Read it and weep:

1. The Walkmen kicked ass with "The Rat" on Letterman this week. But dammit if Hamilton Leithauser doesn't look just like Ed Vedder ... clenched jaw, psycho-white-guy stare, sensible haircut.

2. Stare at this photo without reading the text. See if you recognize her in the slightest. And no, it's NOT Celine Dion. (lindsayism)

3. Listen to Nickelback's songs simultaneously ... one in the left speaker, one in the right. Laugh very hard.

Sure, there are cynics who claim these Canadian rockers have recorded the SAME song, but I prefer to think they have embarked on a surreal, psychedelic experiment to layer their entire catalogue into one easily digestible piece. When seven albums are complete, fans will be blessed with an orchestral melange of gravelly goatee'd howling.

4. In the latest Entertainment Weekly, oh-so-clever "Shaw Report" writer Jessica Shaw declares bushy beards "IN." This is presumably due to the release of Iron & Wine's new disc, "Our Endless Numbered Days." I don't own this yet, but they're great live.

5. First "Old School," then "Starsky & Hutch." Here's hoping these guys show up in every future Todd Phillips movie.

6. The not-quite-reliable-but-who-cares Popbitch claims that Christina Aguilera is a very disruptive hotel guest, if ya know what I mean. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. … Okay, it's sex. Really loud sex. (Luxury Fashion)

7. Johnny Marr replaces Buckethead in Guns N' Roses. Schweeeet!
