How was your bank holiday? Here at GUM, we bank links instead of holidays. Music-related links. Today, we deposited these ones for you:
· A French blogger posts a post-Sarkozy-win playlist. Can you figure out who he voted for by the tracks?
· We hear through the internet-vine that you can stream the entire Elliott Smith album over at MySpace. (That's the new one comprised of b-sides and unreleased tracks.)
· It's here. It's real. It's Guns 'N Roses' Chinese Democracy. We're not even kidding.
· Are you up on your singles and album charts? Beyonce and Shakira and the Arctic Monkeys are unshakable!
· Tori Amos has moved the English language forward: MILF is now MILX. But what's the X stand for? X-Ray? Xylophone? Xenogamy?
· In the battle of Trinidad versus Akon, who will win?
