Ever drink too many MGDs and wake up with a bar band�s $15, self-released CD in your jacket the succeeding morning? Then you put it on and think, �Man, these guys were way better when I was tanked?� Deborah Bonham (yes, the Led Zeppelin drum god�s little sis) is that prevention band and �Duchess� is that bibulous purchase. She can sing, the vapours originals aren�t half bad and after a few beers you might be caught saying the band really cooks. But unplayful, every Led Zeppelin - heck, every Firm album - is better. To hear a Paul Rodgers duet featuring a soft Jason Bonham on drums and an ill-conceived mention to �Dancing Days,� download �Hold On.�

"The Middleman": saving the world with tongue in cheek
One of the enduring attractions of comic books and graphic novels is the ease with which they explain the universe. Evil is identifiable, external and fairly simple to vanquish with the application of the appropriate superpowers.
And sometimes, as in the case of ABC Family's new comic-based series "The Middleman," evil is downright funny.
In "Middleman's" first episode, a slimy, many-eyed, multitentacled creature erupts in a DNA laboratory. Later, evil's personification is a mobster ape with a machine gun.
"The Middleman" — written as a graphic novel by Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who has also written for the series "Lost" and "Medium" — stars Matt Keeslar in the title role, a straight-arrow, milk-drinking former member of the Navy SEALs who stands between us and horrors we're not even aware of, fighting evil "so you don't have to." Early on, he explains the world to his protégé.
"You know how in comic books there's all kinds of mad scientists and aliens and androids and monsters who want to either take over or destroy the world?" he asks. "Well, it really does work like that."
This is news to Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales), an art-school graduate and temp secretary whose calm in the face of the multitentacled slime creature — she stabs it with a letter opener — inspires the Middleman to recruit her.
"You're good under pressure," he says.
She asks, "Are you hitting on me?" There is some sexual tension, but you hope it won't become a big part of the story; there's much more interesting material here. "Middleman" is full of hilarious throwaways, as when our hero, preparing to drink a glass of "cool, refreshing milk" with some bad guys, empties his pockets — of grenades, flamethrowers and a crossbow.
"Middleman" skillfully incorporates real-life details. Its characters live the kinds of lives that people read comic books to escape from.
"Did I get any calls?" Wendy asks her roommate.
Roommate: "Yeah. Your mom called to ask if you're a lesbian."
That would be the mom whom Wendy describes as "on me 24/7 to quit painting, move back to Orlando, meet a good man, eat fried foods, swell up like a tick and start squeezing out calves like Elsie mainlining fertility drugs."
Then there's the motive of the mad scientist who created the gun-toting ape; she's just trying to compensate for federal cuts to her research grants. Saving the world is easy; making a world as complex and funny as this one is the real feat of "Middleman."

Angelina & Brad Bicker Over Baby Names?
With the birth of their twins only weeks away, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly having trouble agreeing on what to call the new additions to the Jolie-Pitt clan.
It seems that a major sticking point is Brad's lack of enthusiasm for Angie's suggestions - and we must admit, we're kind of with him on this.
The actor is said to have KO'd the names Castor and Pollox (after Angie's birth sign) as he doesn’t want a daughter with a name that sounds “like a British cuss word”.
It's believed that the heavily pregnant actress is due to give birth in as little as two weeks.
The couple already have three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, and a biological daughter, Shiloh, 2.

Frat's pick up tasty support act
WHEN I end up smashed in a kebab shop I come out with chips. But THE FRATELLIS
left their local one with the support act for their album launch.
The Scots trio plucked the resident guitarist from kebab joint Marathon in
Camden, North London.
The lucky musician — known as Dan The Marathon Man — then found himself
playing at Camden venue Dingwalls as he opened for the trio.
The Glaswegians played eight songs from their forthcoming album Here We Stand
during the intimate gig.
The new material — including Heady Tale, Shameless and new single Mistress
Mabel — were all well received.
I predict the album will be a big hit when it’s released on June 9.
But the biggest cheer of the night was saved for their last song — hit Chelsea
Dagger. It has become a live classic.
It was like being at Stamford Bridge, Parkhead or any other ground which has
robbed it as the song to mark a goal.

'The Mighty Boosh' recruit their hero to play comedy team's festival
'The Mighty Boosh' boys have booked their hero Gary Numan to play their festival on July 5 at Kent's Hop Farm.
White Denim, Polar Bear and The Charlatans are also set to play.
Speaking about the electro legend, who had a guest appearance in the last series, the Boosh's Noel Fielding said: "Having Gary on board is mental! He is a hero of mine and was always a first choice, having him perform at our festival is almost surreal."
Adding that they are headlining the festival themselves, Fielding said: "We've never played a music festival before and a comic has never headlined at a festival before so we are seizing the opportunity and doing both!"

Man Man engenders experimental rock at Paradise
So you thought kids these days are only into metal and alternative rock? Then you should have seen the Paradise on Saturday, when a pair of experimental bands played to a sold-out crowd of mostly young, collegiate types.
Though the band’s set left a mixed impression, it’s always good to see such an oddball outfit as Philadelphia’s Man Man getting attention (touring with Modest Mouse probably helped). The sextet is all about sonic barrage: Songs began with tribal percussion and morphed into demented carnival music as band members switched from guitars to horns. Chants in various languages interrupted the more tuneful moments. Keyboardist Honus Honus presided at stage front, looking a cross between a ritual shaman and Weird Al Yankovic. There were usually two drum kits going at once, and some songs ended with the whole band clanging on percussion, swinging plastic tubes.
The instrumental onslaught was overwhelming and usually fun; it just didn’t seem there was any artistic point behind it. After an hour Man Man’s weirdness felt calculated, which set the group apart from such genuine visionaries as Pere Ubu and Captain Beefheart.
Brooklyn’s Yeasayer was a lot more traditional, relying on mundane things like songwriting and emotion. Not that its sound was easy to classify: the outfit is clearly rooted in progressive rock with an icy modern edge. But the group never stayed in one place too long: All four members sang and they’d layer harmonies over keyboard soundscapes, exploring different territories with loops and samples. Yet the songs were sharp and melodic (the closing, “Sunrise,” felt like an alternative hit waiting to happen) and band mates seemed more concerned with getting the melodies across than showcasing their chops.
Also impressive was Yeasayer’s staging. The band performed in darkness while a surreal images were projected behind it. True, some of Yeasayer’s songs could be tightened a bit, and singer Chris Keating (who looks like a younger, more tortured John Waters) could tone down his twitchy stage moves. But this was one of the more promising bands to hit town this year.
