The Coachella 2013 rumor mill continues to churn out possible headliners for next year's festivities, with Pretty Much Amazing posting a screen-cap of an e-mail from the social concert-calendar site Songkick, which added Daft Punk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phoenix to speculation that has already included the Rolling Stones.

Coachella 2012: Rolling Stone's Complete Coverage

Whether the supposed e-mail alert was a total fake, or perhaps just a really bad goof is unclear (though for what its worth, Phoenix do have a new album slated for potential release next spring).

The Stones sparked Coachella talk themselves last week when a show listed for April 12th popped in the tour section of their mobile app. The date was  quickly removed, though not before fans snapped screen grabs.

Back in October, Keith Richards hinted to Rolling Stone that it was possible the Stones' 50th Anniversary celebration would continue into 2013: "My experience with the Rolling Stones is that once the juggernaut starts rolling, it ain't gonna stop. So without sort of saying definitely yes – yeah. We ain't doing all this for four gigs!"

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
