Though he's drumming on their new record, Dave Grohl told New York's 101.1 WCBS-FM that he won't be touring with Queens of the Stone Age when they hit the road behind the upcoming album. But Them Crooked Vultures, his group with QOTSA leader Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, may tour again. "It was one of the highlights of my life when John Paul Jones said, 'Now I've been in two great bands.' That was a huge deal for me!" said Grohl. "We've talked about it, I know that someday we'll get back together and do stuff, because we love playing with each other."

Trent Reznor and former bassist Nick Oliveri are also contributing to the forthcoming Queens of the Stone Age record.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
