Katy Perry, Blur and Lady GaGa Enjoy T In The Park
Scotland played host to T In The Park at the weekend, with bands like Blur, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, The Ting Tings, and Razorlight performing alongside solo stars like Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Paolo Nutini, Lily Allen and Calvin Harris. It wasn't all about the music though, as there was some pretty eclectic style choices from the artists present, FabUK has her rundown of all the fashion at the festival! Blur member Graham Coxon almost caused the band to pull out of headlining the weekend, when he came down with a bad case of food poisoning, but luckily he recovered and the show went on, even coaxing some sunshine out of what had been a mostly rainy day!

Girl Crush du Jour: Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I love when the female lead of a band commands the stage, and Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a New York City-based indie electro pop-rock trio, has talent and charisma to spare. (And check out this girl's style! To die for.) From her crazy dancing, to her amazing voice, to her talent for rocking punky bowl-cuts (and crimson red lips), Karen O rocks.
FABTV: Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Zero"
When my sisters have approved a dope music video, I must deliver my take. Mimic cutie Karen O's makeup and learn via Buzz. Stay here for the fashion perspective on the Yeah Yeah Yeah's new video.
Music Video: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Hit San Francisco For "Zero"
Color me totally biased: I like this video of Karen O dancing around the downtown streets of my home base, San Francisco. The video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Zero" starts out at a music venue I know well called the Warfield, heads into the dressing room where the singer touches up her makeup and tosses on a pretty spectacular sparkly, studded leather jacket, and then breaks out of the venue as she boogies her way down sidewalks and atop cars.
Some reviewers have mixed feelings about the laid-back nature of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new album (which is on sale digitally now) but I'm digging it so far.
What to Download: New Music Today
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to my picks below, you can also download new country singles from Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Rascal Flatts.

Song of the Day: Arcade Fire Covering the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps"
Two major music fests took place this weekend: the Austin City Limits Festival in Texas and San Francisco's very own Treasure Island Music Festival, which I had the pleasure of attending. Treasure Island totally rocked, so tune tomorrow for all of my coverage and tons of great photos.
Until then, maybe this Arcade Fire performance from the ACL Fest can hold you over.
Album Stream: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Is Is
Wow, writing that headline made me feel like a broken record! As for Is Is, however, there is nothing broken about this record. As of today you can hear this latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs album in its 5-song entirety on AOL's full CD listening party.
