  1. Great (albeit possibly crazy) theory: Renegade street artist Banksy is actually Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack.
  2. How The Monkees managed to cement their legacy after starting their career as a musical piss-take.
  3. The headphones that filter out noise but not human voices. Interesting.
  4. Is Starship’s “We Built This City” the worst song of all time? I understand the case. (Via Tom)
  5. Could Kim Deal be coming back to the Pixies? Is a peace deal imminent? Maybe.
  6. Looks like Soundgarden might be making that new album they’ve been promising for years.  The 90s are good and truly back.
