• Coldplay’s Chris Martin took over our front cover. In an excerpt from the Rolling Stone interview, Martin talks Viva La Vida, plus we shot behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shoot, assembled a photo history of the band live and talked about the band being beamed from space.
• The Chocolate Factory will remain open, as R. Kelly was found not guilty of child pornography charges. You can reminisce about all the courtroom drama, missing moles and unreliable witnesses here.
• Pearl Jam kicked off their U.S. tour in stormy West Palm Beach, Florida, then worked out a deal with Verizon so you can make a ringtone out of their concerts as they head on down to Bonnaroo. Speaking of Bonnaroo…
• The Tennesee festival kicked off last night with Vampire Weekend debuting a new song and Battles getting funky. We talked mushrooms and hippie dancing with MGMT and much more, so stay tuned for everything going down at Bonnaroo this weekend, including sets from Metallica, the Raconteurs, Kanye West and My Morning Jacket.
