CSS (feat. Bobby Gillespie) - Hits Me Like a Rock
Dismissed by many as being no more than a bunch of art & design school kids flirting with the world of pop, few would have predicted seeing them making any kind of a return amid rumours of inner-turmoil and acrimony. It's good to have them back though, with a song perfect for BG's lazy vocal and the summertime.

RM Hubbert @ Bold Street Coffee
Fresh from a support slot on Mogwai's recent European tour, the Scotsman lands in Liverpool this Friday to perform his acoustic guitar 'sketches' in a free gig. Expect an affecting and intimate performance from the idiosyncratic (in a good way) craftsman.

Cowboys & Aliens
It's a B-movie, but not as we know it. Director Jon Favreau is carving out something of a niche for himself in Hollywood, with movies that on the face of it are all kinds of wrong, or at the very least could end up that way (but rarely do). I'm thinking in particular Elf, the Iron Man franchise and now this. Telling the story of an alien craft invading Earth in the late 19th Century, this has summer pop-corn movie hi-jinx written all over it.
