THE DRUMS: "Forever and Ever, Amen" is a nice jumpstart to a summer week.

BONNAROO: NPR was all over it, so there are sets from the Flaming Lips, The National, Dead Weather, the Avett Bros., Mumford & Sons, the Postellesthe Dodos, Mayer Hawthorne and more streaming on demand.

DEVO is streaming Something For Everybody via Colbert Nation (check the sidebar).

GORILLAZ stopped by the World Cafe for a chat and mini-set.

MOUNTAIN GOATS: The Salt Lake Tribune talks to Peter Hughes and gets e-mail from John Darnielle.

LOS CAMPESINOS! Gareth talks to PopMatters about God, songwriting, death, and growing up.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Karate Kid wins the weekend with 56 million on a 40 million budget. That's way above the 30-35 million the tracking numbers suggested going into the weekend, and much bigger than a lot of would-bes like Prince of Persia and Sex & the City 2. Apparently, families were ready to move on from Shrek. The A-Team underperforms almost as much as Kaarate Kid overperformed, coming in second with a mere 26 million on a 110 million budget (and a similar 35 million tracking number).  Shrek Forever After finally drops from the top slot to the third, with 15.8 million, showing the boost that hangining on to those 3-D screens provides.  Toy Story 3's arrival Friday could be devastating to the ogre.  Get Him to the Greek drps to the fourth slot with 10.1 million; it will likley fall short of Forgetting Sarah Marshall's total, while costing a bit more to make.  Killers rounds out the Top Five (probably undeservedly so) with 8.1 million.

CHARLIE SHEEN is going to have a hard time nabbing the plea deal he thought he was getting, because the sheriff ain't budging.

Russia has frozen the sale of S-300 air defense missiles to Iran. Factional infighting fuelled by a series of splits since the vote was exposed as rigged last year have come to a head with a row over an attack on attack on the family of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of Iran's Islamic revolution.
