Play.com are currently running a Best Of The 90s sale with albums and best-ofs from some of the best bands of the 90s from only £2.99 shipped. $6 in the US might get you a new album, but here we can't even pick up stuff in charity shops for that little so it ain't bad. Anyway...

The band is currently working on their third album in Vancouver with Franz Ferdinand's frontman Alex Kapranos as producer. He was hired for the producer job after The Cribs' supported Franz Ferdinand on their US tour last year.I chose this song from the album because, well, I like it...Bonus: Their debut 7" single Another Number from 2003 can be downloaded from their website. But be warned - it's not as good as their recent stuff.

Bob Mould, the genius behind seminal post-punk outfit Husker Du as well as the guiding force behind 90s alternative-rock heavyweight Sugar, will tour the U.S starting March 5th. The tour will feature both classic material from Moulds considerable body of work, as well as new songs from his forthcoming Anti- debut, District Line, hailed by USA Today as a return to melodic, hypnotic rock for the Husker Du/Sugar eminence.

The Arctic Monkeys are undoutably the biggest band from England right now. I did went to see them play live here and I was actually more impressed with their opening band, Be Your Own Pet, which are a few underage kids (the youngest being 18 years old). But what they offer is a little showmenship, as they jump and dance around as they sing (I mean, scream) their songs.

They got their name from Betty & Veronica from Archie Comics. Archie Comics, the evil empire as it is, sued these girls. They settled out of court. [Just a note, I've hated Archie Comics since I found out that they had denied Jose & The Pussycats' creator and "Archie-style creator" Dan DeCarlo credit and money :(]

I've always been fond of this music genre, which started in the early 90s through music and fanzines. The origin of the name seems to have come from Jen Smith (Bratmobile) writing a letter to Allison Wolfe about how the Summer of 1991 was going "to be a girl riot." Soon afterwards, Wolfe, Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail were inspired to create a fanzine called Riot Grrrl.

A friend of mine asked me to check out this errie music video for "What's a Girl To Do" by Bat for Lashes. My first thought was of how remiscent it is of the film Donnie Darko (especially with the fellow in the bunny mask).
