- We don’t know how we feel about the news that Bjork has recruited Timbaland to work with her on her forthcoming new album. We expect eccentricity and melodic oddness from her, not another manufactured hit single from an overworked beat-maker. However, the idea of one of Timbaland’s absurdly hot beats (who cares if he borrowed heavily from the Finns) accented by Bjork’s gorgeous, weird voice is pretty compelling. Plus, she’s also apparently working with Antony from Antony and the Johnsons, so the weird factor is covered.
- This year’s SXSW music festival will be a green, guilt-free event. (If you get wasted, sleep with an entire power-pop trio from Kansas and forget to see any bands, you may still feel crappy, but environmentally speaking, the festival will be a zero-carbon-emission-creating event.)
- Thom Yorke wants you to know Radiohead is back in the studio after a month-long break from recording their new album. He would also like you to sign this petition against the replacement of nuclear weapons. Some rock stars give homework.
- Elton John is reportedly celebrating his 60th birthday on March 25th by playing his 60th concert ever at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The only problem? John’s close pal Robbie Williams is honoring the legendary rocker with a striptease. If you’re thinking you could stomach such an experience in honor of Elton know that Williams has selected Tom Jones’ “You Can Leave Your Hat On” as the disrobing soundtrack. Bleh.
