is it weekend yet?

Damon Albarn has formed another band with a silly name.

Beck is headlining the American version of the Download festival.

Bobby Gillespie pulls a Lily Allen - and gets away with it of course.

Mike Skinner's protegee has a dig at Lily Allen. It's fucking terrible.

If you like Serge Gainsbourg you're really going to like this Stereogum post.

From The Peg Festival at Harbourfront Centre this weekend = Free Weakerthans show tomorrow night!

Obviously I have to see this.

Lindsay Lohan's in trouble with her boss.

There are going to be new characters on Coronation Street based on Liam and Noel Gallagher!!! This excites me!

Dave Chappelle is coming.

Holy crap this is the best accessory I've seen all summer.

Oh and be sure to wish this kid a happy birthday if you see him at Don't Be Shy tonight!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
