Steven Seagal has been sued for $14 million for showing up late and leaving early while shooting "Today You Die".

Name of the first McBain movie: "Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die"

I still think I'm the world's only Steven Seagal fan. So bad, yet so good. C'mon, have you seen Exit Wounds? He's stuck in a dead end in an alley and there's a car barrelling at him. What do you do? Of course you run towards the car and jump over it. Or in Under Siege 2 when the train is going down and he's casually jogging off it. That's gold.

Having just paid $6000 for his prosthetics, Ronny actually cared a lot.

'Brangelina' Could Be Box-Office Gold. Brangelina? I prefer Bradgina.

Jagjaguwar's been on a role since last year's Pink Mountaintops record. They've posted the video for Okkervil River - For Real. It's also available in MP3 format.

Amazing video, amazing song. Will Sheff shows so much control with his voice here. He could have easily gone off in a Bright Eyes shouting manner, but he demonstrates such restraint that it contrasts perfectly against the sad and violent lyrics.

This is the third week in a row I've mentioned Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy.

For Destroyer completists like Catbirdseat, Six Eyes has a song from Vancouver Nights featuring Dan Bejar.

Destroyer will be opening for The New Pornographers here in Vancouver at the Commodore in September, which means Dan might actually come out and play a few songs with the Pornographers for once. Expect to hear a bunch of songs about Jackie. Hopefully Frog Eyes is the backing band for Destroyer again.

Because I have a blog and talk about music, I'm required by law to mention that Annie - Anniemal was released this week in North America. She's Kylie Minogue for MP3 bloggers.

So damn cute. Watch her sing to herself in the video for Chewing Gum.

Apparently some other records came out this week too.

One Louder - The Gigocracy: a guide to the hierarchy found at indie rock shows.

The Tall - Anyone taller than 6'0". Besides the drunk, one of the most feared classes. The tall ignore the sad fate of shorter people and block clear views of the stage. Odds are, the more you want to see a band, the greater the chances of you standing behind a pack of tall dudes. Especially onerous are the tall who wear hats, have an afro or dreads. The tall normally travel in groups and thus present one of the most difficult obstacles to viewing and enjoying a gig. Since they can already see the stage, the tall should stay to the side or the back of the audience or stand against a post or pillar.

I'm tall and usually stick to the sides. But if you're a short girl and behind me bitching about my height, it's your own fault for not asking me if you can get in front.
