Paul Weller becomes Mercury favourite
The past 10 days has seen an extraordinary amount of column inches devoted to betting practices and corruption. It's been a sad period for cricket but nevertheless there is some more betting-related news that is bound to cheer us up! Paul Weller has become the clear favourite to take tomorrow's Mercury Prize with his odds being chopped from 20/1 to 10/1 which is, if I calculate correctly, 200 times more likely (via The Guardian).»

Listen: Hear four remixes of Broken Social Scene's 'All To All'

Watch: Arcade Fire live at Hackney Empire
How many Arcade Fire videos have there been in the last few days? A lot, that's how many. Here's another, by the way, and if not the best of the lot, it's still actually quite decent.

Dirty Projectors announce bigger Bitte Orca and UK date
Some call them hipsters. I say they are gravely misguided. The people who call them hipsters, that is, not the actually band in question, which is Dirty Projectors. They have confirmed the release of an expanded edition of last year's Bitte Orca, which includes a whole new disc. They've also confirmed a London date for later in the year. »
Huoratron - Prevenge
I'm not sure how much is known around the world about the Finnish producer type fellow named Huoratron, aka Aku Raski. Most likely not a great deal on these shores, this being his debut UK release. Judging solely by the picture accompanying his press release he's a very stern man indeed. »

James Murphy: Never saying never to more LCD Soundsystem
James Murphy is such a bloody tease, isn't he? Well, either that or the music press read far too much into his throwaway statements. Oh, here we go again! There was that time last year when he was chucking around statements indicating that the current LCD Soundsystem album would be the last and one last tour etc. etc. but it isn't all dead. Oh no. »
