I'm so in love with The Pipettes these days. Here's details on their debut album and their adorable video for "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me"... For the record, I agree with Skatterbrain that Rose is by far the cutest.

Carl Barat (Dirty Pretty Things) thinks The Libertines will reform one day. I can only dream.

Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) is having a book published later this year. 'Sound Bites' is a compilation of the food columns he's been writing for The Guardian newspaper.

Embrace are shooting their new video in London tomorrow and need the help of 1500 fans.

Dave Grohl gives trapped Australian miners the hook-up. What a good dude.

Stereogum has a recent Radiohead bootleg to comfort everyone (like me) who didn't get tickets to their upcoming tour.

Toronto Star's Ben Rayner talks to Mike Skinner (The Streets) and is shocked by how little he has to say on the phone.

Former Beta Band frontman Steve Mason tells the Guardian why he's decided to quit music and disappear.

Elton John had cowritten (and played piano) on a new Scissor Sisters track.

Geri Halliwell had a baby shower and I imagine the celebrations might have been slightly spoiled by The Sun's recent story that her baby's daddy is a former junkie. Ouch.

I'm lovin' this new Toronto transit map.
