Radiohead aren't playing Glastonbury this year due to the festival's lack of an environmentally friendly public transport system.
Eternally smiley home-chef Rachael Ray's SXSW showcase will feature The Stills, The Ravonettes, Scissors for Lefty, and Holy F*ck. Um, what?

John Mellencamp is working on a musical with horror novelist Stephen King. Um, what?
The Black Crowes have rejected Maxim's apology for reviewing their album before hearing it. Oops.
Coldplay warn that not everyone will like their new album because it is different from the first three. No comment.

Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix's former drummer, died at age 60. Miles also worked with David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Santana, Muddy Waters and Barry White. RIP.
Keith Richards warns the youngins that doing drugs isn't worth it. We can't decide if Richards is a great or a terrible anti-drug spokesperson.
Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch will go up for auction if he fails to pay the $25 million he owes for the property. Yikes. Who would want to live there?
Eric Clapton has been invited to play in North Korea in 2009. He would be the first Western pop star ever to play in the country. Interesting choice...
