3rd of a six-parter profiling great 45s. The Boomtown Rats with 'I Don't Like Mondays'. Well neither do I Bob, but I don't go on about it. Thursday BBCR2 20.00 ~ 22.00

BBC erred last week ~ so fresh from their 2nd-only-to-The-Stooges appearance @ Glasters, The Arcade Fire play live tonight. Miss out all the crap (most of the show) and see the last 10 minutes. Alternatively, The Shield is back on Five. Saturday BBC2 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Seven Ages Of Rock:
British indie, from The Smiths to The Stone Roses to, ahem, Oasis and onto newer acts like The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand and T'Arctic Monkaays. Inessential… last one of a largely uninspiring series. Saturday BBC2 23.30 ~ 00.00
* The Culture Show Special
Lou Reed bigs up the laugh-a-minute 'Berlin' tour with his new best friend Lauren Laverne. Saturday BBC4 22.30 ~ 23.15

Blur, Supergrass snore zzzzzzzzzzz Saturday BBC4 23.15 ~ 00.15
