(Our weekly grab-bag of tasty treats to enjoy over the weekend.)

Gigs: Everyone's favourite pseudo-dub-arena-rock-whatever band Kasabian have just put tickets on sale for their huge tour in November. Demand is likely to be ridiculously massive after their Glastonbury shows so make sure to find five minutes these weekend and grab a pair or twenty

In other gig news, this weekend is the Wireless Festival featuring performances from Basement Jaxx and Dizee Rascal, and Jeff Beck is kicking out some old-school grooves at the Royal Albert Hall.

Films: If you have kids you'll probably be spending at least part of the weekend watching Ice Age 3. Poor you. If you want something more exciting you might want to check out "Trying Not To F**K It Up". It's a new indie documentary about head-explodingly brilliant Scots band Ballboy, and we recommend it highly. It's on at the ROXY in South London on Sunday at 7.30pm, and the band will be there to play an acoustic set.

Check out an exclusive Asylum clip below. The fact that the featured song is called "I Don't Have Time To Stand Here With You Fighting About the Size of My Dick" should give you enough reason to go.



DVDs: Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino is out this week, and so is Benicio Tel Doro's two-part epic Che. However, if your girlfriend is pissed off at you for spending your week's wages on Kasabian tickets, maybe you could pick her up Confessions of a Shopaholic on DVD to say sorry.

Games: Call of Juarez is out on PS3 this week, to help you indulge your bloodlust, but we suggest picking up Virtua Tennis 2009 for the Wii instead, so that when Andy Murray loses (probably) you can prove to everyone in your house that you are, in fact, better than him.
