Best links of the week

Last updated 10:38 19/03/2009

gomez1. Airstream Driver - Gomez: The most underrated band in the history of underrated bands returns with this inventive, up-tempo, slightly alt-country number - and is that a cowbell? - that has become my favourite song of the week. Is it time for them to get their dues? Download it for free here.

2. Ricky Gervais on Sesame Street: Leave poor Elmo alone, Ricky. And stop poking him. He doesn't deserve it.

3. Battle for the Sun - Placebo: Another ageing band return with another album and free download. It's pretty heavy. Get it here.

4. Serj Tankian and the APO: Some brief clips of this have started appearing on YouTube that offer further proof that if you didn't go, you really missed out on something special.

5. In Search of a Midnight Kiss trailer: It will restore your faith in indie films, apparently. I didn't know I'd lost it.

6. Alcoholics Unanimous - Art Brut: From the album Art Brut vs Satan, due April 20. Ish.

7. Up trailer: An extended trailer for the cartoon shenanigans of a little kid, a grumpy grandpa and a heap of balloons.

8. Angel of Death: This is supposed to be where you can watch short clips of Kiwi stuntwoman Zoe Bell kicking butt in her new film role. But I can't get it working. Can you?

Seen any links worth sharing?

Yes! Yes Yes Yes! Yes on the Gomez.

Whenever I get asked for my favourite bands, Gomez never comes to mind. But they really have to be right up there. Liquid Skin and Bring It On are albums that I can just go back to time and time again. And they've never had a bad album. Some average, but none bad. Can't wait for the new album to drop!
