  • AC/DC fans in Peoria, Illinois rallied this weekend outside the city’s Civic Center, hoping to convince the band to play the arena for the first time in 1983. A local radio station organized the event, and a video and petition from the rally will be sent to AC/DC today. “We’re going to prove to AC/DC that we’re out of our minds,” said DJ Matt Bahan.

  • Songs from this season’s Flight of the Conchords will be available for download the day after each episode. “Angels,” from the January 18th season two premiere, will hit iTunes on the 19th. While the songs often appear in truncated form on the show, the downloads will include the complete track. Additionally, the Conchords’ next album, comprised of songs from the new season plus five bonus tracks, will be released on April 14th.
  • blink-182’s Mark Hoppus tells MTV News “The future is wide open” for a reunion, but fans shouldn’t hold their breathe, because it’s not imminent: “If — and this is a big if — Blink-182 were ever to re-form, it would have to be the most amazing, ridiculous, mind-blowing show and tour ever,” Hoppus said.
  • Capitol Records will look to profit off Radiohead once more, this time by reissuing the band’s singles as 12′’ vinyl. The singles range from the rare Drill EP to “2 + 2 = 5,” and feature the original 5′’ CD artwork simply printed as a sticker onto the jacket. The reissues are due out April 21th.

I’m not a huge Radiohead fan, but that is LAME that Capitol is drilling Radiohead’s fan base like a cheap hooker with rereleasing their single’s on vinyl, which will mostl likely be fairly expensive to purchase.
