• Popdose looks at the effect $#*! My Dad Says will have on television.

Music News

• Pixies will be doing an eleven-city tour of North America, during which they'll play Doolittle in its entirety. And like most bands, they'll pretend North Carolina doesn't exist.
• No Live Nation fees during the month of June!
• The cover for M.I.A.'s upcoming album gives me a headache.
