Let’s take a gander at what else is happenin’:

• Beck premieres three brilliant new songs from Modern Guilt on iLike
• List Time: Ten Screaming Guitar-Driven Songs From the Motor City
• The MTV Video Music Awards will return to Los Angeles on Sept. 7
• Brooklyn Vegan shares photos from Gogol Bordello’s gig at the pool
• Greg Kot isn’t impressed by the Felice Brothers’ self-titled 2nd album
• Stereogum’s OldStand dusts off the November 1990 issue of Spin
• Tenacious D will help honor The Who at the VH-1 Rock Honors show

Finally, we’ve been blahging for about 21 months and we’ve never mentioned Usher once. But we couldn’t resist posting this video of the Showbiz Pizza band dropping Love In The Club. Now if we can just get someone to program the animatronics to play along with Zappa’s Dinah-Moe Humm we’ll be in business.

Just thought we’d point you in the direction of The Weight who seemed to have stumbled on the early scoop about this year’s Bonnaroo SuperJam. They do their best Woodward and Bernstein by tying together the odd rumor that Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, Kirk Hammett and Les Claypool will be teaming up for a set of Tom Waits covers in Manchester. Nice work boys!
