Fans of The Gossip will enjoy this NME quote-and-photo spread starring the always outspoken and generally delightful Beth Ditto. Music for Men releases digitally tomorrow, although people holding some romantic notion of keeping it real with the vinyl will have to wait until October.
You know what I completely forgot about? The Walkmen are playing Pitchfork. But Japandroids are playing at the same time! Tough choices, although my real problem is there is about four hours of lag time between bands I'm interested in seeing on Saturday.

And I could always play connect the dots with the random shirtless dude in front of me's back acne. That killed some time at Lollapalooza last year.
