Smashing Pumpkins frontman goes on the offensive during album promo...

To Cargo, earlier this week, for what I think might have been one of my favourite gigs of the year. I wrote about Xylouris White and their "Goats" album a few weeks ago, but even that excellent record was scant preparation for Jim White and George Xylouris' incandescent live show.

Paul McCartney has discussed his plans for retirement, telling Rolling Stone he will step away from the spotlight when he feels like it. "...the answer to 'Are you going to retire?' is 'When I feel like it'. But that's not today."

Before we get onto the list, a big thank you to everyone who engaged with the Mumfords/class/hate/Glastonbury 2013/Stones/etc blog yesterday, and a quick plug for the new issue of Uncut, out tomorrow in the UK (Alongside all the marquee stuff, I’ve written a piece about the new Tropicalia doc).

Keith Richards has admitted he owes library fines going back 50 years. Richard told The Sun that hanging out by the bookshelves was one of his favourite pastimes as a teenager. "It was a place where you get a hint there was a place called civilization," he said of the library in Dartford, Kent. "I still owe fines from about 50 years ago." According to the newspaper, the cost could be as much as £20,000.
