• Spinner has a list of 20 bad songs by good bands. For the most part, it seems they just picked notable singles by bands we've all heard of and arbitrarily anointed them bad. Because Blondie's "Rapture" (no. 20) is awesome. As is Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" (no. 12) (I have an uncle Gus, so as a child, me and my sisters found endless amusement in this song). I'll give them Weezer's "Beverly Hills" (no. 16) and Madonna's "American Life" (no. 4), though.
• Idolator has a shorter and more accurate list of Five Bad Album Titles.
• Are you sick of Britney yet? Me neither! Here are some unreleased tracks. Apparently, she tried to go a funkier, R&B route ("Baby Boy") and was denied.
• The Mountain Goats, John Oliver, Rock Plaza Central, Dave Hill and more in one show? Yes, please. Brooklyn Vegan has the details on this benefit concert for AIDS Walk NY.
• Stereogum has news of a new single by Miles Kurosky. Who's Miles Kurosky, you ask? Why, the ex-lead singer of Beulah, of course. Who's Beulah, you ask? Oh, honey. You're missing out ...
• Over at 17 Dots, they're explaining the "Brooklyn Scene" to a baffled Minnesotan. Go add your voice.
• New Beck! Maybe soon!
