WILCO did an all -covers show  atth e Solid Sound festival, including Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," Pavement's "Cut Your Hair," and the Replacements' "Color Me Impressed" with a cameo from Tommy Stinson.And here's the audio for their cover of Television's "Marquee Moon."

WEEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Monsters University scares up 82 million to top the chart in what is shaping up as a boffo cinema summer.  That's about 20 million better than Monsters Inc's Nov. 2001 debut (which should be expected) and better than either Brave or Cars 2, which should ease any anxiety at Pixar (at least until "Planes" lands later this summer, which seems dubious to me). World War Z places with 66 million, the second-biggest second-place ever (just behind The Day After Tomorrow).  This was a troubled production but now looks to be a decent hit for Brad Pitt and the undead.  Man Of Steel shows with 41.2 million but that 65 percent drop seems a mite steep, even given its lofty opening.  This Is The End dropped to No. 4 with 13 million, but that 37 percent drop suggests it played well again this weekend as counter-programming to the bigger pics.  Indeed, the same could be said of NowYou See Me, which rounds out the Top 5 with another 7.9 million.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY: Pixar did not mess up its Monsters franchise with this prequel, which is more than you can say for Cars 2.  The tale of how Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan became a great scare team was a great deal of fun. It even has some fairly complex things to say about the virtues and limits of the work ethic.  I's a bit more emotionally shallow than the origina, but still a very solid effort.

WORLD WAR Z: Given its history and deviations from Max Brooks' source material, I had fairly low expectations for this.  But WWZ exceeded them easily, which made for a solid double-feature on Saturday.  Brad Pitt's characterization is left a bit vague, and we tend to not care about the other characters, but the undead action here is sufficiently sweeping to hold your attention.
