A few things that've come up since the paper came out:

• The Buzzcocks are going to be at The Republik on Saturday, May 29, playing the entirety of their first two albums, plus a handful of other tunes. I got to see them a couple of years ago at a summer festival in England, and I've gotta say, it was awesome, and not just because I was the youngest person in the mosh pit by a solid 20 years. Anyone who's cared about pop-punk in the last 30 years owes it to themselves to check this out. (Plus, it's an early show, so no excuses for old-timers).

Next up, Arts & Crafts is offering a stream of a few tracks off the new Broken Social Scene album, so if you're curious what that's all about... um... just listen to it, I guess.

And, in a nod to our sister paper in Edmonton, See Magazine, they've run a pair of interesting interviews with some acts that are coming to Calgary this weekend. There's a chat with The Pointed Sticks (who've been doing Buzzcocks-esque pop and punk since the late '70s, and will be at The Marquee Room this Saturday), and one with Goodbye Beatdown, a band that features Roberto Luongo's cousin, and'll be at the Rusty Cage tonight.

Lastly, if you have any interest whatsoever in hypnotically awful cinema, you must must must go see The Room at the Plaza on Thursday, April 1 or Sunday, April 4. This article from the AV Club explains the appeal better than I ever could, but you can also just watch the clips below for the staggering awfulness The Room promises:
