Some highlights from the past seven or so days you might have been cousin-of-deathing on: Berlin grime vids, the new Bun B LP, updates on the whereabouts of Fire*Eaters and Evan Dandos, Dungen downloads, new Kenna songs, and yes, the Snowman.

As for the rest of the weekend – yes, there is still some left! – we’re gonna be all over this, but Seattlites can check FADER fave Hugh Masekela at the Triple Door, LA homies can KCRW the damn thing with Teenage Fanclub at Knitting Factory, and everybody in the 313 can pretend the last Le Tigre record didn’t really happen whilst getting down to “Hot Topic” and “Deceptacon” at St Andrews Hall.
