Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you compile your tearful Jason Castro video tribute. My sweet dreaded angel, may your mellow never be harshed again.

The Little Ones are all about making mighty pop music, and telling Astralwerks to suck it.
MP3:
The Little Ones - Tallies

Looks like someone owes Mick Collins and the Dirtbombs a frosty round of Guinness. I’m glad we ran this article instead of my piece where I offer the band a round of delicious Zimas.
MP3:
The Dirtbombs - Wreck My Flow

We wrote a glowing article on Robyn, who then thanked us by canceling her Portland show. I’m going to throw myself off a bridge now.
MP3:
Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches

Despite what her songs says, she is not bit-ter like a lemon, instead Kate Nash is totally sweet and loves Roald Dahl. O to the M to the G!
MP3:
Kate Nash - Foundation

While they are supposedly just “touring,” the real reason the Duke Spirit are returning to Portland is to bust the skulls of those jerks who stole their equipment the last time they came through town. Kill! Kill! Kill!
MP3:
Duke Spirit - Dog Roses
