Hey there wilfers! Here are today's music-related links, specially prepared for you by the GUM team (in a nut-free establishment):

· Save the Album! Doesn't really have the same ring as Save the Whales, does it? Is it a worthy cause?
· In preparation for the upcoming dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip shows, thou shalt review their commandments. [Thanks to CJNB for emailing that in.]
· Four out of five Rosie Swashes have deemed this an excellent new Erasure track.
· Check out this studio footage from the making of Bjork's Volta. That's the name of her new album, you dirty-minded Fresh Linker!
· After we fresh-linked to the blog of Mike Smith, managing director of Columbia Records, we received this email: "Very disappointed to see a mike smith from the UK with a music blog that isn't me. I have a blog that solely covers new British music - and it has mp3s for all the bands. No pencil drawings I'm afraid. It can be found at Nothingbutgreenlights.net. Deal or no deal?"
Deal!
All Mike Smiths with blogs (and everyone else), please send your fresh links to kelly.nestruck@guardian.co.uk.
