Internet picks of the week

Mad Men Fan Site One of the most annoying things about US shows running later in the UK is that it's virtually impossible to go online without discovering some vital plot detail. If, however, you've developed an extra-sensitive spoiler radar, you should be able to navigate this Mad Men fan site without discovering too much (unless you want to). As well as a blog, stills and recaps, bonus features include a timeline of episodes with real-life events, caption quizzes of 60s print ads and a database of every song played in the show. We also like the feature comparing American TV workplaces: nothing beats Sterling Cooper, but Ari Gold's office in Entourage has better sofas. Belle And Sebastian After a four-year break, Glasgow's foremost soul janglers are returning with a new album Write About Love next month. Never averse to doing things differently (in a few weeks they play a cemetery gig), their website now hosts their own 20-minute TV show which features the band playing live, taking part in an audience debate, and acting in deadpan sketches about the state of the music biz; comedian Dougie Anderson stars as both host and the band's stressed-out manager. It's brilliantly filmed and edited, and slightly oddball. The Q&A section finds singer Stuart offering advice on how to cope with the first day of school, homoerotic record sleeves, and how to cheer up a sad cat. Blog roll: Vintage Turn of The Century Strange, beautiful and bonkers images from the 1850s to 1920s. Vintage Child Abuse Scary Santas, dangerous pets and skateboarding babies. Vintage-a-peel Fashion magazine scans, 60s pop star fashion and Scopitone vids. Retro Dundee Collecting bits and bobs of Dundee life from the 60s, 70s and 80s - including the local roller-dancing scene. Vintage Ninja Videos, toys and posters from the golden age of chopsocky. No Pattern required American interior design clippings from the 1950s and 60s, plus attempts to recreate recipes of the era. What we learned on the web this week The next 24 months in superhero movies Wine drinkers eat more vegetables than beer drinkers The 15 biggest box-office bombs Yoko Ono 's X Factor rehearsal needs some work The psychology of ugly carpets in Las Vegas casinos Is Brandon Flowers Peter Andre? A website obsessive compulsives may enjoy The richest YouTube stars Arcade Fire have reinvented the pop video Never buy a hotdog on LSD
