KARL WALLINGER, the former Waterboys multi-instrumentalist who became the sole member of the successful ’80s and ’90s psych-pop project World Party has died at 66.  A nice video selection at the link.

BLUE SWEDE: "Hooked on a Feeling," introduced by the late Don Kirshner. Ooga-Chucka.

NEW RELEASES: Paste will point you to Bleachers, Kim Gordon, and more.

BILL'S INDIE BASEMENT has Astrel K, Meatbodies, and more.

THE OSCARS went to these folks. Congrats.  Here's the high point. Or maybe this was it.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Kung Fu Panda 4 tops the chart with 55MM, a strong opening and one likely to be leggy given the relative lack of family fare on big screens right now.  Dune: Part Two places with 44MM on a 47 percent drop, which is strong for a tentpole and roughly similar to what happened with Oppenheimer last year.  Imaginary shows with 9.3MM, which is a little below predictions, but against a 10MM budget, it's probably fine.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with ROCKPILE, a band that featured old pals Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds cranking out the rootsy pub rock. Let's start with "Teacher, Teacher" and "I Knew the Bride," along with this clip of "Heart," featuring Billy Bremner, which is odd at the start.  And here's the band rolling through Lowe's "So It Goes," and "Heart of the City," plus a cover of Elvis Costello's and "Girls Talk," which many associate more with Edmunds.
