- Sub Pop superheroes the Shins have a lot to celebrate — their new album Wincing the Night Away debuted at Number Two on the charts, selling 117,991 copies in its first week. Would it have sold more if it had not leaked last fall? Who knows. This is a huge score for an indie band, and we are happy for them.
- Watching this video of Pete Doherty shooting up is woefully anticlimactic. Doherty was reportedly in Thailand with Kate Moss to receive a Buddhist blessing of their love. He split to score and a fan, apparently recognizing him, invited him into the room she was sharing with friends, put on some Gorillaz and shot this footage. Gross. Sad. Gross and sad.
- Fall Out Boy continue to fight “one of the biggest leaks there is” by promoting the shit out of themselves. On February 6th, when the band’s new album Infinity on High comes out, they will play three shows in three different cities to celebrate. Jay-Z did it better last year.
- On Monday NIN will reportedly begin shooting the video for a new track “Survivalism.” We’re guessing this song will be the first single off the new NIN album Year Zero, set to come out in April (a.k.a. not soon enough).
- We all know Ozzy Osbourne is a consummate family man. He apparently misses his daughter Kelly so much he’s considering picking up and moving the whole family (dogs and all) back to the U.K. where Kelly now lives. Awww.
