- Radiohead magically appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone this week, and Rock Daily brought you a photo gallery tracking the band’s fifteen-year history and a look at the band’s musical and literary influences.
- Roger Waters, Portishead and Jack Johnson were named Coachella headliners; the New Jersey-based Vinelands festival bit the dust after Coachella’s promoters announced their own Jersey fest, All Points West.
- After the Writers Guild announced they won’t picket February 10th’s Grammy Awards, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige and Carrie Underwood were added to the show’s lineup of performers.
- Everyone who was anyone descended on Utah for the Sundance Film Festival: RS brought frequent updates from our own Peter Travers, a photo gallery of rockers on the scene and a report of the real This Is Spinal Tap: Anvil! The True Story of Anvil.
- Peter Travers also said farewell to Heath Ledger, who passed away this week at the age of twenty-eight in his New York apartment. We looked back at Ledger’s 2006 Rolling Stone cover story and examined his apparent Nick Drake obsession.
