If you go to ituneslive.co.uk/backstage-with-foals/ you will find a photo gallery from Foals' performance at the iTunes Live festival at Koko, along with a link to a free podcast, where you can hear what Foals had to say about the gig.
Cajun Dance Party now have a real blog at Cajundanceparty.com/news/?blog. Bassist, Max Bloom, has just put his poem up from the band's recent tour, which is apparently "slightly better than 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'".

This is The Futureheads' new video for 'Walking Backwards'. The band are depicted as rather disturbing puppets, not unlike the Muppets.

Bloc Party Bassist Replaced (Temporarily)
Bloc Party bassist, Gordon Moakes, has announced that he will not be joining the rest of the band during the next month or so of touring the US. His wife is expecting their first baby in a few weeks, so his flying all over the world would be something of an inconvenience at this point in time. Instead he will be "buying the groceries, attending ante-natal classes and generally preparing myself for the cloud of unknown that is becoming a Dad".
Replacing him over this time will be Daniel Lindegren (aka Tommy Sparks). Apparently he is more than proficient, so shouldn't effect anyone's enjoyment of the upcoming shows too much. All being well, Gordon will return to his position around the end of August, so possibly in time for Reading and Leeds.

Bands With Videos
Cajun Dance Party have posted the video for 'Colourful Life' at Cajundanceparty.tv. It's filmed while driving at night, and every light that gets into the shot is surrounded by a coloured heart. It looks quite cool.
Here's The Pigeon Detectives' video for, crappest single yet, 'Everybody Wants Me'. The video's quite interesting though - basically moving holiday photos, but not in the same way as The Streets' 'Fit But You Know It'.
The Pigeon Detectives - Everybody Wants Me
And here's Late Of The Pier's video for 'Heartbeat'. It's a strange one, surprisingly enough, featuring lots of falls in strange directions, like when they're running through all the doors in Monsters Inc.
