The Runout Groove has a darker, woozyer unreleased remix of Pulp - This Is Hardcore (Permanent Darkness Mix) that you should get while you can. There's all kinds of other Pulp madness on that site as well.

A friend's quite succinct review of Dandi Wind:

"Dandi Wind just makes me feel ugly inside"

Yup, thats about right. Her last EP was called "Break the Bone and Suck the Marrow From It" after all.

Bill Simmons answers the mail:

Q: Where does the MTV show "Yo Momma" rank on the Unintentional Comedy Scale? -- Eddie D., Charlotte, N.C.

The show itself ranks in the high 70s, Wilmer's hosting job ranks in the mid-90s, and the part when Wilmer says, "Dis is your show ... YO MAMMA!" and crosses his arms over his chest is a solid 100. That kills me. It's never NOT funny.

Daft Punk has made a movie called Electroma:

"Daft Punk's 'Electroma' is visual and musical which follows the history of two robots in their search to become human."

I just hope they throw in the line "Why?! Why was I programmed to feel pain?!"

Also a near soundboard quality recording of their much talked about Coachella performance has surfaced.
