- It was a wild week for one Miss Britney Spears: First a choreographer leaked word that her Video Music Awards performance is a go, then her first new single dropped, she had custody woes and that dress she wiped her chicken-greased fingers on went up for auction.
- New York City and punk fans lost a hero as CBGB founder Hilly Kristal died after a battle with lung cancer; Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and others remembered him, and Rock Daily ran a photo gallery of the Ramones, Talking Heads and more bands onstage at his legendary club.
- U2 collaborator Daniel Lanois told us that the band’s next album is progressing well, and that he and producer Brian Eno have been invited to write with the band this time around.
- Bruce Springsteen announced a fall tour to support his forthcoming album Magic. Bonus: Amazon will debut the video for “Radio Nowhere” on Tuesday, September 4th.
- We showed off some nice photos of Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy and more big names rocking the U.K.’s Reading and Leeds festivals.
