Check out the best links of the week

Last updated 11:21 09/07/2010

neon1. Maya - MIA: Everyone's waiting for it, so here it is - the full album stream of MIA's new album, the full title of which I can't be bothered typing out here. Album of the year or overhyped electro-guff? You can decide for yourself now...

2. Trailer: The Social Network: A film about Facebook sounds like a crap idea. But with David Fincher directing and Trent Reznor scoring the soundtrack, it can't be bad. Can it?

3. Breaking Bad sitcom: Funnyordie.com presents the sitcom version of torrid drug drama Breaking Bad. But be careful - if you haven't yet seen season three, this contains spoilers.

4. Twilight - Jersey Shore: Those overly tanned muppets from Jersey Shore re-enact Twilight. So two wrongs can make a right, huh?

5. Tiger - Maximum Balloon: The first single from TV on the Radio's main man Dave Sitek's side project Maximum Balloon is a fuzzed-out heart warmer.

6. CEO - Come with Me: Nice video to go with this feel-good summery anthem from the newly solo Tough Alliance front man. Hey, when it's this cold we need a dose of sun, right?

7. Kylie's a weather girl: And not a particularly good one at that.

8. Disconnect from Desire - School of Seven Bells: Two good-looking twins and a bloke make up this shoegaze act from New York. Listen to the album stream here now.

9. Trailer: Paranormal Activity 2: It's the new Saw, so get ready for a sequel every six months for the next six years.

10. Freak - Smashing Pumpkins: Okay, this is more like it. The fifth free track from Bald Billy and his band of merry men has a kick to it missing from the first four releases from his 44-track opus Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. Still, it's no Zero.

"Freak" isn't that great when it comes to a Smashing Pumpkins song. "Astral Planes" is just really all full of guitar riffs with repetitive lyrics. "A Stitch In Time" is pretty good. "Widow Wake My Mind" is alright, nothing special. As for "Song For A Son" well that's just stunning to listen too, as well as being the best song on there.

Regardless of it all, I'm still a fan but I wish Billy Corgan would go back to creating the kind of sound, that the band was originally known for in the past.

Loving M.I.A.'s /\/\/\Y/\ album at mo. That Illygirl track is tight, reminds me of the Mortal Kombat track but in a good way.
