Beirut and Joan As Police Woman. Pretty darn happy with that. Nice one Sofia.

And nice to see the much-maligned and staff-sacking MySpace still being first port of call for music fans on the web..

From Music Week yesterday:

'MySpace for sale'

'Just two days after the announcement that half of its global staff were being laid off, Myspace looks likely to be put up for sale.'

Arghhhh so excited. Just add Sufjan Stevens and Andrew Bird as the other two headliners and I'm spent. Looking forward to Dry The River, Wild Beasts - correction, pretty much everyone. Headless chicken time.
