the cut. Respect to Matthew at i (heart) music for all his hard work in compiling the list.

Yessss! Pete Doherty flew to America on Saturday and checked himself into rehab at The Meadows clinic in Arizona where (ex-?)girlfriend Kate Moss was recently treated. He's choosing her over drugs! It must be love!

Pete Doherty is no longer #1 on the NME Cool List - Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys is. I think Liam Gallagher got robbed.

Idlewild have left their record label EMI/Parlophone. It should also be noted that frontman Roddy Woomble recently got hitched - which kinda saddens me because I used to have a massive crush on him (at least until I met him).

Franz Ferdinand play "imtimate gig" at children's hospital. Bless'em.

Thierry's famous. He appears in the new BRMC video right after the the first chorus and plays with his hair. It's a very pretty cameo.

Yesterday I came across this bad Morrissey comic and felt obligated to share.

Whoa! All my really really ridiculously good-looking girlfriends better apply to be Canada's Next Top Model!!!

Morrissey answers 15 questions from his fans. (Link from Torr)

Paul Weller is receiving the Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at the 2006 Brit Awards.

Super Furry Animals refused to sell "Hello Sunshine" for use in a Coke commercial. Part of me really respects them for this... and part of me thinks they're crazy for not taking the easy money.

BRMC have a new video for "Weight Of The World". It was shot in Toronto during the bands show at the Phoenix, on September 24th.

Thanks to Matt who informed be that Mansun are releasing a greatest hits collection next year and it features a DVD of all their singles plus backstage and live footage over their career. Sweet.

Gary Glitter has been arrested in Vietnam for kiddie-fiddling. So much troubs.

David Bowie to star in a movie opposite Michael Caine. Interesting.

I really need to focus on school for the next few weeks so I'm warning you that updates might be sporadic until mid-December. I'll do what I can.

i will keep you on my mind

Pete Doherty has digitally removed his former manager James Mullord from the new Babyshambles video for "Albion" because Pete's convinced Mullord was the one that sold the Kate Moss cocaine pics to the tabloids.

Speaking of... Kate Moss looks absolutely stunning in this shot from the 2006 Pirelli calander. (NSFW)

Courtney Love talks to The Guardian about trying to get her shit together.

This made me laugh. (From this weeks Holy Moly!)

Stereogum claims Rumble Strips are the new Arctic Monkeys. Thoughts?

If you like Suede/The Tears you might be interested in this interview with Brett and Bernard. Personally I found it rather dull.

The new Harry Potter film comes out this weekend so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Jarvis Cocker's cameo. Apparently, his voice is also very recognizable.

How cute were The Subways on The O.C. last night?

Do you live in New York City? Are you willing to let me crash on your couch/floor on New Years Eve? If so please email me!

popular culture no longer applies to me

Belle & Sebastian have unveiled the new album's tracklisting. In the meantime you can check out a clip of Belle & Sebastian concert special taped for BBC Scotland. (Link from You Aint No Picasso)

The Flaming Lips are back with new music. Follow the NME links because I'm too busy to do it myself.

Nada Surf roll back into Toronto on March 11th.

In case you missed it yesterday, a bunch of bloggers compiled a list of 'The Top 40 Bands in America Today'... I can assure you there's a Canadian edition in the works.

I swore I saw a nipple! And it seems I wasn't the only one! Mischa Barton really did have a nipslip in last week's episode of The O.C.!

in the future when all's well

Morrissey has announced the tracklisting for 'Ringleader of the Tormentors'. The song titles are brilliant as ever... Ex. "In The Future When All's Well", "I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now", "To Me You Are A Work Of Art", etc.

There are new rumours of a Smiths reunion at the ‘Manchester V Cancer’ show in the new year organized by ex-Smiths bass player, Andy Rourke.

Stereogum directed me to a remix of Spoon's "I Turn My Camera On" that a certain boy I know might like.

Big thanks to Thierry who informed me of Chromewaves posting the best link ever... Corey Feldman performing on MuchMusic's Electric Circus back in 1993. It's so bad it makes me feel good about myself.

dirty dancefloors and dreams of naughtiness

Arctic Monkeys did not disappoint last night. The band put on a killer show and, for once, I wasn't the only one dancing! There were drunken louts, singalongs to unreleased songs, and good times all around. Shout outs to fellow bloggers Rebecca and Dart who I caught up with at the show!

Morrissey's describes his new album as “the most beautiful, perhaps the most gentle, so far”.

Chart has reviewed Art Brut's recent Toronto show.

Pitchfork didn't totally destroy Babyshambles in their review of 'Down In Albion'.

In case you don't have it yet here's the new single from The Strokes, "Juicebox".

The Beastles mash-up!

go art brut! go!

I saw Art Brut last night and they totally blew me away.
Some of the highlights:
- After the lyric “Stay off the crack” we were told to stay away from Pete Doherty because “he’s a bad man”.
- The bass amp caught on fire during the third song.
- Eddie led a Q&A session for 5 minutes while the smoke cleared.
- Eddie went out in to the audience for “Modern Art” walking around the Lee's Palace screaming “Modern art makes me want to rock out” without a mic.
- Everyone who attended has to form a band. Or Eddie will come back and be very disappointed in us.

- The band look like they're having incredible amounts of fun onstage and their enthousiasm is contagious.
- They're all very lovely people.
- At the end of the night I was coerced into having a picture of me and Eddie Argos and Ian from the band taken.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that Art Brut are fucking brilliant. If you have the chance, go see them.

Tonight’s the Arctic Monkeys show (so if you're going and you see me there say hello) and for those of you not going I’ll make sure you hear all about it tomorrow.

Everyone's hatin on everyone these days. Justin Hawkins bashes Chris Martin, Liam Gallagher bashes Franz Ferdinand, and Noel Gallagher bashes everyone. Where is the love people?

Roger Daltrey (The Who) has joined the "Pete Doherty is wasting his life" campaign. But he did give praise to Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs. Bless.

Hate on him all you want but Robbie Williams has been named the most successful musician in the UK so far this century. Coldplay and U2 can suck it!

Is it just me or was Kate Moss looking much hotter hooked on the crack?

I think I'm going to have to go see Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic if only for the song used in the trailer. (Link from Thierry)

The Guardian has a fantastic interview with Pete Doherty today. He's so broken. I adore him.

Big thanks for Thierry for the extra push I needed in checking out that AWFUL leaked Kevin Federline track.
