Hell Yes

BeckAny Beck sightings this weekend? He's opening for The Rolling Stones tomorrow night at Rogers Centre and he'll be doing an interview at The Edge studios tomorrow at 3 pm EST. Out-of-towners can listen online. I hadn't had any reasons to go downtown this weekend so unfortunately missed any potential Beck sightings. It'd have been cool if he performed an impromptu acoustic set like he did in New York CitySan Francisco at a Mexican Restaurant this past July. In Toronto, perhaps a Tim Hortons?[photo from www.beck.com]

Chartattack spoke to Beck who is a little vague on what fans can expect from him when he opens for The Rolling Stones tomorrow. No weirdness(a la his past tour with The Flaming Lips). As Beck puts it, "It's definitely going to be more of a... I don't know how to characterize it. There'll be interesting things occurring at certain points."

If you miss Beck, you can always catch M.I.A. who'll be stopping by MuchMusic as a guest on MuchOnDemand tomorrow at 5 pm EST. [info via Just Keep Bloggin']

Teenage Fanclub were on Swedish radio, Sveriges Radio P3 - P3 Live for a close-to-an-hour long session. Listen here(link valid only until Sept 30th). I don't know Swedish but from what I could make out on the radio statio website, there's a date of 2005-07-05 which might actually be the date the session was recorded. However, the radio station broadcast the session this past Friday September 23rd. [via Teenage Fanclub messageboard]
