and oh its oh so tawdry

Who was at the Sonic Youth show last night? How was it?

Pete Doherty's been having secret studio sessions with Mike Skinner. Pete laid down some vocals on an updated version of 'Prangin' Out' which just might be The Streets next single.

Dirty Pretty Things take up a good cause.

Jenny Lewis and Scissor Sisters have announced fall North American tour dates... and by "North American" they mean pretty much all American except for one stop in Toronto.

Anyone else bummed The Knife aren't coming to Toronto?

This September Placebo will release a 10th anniversary re-mastered version of their classic eponymous debut. I loved this album when I was 15.

Basement Jaxx have new music up on their MySpace site. They can do no wrong in my ears.

Fans of Cerys Matthews can hear some tracks off her new album "Never Said Goodbye" on her official MySpace site. Quite simply, I worship this woman.

Rachel (Scenestars) made a great picture post about all the dumb bitches who wore ridiculous shoes to Lollapalooza over the weekend.

These pictures of Britney Spears (without airbrushing) and Jessica Simpson (not looking this good) help me feel better about myself. Yes, I am sad.
