I know I've beaten up the Charlatans in some of my past reviews, but I am excited to hear that they are playing their debut album, 'Some Friendly, in full at the Roundhouse in London.  The show takes place on May 31 and will celebrate twenty years since the album came out.  I would really like to see them do the same for 'Between 10th and 11th' which was my favorite Charlatans album.

Cult novelist Irvine Welsh, The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess, and legendary punk poet John Cooper Clarke have all been confirmed in the final line-up for this weekend's (June 21/22) 'Reification' the Tony Wilson Experience' event in Manchester. - Source

As previously reported, the Charlatans are giving away their new album. Yes, it's free. Same with the fish-eyed Douglas Hart-directed video for first single "You Cross My Path." The grainy walkabout was shot throughout Los Angeles with ageless frontman Tim Burgess, his iPod, much air punching and finger pointing, that peerless bowl cut, and a stuffed raccoon. Also, right smack dab in the middle, note that TB's already pondering "the end." Not sure why, it's a solid track. - Source
