The bikes are out, beers on patios are now nightly staples, and it's like 10 billion degrees outside, which are basically the 3 things necessary for me to officially declare it summer (take that, summer solstice). And in honor of said declaration, here are 12 songs for this summer of 2012. Half of them are super obvious and/or somewhat embarrassing (oh c'mon, like you don't have Justin Bieber or The Wanted secretly stored somewhere in your iPod), but at least didn't go so far as to include Carly Rae Jepsen (can something be the song of your spring and summer??).

This was the remarkable scene a few blocks from my apartment earlier today. An estimated 250,000+ people took to the streets (some conservative press underreported "tens of thousands," which is total bullshit) to support the 100th day of the Quebec Student Strike in defiance of the ridiculous Bill 78 -- an emergency law that was passed to essentially make organized protests of over 10 people illegal. It was one of the more awe-inspiring moments of collective action I've ever seen:

This speech given by Black Panther Party co-founder Huey Newton on August 15, 1970 was making the rounds on the internet this week and I figured I'd post because it really is a powerful read, whether in light of Obama's recent endorsement of same sex marriage (and the rampant homophobia coming out of some African-American community leaders as a result), or simply to gain perspective on the history of American civil rights battles:

I'm not in Cannes, but if I was, I would want to look and feel exactly like Bill Murray:

I do not understand how "A Little Bit of Heaven" even got made.Full disclosure: I haven't seen it, but I'm kind of, uh, dying to now that I've read these reviews.

Two weeks after giving us Bess Armstrong/Patty Chase, "Mad Men" threw another beloved guest star bone my way: Rory Gilmore! Or, rather, Alexis Bledel, who I've always hoped would find the roles she deserved post-"Gilmore Girls" (but hasn't), in a meaty little part as another one of Pete's other women. Hopefully both come back, or at least can use this little boost of pop culture resurfacing to get better roles.

In case you haven't been made aware of the grossly underreported (at least outside parts of Canada) ongoings in Quebec the past few months, the university students of the Canadian province have been on strike from attending school to protest proposed tuition hikes. Involving 193,000 students and 171 student associations, it's one of the biggest and longest student protests in Canadian history (if not the biggest and longest), with seemingly daily protests that have seen as many as 250,000 folks taking to the streets of Montreal.

As a supplement to this story up on Indiewire about 5 summer indie showdowns, I figured I'd show my inner box office geek and offer up a full-on list of predictions.
