  • Trent Reznor returned to his once-abandoned Twitter to post a photo from the studio with the caption "Last day of the session!" No word on when the new music will be released, and the 33 1/3 book about the making of Pretty Hate Machine has been delayed until likely early fall, Clevescene reports.

     

     

  • Lady Gaga has made history, becoming the first artist to score one billion video views. Mashable reports Twilight and Soulja Boy are close behind according to Visible Measures' figures.

     

     

  • Liam Gallagher's clothing line Pretty Green is coming to America. The collection, which includes limited-edition T-shirts, jeans and footwear, will be available to U.S. residents starting today online.

     

     

  • Mark Ronson is offering up his producing chops for charity. He'll produce a track for the highest bidder at the Artists for Peace and Justice auction, which benefits Paul Haggis' group that fights for peace and social justice around the globe. UPDATE! Jamison Ernest won the auction, and Ronson is set to produce a track for his band Yellow Fever.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
