It's Friday. Your boss has taken the day off. Really, what's stopping you from following these music-related links that the GUM team have collated for you?
· The news blog was already on this, but it bears repeating: MC Rove.
· Here is some new music from Art Brut (via theblarge). Not quite our favourite group ever, but they were popular with a German we used to work with - and that's enough.
· The Beastie Boys are back! And they've announced their backness by means of a funny list! It's sick!
· You're never alone with an MIA and while we count down to the release of new material here's some dirty remixes to be going on with.
· A harp, a kazoo and a song about hairnets. What's not to love?
· If Cajun Dance Party lived in Alberta, they wouldn't be able to play in bars anymore. They would probably still be able to drink underage, though.
