THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with THE RAMONES o­n Don Kirshner's... Rock Concert circa May 1977. Part 1 includes: "Listen To My Heart"; "California Sun"; "Judy Is A Punk"; and "I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You." Part 2 includes: "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker"; "Loudmouth"; "Beat o­n the Brat"; and "Blitzkrieg Bop." Part 3 includes: "Glad To See You Go"; "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment"; "Rockaway Beach"; and "Commando."

THE PLANET ROCK ALBUM QUIZ requires you to identify artist and title from small bits of album cover art. Not easy, though being a teenage metalhead will help.

SLIPPED DISCS: The staff at PopMatters survey the overlooked albums of 2006, with plenty of audio and video, from artists as disparate as Roseanne Cash, Cheap Trick, Mission of Burma, Jay-Z and Van Hunt.

LOVE IS A MIXTAPE: And a battlefield, but that's a whole other thing. Sometimes. Anyway, the mixtape thing is a new book by Rolling Stone contributor Rob Sheffield traces his relationship with the love of his life through stacks of revealing, worn-out cassettes. There's an excerpt at the link.

THE DECEMBERISTS' Colin Meloy tells Drowned in Sound that he misses mixtapes, but my fave part of the interview is: "Q: Who would play you in a film based upon your life? A: Samantha Morton. That would be arty."

HOLD ON TO THAT FEELIN': L.A. Weekly joins "a mixed crowd of longhaired Samoans, classic-rock dudes, hair-metal queens, lesbians and a few hoochy mamas among the club's indie regulars, all out to catch Infinity, the mustachioed, female-fronted Journey cover band..." Fortunately, through the magic of YouTube, we can enjoy(?) the original lineup's "Don't Stop Believin'."

THE MAJESTIC TWELVE: Music journo Marc Hirsh writes that "On "Break It and Breathe" The Majestic Twelve filters an entire decade's worth of what was o­nce called 'college rock,' from Devo to Husker Du to Midnight Oil, into a little more than three and a half minutes."

THE SLIP stopped by the World Cafe last week, where they talked about the value of a producer who would tell them to "sit down and shut up." You can stream the interview and mini-set via NPR.

PETE TOWNSHEND: Stylus takes a second listen to the pretentious but underrated All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.

THE CUTOUT BIN: This Friday's fortuitous finds o­n the ol' HM include: Iggy Pop - Lust For Life; The Jam - The Modern World; The Broken West - Down in the Valley; Weezer - Susanne; David Bowie - All the Young Dudes; Frank Black - Headache; The Sonics - Strychnine; 13th Floor Elevators - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue; The Hollies - Mickey's Monkey; Sly & the Family Stone - I'm an Animal; The Rascals - People Got to Be Free; Rod Stewart - Handbags and Gladrags; The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes; Dean & Britta - You Turn My Head Around; Todd Rundgren - Hello Its Me; The Mooney Suzuki - This Broke Heart of Mine; Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper - Elvis Is Everywhere; Sid & Susie (Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs) - The Warmth Of The Sun; and The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations.

LINDSAY LOHAN REHAB WATCH: Star magazine claims that her appendicitis was the turning point: "She left the hospital with several painkillers o­n her; that was her downfall -- she was using the painkillers and continuing to go out and drink." Indeed, TMZ claims that a day after having her appendix removed, Lohan was partying at Hollywood's trendy Roosevelt Hotel, lining up mulitple shots in a row behind her so almost no o­ne could see.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's new wide release is The Hitcher -- a remake of the 1986 cult classic shockingly not being screened for critics. Expanding wide is the near-universally acclaimed The Queen, which is scoring 98 percent o­n the Tomatometer.

THE SUNDANCE FILM FEST is underway. The official website has tons of features, including plenty of short films. The Internet Movie Database has mini-guide with the complete line-up of feature films, plus a blog and a photo gallery.

STEVE BUSCEMI: New York magazine profiles "The Sundance Kid," who has two movies premiering at the festival.

TOM-KAT UPDATE: Cruise is trying to recruit the Beckhams to the Scientology cult
