  4. In case you weren’t already sure, here’s some tour video to further prove: these guys have a good time.

  8. The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne continues to prove his insane coolness: on the morning of his 51st birthday three strangers showed up at his house in OK, having driven from CA with a present for him.

  9. In a rare proper music video from Wilco, “Dawned on Me” has been given the first hand-drawn Popeye cartoon since 1987. A tale of love and jealousy, we see Popeye trying to distract the love of his life, Olive Oyl, from falling for frontman Jeff Tweedy. She, of course, goes for the rock star.

  10. After an awkward moment in the shower together, Portland boys Red Fang host an air guitar competition for world domination. From last year’s Murder the Mountains.
