Whoah this week was busy and perhaps most incredibly, neither Kanye, Radiohead, nor Noel Gallagahar had anything to do with it. But Axl did and Billy helped. Even Bruce got in on the fun. Missed something or looking for to jog your memory?

Here’s a recap of the week that was on Consequence of Sound…

• Mike didn’t take nearly as long to write the review for the same album that took Axl more than 13 years to create.

• Mike recapped night #1 and night #2 of the Smashing Pumpkins’ homecoming to Chicago.

• Nicholas had an opportunity to sit down with Jonny Bell of Crystal Antlers, while EN had a chat with UNKLE’s James Lavelle.

• David reviewed King of Leon’s recent performance in Philadelphia.

• Miked watched Brian Wilson bring smiles to the Chicago Theatre.

• Matt took in Robyn Hitchcock’s performance in Pittsburgh.

• On the news front, Springsteen is readying a “Dream,” The Thermals found sight and more, Third Eye Blind discovered the internet, and Outside Lands will likely return.

• Could it be? The Roots retiring? Sublime reuniting? LCD Soundsystem prepping? Coldplay retiring? Dylan, McCartney collaborating? The east coast is getting a new festival?
