>>> Word on the street is that they took “miracle cold buster” Airborne off the market for being a placebo. Good thing, then, that noise-mongers Health are hitting the road, bringing remedy through rock, and not some gross-tasting tablet that you put in water. (via Tiny Mix Tapes)

>>> “Balls. A ton of balls.” Apparently that’s what Toadies’ singer Vaden Lewis said the new album from the recently re-united grungers will sound like. Hm. We couldn’t agree more. (via Spin.com)

>>> Last week, we dropped some knowledge about the new Beck (comes out in the summer, ten tracks, produced by Danger Mouse, features Cat Power on a few jamz). Now, it’s got a name: Modern Guilt. Aw, poor Beck. (via Rollingstone.com)

>>> Robo-rock duo Ratatat are really good. So good, in fact, that it’s easy to forget that one of these dudes used to be in Dashboard Confessional. They have a new album coming out July 8 on XL, called LP3. This will be their third album. (via Pitchfork)

>>> Stay up late partying and totally miss My Morning Jacket destroy on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend? Check out some clips of the band shredding new tracks “I’m Amazed” and “Evil Urges”. Evil Urges is out June 10 on ATO Records. (via Stereogum)

>>> “Hiding in Hip Hop” — a new book by former MTV executive Terrance Dean, detailing his life as a gay man in the hip hop industry – is rumored to possibly expose some hip-hop stars as secretly gay. We don’t want to blow the roof off of things here, but if we were to guess who, we’d go with this guy. And definitely this guy. (via Brooklyn Vegan)

>>> If you ever wanted to look like a character in the Sega Genesis version of J.J. Fad: The Neon Years, then you’ll be happy to know that M.I.A. is starting a clothing line. Trashbag Aesthetics says, “The collection has been said to feature bold bright hues & graphic prints.” No shit? (via the Modern Age)

>>> Oh, and real quick: Tickets for Rock City Festival are now available for purchase in the Garden Bowl, located inside the Majestic Theatre Center. Tickets are $20/day and $30/weekend. Get ‘em before they’re gone!

The Daily Fix is compiled every day by Ryan Allen. Seriously, buy those tickets, yo!
