Fresh links: the music breakfast of champions

There is some debate among the GUM staff: Should it be "the music breakfast of champions" or "the musical breakfast of champions"? We've ruled out "music-related" for flow reasons, so don't even suggest it.

Anyway, here are your daily links to make you thinks [sic]:

· Blogger Aaron Wherry suggests that the proposed giant Michael Jackson robot in Las Vegas may be "the Statue of Liberty for a new millennium". Discuss.

· Hilarity ensues on this Radiohead message board when some fans are tricked into thinking the band is releasing their next album on the Starbucks record label.

· In slightly more credible-sounding Radiohead news, there is a rumour that the band will play the Zodiac in Oxford when it re-opens in September.

· Leave them kids alone, Simon.

· Can you crack the White Stripes' puzzle?

· Groove Armada return next month with a new single, Get Down, but you can listen to it now on their MySpace - with a particular recommendation going to Calvin Harris's squelchy disco mix.

· Are you a Snoop Dogg fan, disappointed by the cancelled concerts? Well, you can still go see him and P Diddy in Dublin, where they have slightly less-stringent rules about who can enter the country. How could you not, given this tidbit from the Belfast Telegraph: "[Snoop] said both he and P Diddy had been rehearsing the Irish-American rap anthem Jump Around by House of Pain especially for Dublin to round off 'the hottest show ever'."

· If you haven't been watching American Idol (and let's face it, there are other things to do on a Friday night), then you may not have seen Sanjaya. A frighteningly confident young man who's had a Heather Mills-like effect on the US TV audience, he also changes hairstyle pretty much every show. Click to see this week's shocker.
