Bang bang rock and roll!

Art Brut’s new album, It’s a Bit Complicated, is coming out in the US on June 26. Chances are, it will be out in Britain before then. This makes me sad.

And I’m still waiting for my little brother to discover rock and roll.

Go get em, Tiger

Spidey looks pretty down, right? Maybe it’s the rain or the black suit, which (shhhh) is really an alien symbiote. More likely, he’s all emo after listening to the soundtrack for his last film, which featured Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional. Fortunately for our beloved webslinger (and his fans), the soundtrack for Spider-man 3 will be pseudo-indie, with songs by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Flaming Lips, The Walkmen, The Killers, and Snow Patrol.

There are also going to be songs by The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath on it. By The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath, I mean Jet and Wolfmother.

Rock the Bells

If you’re into rap, tell me this isn’t a sick lineup: Wu-tang Clan, Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, The Roots, Nas, Mos Def, EPMD, Pharoahe Monch, MF Doom, Immortal Technique, Sage Francis, The Coup, Jedi Mind Tricks, Felt, Living Legends, Brother Ali, Cage, Mr. Lif, Grouch & Eligh, Hangar 18, Blueprint, and Lucky I Am.
