- Check it out: Pink Floyd is our new cover story! The piece, written by longtime Rolling Stone scribe Mikal Gilmore, shows how a history of madness and excess helped destroy the legendary band. Judge for yourself tomorrow, when we’ll post choice details about psychedelic rock founders Syd Barrett, David Gilmour and Roger Waters. In the meantime, tide yourself over with our excellent “Dark Side of Oz” mashup.
- Seriously, what was up with that sobbing girl they kept gleefully showing on American Idol last night. If you feel like reliving the bizarre spectacle, you can watch it here.
- Notoriously unhinged powerhouse soul singer Amy Winehouse is set to play a mini-US tour later this spring (dates after the jump).
- The Traveling Wilburys aka the raddest supergroup ever (the band included Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison) released two studio albums, both of which are currently out of print but will get the re-issue treatment on Rhino June 12th. Awesome.
- According to Us Weekly, a new interview with Justin Timberlake in Details Magazine reveals the singer’s dislike of his King of Pop title, and his potty mouth.
- Pitchfork is reporting that Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock may have revealing a penchant for scary self-mutilation onstage in South Dakota. “While performing the Moon and Antarctica standout at Ramkota Exhibit Hall on March 18, Brock allegedly began hitting himself in the face with his microphone, then proceeded to draw a knife and cut his own chest,” the site reports. This is all very sixteen-year-old goth of him, but somebody get the guy some help.
- R&B singer Luther Ingram, who performed the hit “If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don’t Want to Be Right),” among other noteworthy tracks, has died. He was 69.
