>>> Every minute that Courtney Love continues to draw breath is a minute in which Beretta 76 (pictured) becomes a much, much more attractive option to those looking for nicotine-stained sweet rock ‘n’ roll nothings. The Man is even catching on: On Sunday at 9am and noon, Action News will take a break from fearmongering to the poor and hopeless, and throw the spotlight on the group. You know why? Because the news is showbiz, too. B76, please be sure do like the Sex Pistols and say something filthy. [MySpace]
>>> No longer merely content to sing their praises in the New York Times, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is now taking Dr. Dog on the road. The group just got added to seven (that we know of) of Wilco’s September tour dates. Sorry, Tweedists: No Philly date yet. We’ll see what we can dig up on that, though. [Pitchfork]
>>> The A-Sides told us not to link to their feature as Spin.com’s band of the day, because the piece compares them to — oh, the horror! — The Beach Boys. Wait, what? It doesn’t say that at all. But it does use the word “Philebrities,” which is funny. But whatever: The A-Sides are Spin.com’s band of the day. It’s a good thing. [Spin.com]
BONUS ROUND: This one nearly slipped through the cracks entirely: Man Man get a turn doing the theme song to Showtime’s Weeds, the show we mean to watch if we could only remember that we actually have Showtime. What’s the over or under on this one featuring a toy piano? We’re feelin’ lucky. [Stereogum]
