Pete Doherty's acting debut in Confession Of A Child Of The Century has been given scathing reviews by critics.

Black Sabbath made their live return on Saturday night (May 19) with a homecoming gig at Birmingham's O2 Academy.

Guns N' Roses kicked off their UK and Ireland tour at The O2 in Dublin last night [May 17] with a near three-hour set that did not conclude until just after 1:15am. Pyrotechnics, six costume changes, a cover of the Pink Panther theme tune and the band's now traditional late arrival on stage marked the 21-song set that got underway at 10:25pm - nearly an hour and a half after the band's expected stage time.

Sir Paul discusses the end of the Fab Four and a new group…

The weather has turned out glorious in Brighton on the second day of The Great Escape – but Friday's bill at Club Uncut is of a decidely darker bent.

May comes round again, and with it another Great Escape, one of the year's most satisfying festivals – not only because of its setting in Brighton's many beautiful venues, but because we at Uncut are again putting on our own three nights of some of the most interesting new bands around.

In case you missed them yesterday, I’ve embedded the two new Animal Collective tracks after the jump. Back into relative focus after the “Transverse Temporal Gyrus” thing, and with Avey Tare seemingly to the the fore; he almost seems to be rapping at the start of “Honeycomb”.

Damon Albarn has hinted that there could be another Gorillaz album without his partner, Jamie Hewlett.

He said:

Plenty to be getting on with here, but a couple of things before I run this week’s list. First up, after all the talk (plugs own blog once more), Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s “Oh Susannah” is out there. Video after the jump.

Bright Eyes mainman Conor Oberst is to open his own bar in his home state of Omaha. The singer, who released his latest album The People's Key in early 2011, is planning the venture with friend and fellow Omaha musician, Phil Schaffart. The bar, which will not host live music, is set to be named The Pageturners Lounge after the bookshop which previously inhabited the space. Oberst and Schaffert bought the premises in February.
