As you know, there have been reports floating around various websites stating that the new Radiohead album will be released on June 10th (while SU has guessed at June 3rd for quite some time). Well as rumors aren't necessarily bankable, if you'd like some solid facts, we can let you know that w.a.s.t.e. has confirmed an appearance by Radiohead at this year's Glastonbury Festival on June 28th. 500 tickets will be sold through the w.a.s.t.e. shop starting on April 1st, so don't dawdle when the time comes. There are no reports of any Radiohead shows in the US this year. Maybe they're punishing us for our president.

FYI: Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea and John Frusciante, Incubus' Chris Kilmore, and David Lindley will appear on Ziggy Marley's new album, Dragonfly, due April 15th. Remember that the RHCP will be on tour this summer with Snoop Dogg & QOTSA.

Belle and Sebastian are to headline a benefit show in Glasgow (Scotland) for the charity Concern. The emphasis is the charity's appeal to highlight the food crisis in Africa. The one-off show at the city's Royal Concert Hall on May 17 will also feature The Delgados. I know we're primarily and American audience, but I'm sure you've got friends in Europe to tell this to, right?

Former Stray Cats bassist Lee Rocker will release Bulletproof this spring; the album features covers of songs by Johnny Cash, John Lennon/Paul McCartney and Carl Perkins. Sure to be interesting.

Chris DeGarmo, the original guitarist for Queensryche, has rejoined the band in a Seattle studio, marking the band's first full reunion in seven years. The band plans to release a new studio album this summer. Maybe a tour will follow.

It's that time again. We want more people to come ot the site on the weekends, so we are giving away free music every weekend. Last week it was the Daredevil Soundtrack, this week it is Beck's new album Sea Change. Congrats to David VanBremen for winning the CD.

Aside from the fact that, out of all the singing occuring at the abysmal Grammies, only two people could sing, here are some people worthy of award, however naff said award may be: Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, No Doubt, Coldplay, Korn, The Flaming Lips, India.Arie, Outkast, Johnny Cash, and Solomon Burke. The Clash snagged a best Long Form Video, and Jimmy Sturr proved quite an upset in the Best Polka Album category, by the way.

After years of anticipation the last two Smoking Popes albums will finally see the light of day. On March 25th the band's last recorded album, an all-covers disc entitled The Party's Over, along with a tribute album will finally be released.

Tool drummer Danny Carey has contributed drums for a track on the latest Collide album, Some Kind of Strange (perhaps he's returning the favor after Collide member Statik played synths on the album version of Tool's "Triad"). Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key guests on the CD as well, which, according to Collide's website, is due out April 22nd.

You check check out the video for Placebo's newest single "The Bitter End" right here. The song comes from their forthcoming album Sleeping With Ghosts set to be released April 1st on Astralwerks.

Warp records duo Boards of Canada are amongst the artists contributing remixes to Boom Bip's latest EP. Also featured are mixes by Clouddead and Venetian Snares. Gotta love that Warp techno, eh?

How can Eminem top last year's Grammy duet with Elton John? How about enlisting The Roots as his backup band? Sounds good to me. They'll be performing Em's 8 Mile hit, "Lose Yourself," together on this Sunday's broadcast. Also be on the lookout for an all-star Joe Strummer tribute featuring Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. The rest of the awards show, however, should be the usual, boring corporate circle-jerk train wreck.

Radiohead news site greenplastic.com is reporting that the next RH album will be released June 9th. Still no word on a title, but 2+2=5 and Are You Listening? have been thrown about. The album will be proceeded by a single (believed to be "Where I End and You Begin") on May 16th. Keep your eyes on this space for more details as they filter in.

Oh joy, more news from the wonderful world of Marilyn Manson... Apparently, he intends to direct "mOBSCENE", the first video from his upcoming album The Golden Age of the Grotesque, himself. The song itself is supposed to be an ode to playwright Oscar Wilde (any English majors out there?) and the video will include "a giant Victrola, painting an elephant black, [and] setting pianos on fire." Okay. In other Manson news, he'll be embarking on a mini-tour (dates yet to be announced) before this summer's Ozzfest.

Yoko Ono and the Petshop Boys have recorded a dance version of John Lennon's final song, "Walking on Thin Ice." I believe the lyrics to one Lennon song went: "The way things are goin'/ They're gonna crucify me." How 'bout exploit? Wonder if it's good?

Lifehouse will tour the U.S. beginning March 15th in Arlington, Texas. The band is supporting its 2002 album, Stanley Climbfall . Keep looking for dates.

Bob Dylan, LL Cool J and Crosby, Stills and Nash will perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, which runs from April 24th to May 4th. Talk about your diverse line-up- "Goin' Back to Cali" vs. "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man?"
