- Coldplay have emerged from a London recording studio (two months after saying hello from sessions in Barcelona) to post a handwritten update: “The self-imposed deadline looms, and new songs have emerged,” the note reads. The message reveals Coldplay have developed insomnia and “a small patch of alapecia” from the pressure, but ends cheerily, saying the follow-up to 2005’s X&Y will be the album they “always dreamed” they’d make.
- Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic says he’d like to see In Utero re-released and souped-up like the upcoming Nirvana Unplugged DVD. The 5.1 Surround Sound of Unplugged will reveal “what each instrument is doing,” Novoselic tells NME. “It really invites you in and I’m sure everyone will enjoy it in a new way.”
- Van Morrison, a less-publicized digital-music holdout, has finally made forty-three of his albums available on downloading services a week before his Still On Top — The Greatest Hits arrives.
- The Who will introduce a subscription service to their Web site next Monday, giving fans who pay $50 a year free access to live DVD View from a Backstage Pass, nonstop access to archived videos, discounted merchandise, exclusive full-length videos and — starting in 2008 — the ability to preview the band’s entire catalog before opting to purchase.
- Jon Bon Jovi tells the U.K.’s Daily Mirror he “was entrepreneurial” with his weed in his youth, “buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks.” But “I’ve never been a drug guy,” he adds. “I’ve always felt I didn’t have the mental stability.”
