This week we've been getting in gear for Ray Davies's Meltdown festival and listening to a lot of albums
Three reasons why we're excited about Meltdown
Ray Davies will be playing, just like he is here
As will Anna Calvi, Suggs and Geno Washington
And, er, Ready Steady Go
Three album streams we've showcased this week
Bon Iver's inventively titled Bon Iver
Sons and Daughter's reflectively titled Mirror Mirror
Emmy the Great's, er, virtuously titled Virtue
Five things we learned from music news this week ...
If you slag off the Wombles, they'll refuse to pick up your litter
You won't be eating burgers at this Belgian festival
What the indiest movie of all time is
Tinariwen and TV on the Radio is a collaboration we could get used to
We're definitely getting bored of James Franco
Some other bits and bobs you should probably know about
We wish we could listen to more Austrian radio (we never thought we'd say that)
Starting this weekend in the Guardian and Observer is Modern Music: A Collectible History ? basically all you need to win a pub quiz on pop, rock, jazz and hip-hop. Watch our video for a sneak preview
