R. Kells nude mannequin (sans fake beard or merkin) probably won’t be as popular as Jane Birkin Nude

kanyewest.com: New “Can’t Tell Me Nothin'” (Zach Galifianakis version) vid posted. Zach and Will Oldham get down with some tractors and Amish kids.

NME headline of the week: Coldplay: ‘Our new album has Hispanic theme.’ However, Chris Martin explains there will be no maracas or castanets. I hope it sounds like Cinco de Michael.

Drowned in Sound: The Cribs think all bands (except for two or three) are complete and total rubbish. They aren’t naming names, but that is OK because they all have really great hair.

Check out the trailer for Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited. It’s like The Life Aquatic, but in India- Three brothers trek through India to find an albino tiger that’s actually their reincarnated father. Ravi Shankar most likely the soundtrack.

NME: The Shins cover Pink Floyd’s “Breathe”. I’ll bet you 50 quid that it’s better than the Scissor Sisters hemorrhage-inducing cover of “Comfortably Numb”.

New York Times: Radio listeners seem to buy less music.
