Britney is pregnant... so says Star (via Brooklyn Vegan)
Jonathan Davis of Korn names his new kid Pirate, upping the unfornate name bar set by Chris and Gwenyth.
Eazy-E died ten years ago today. RIP.
One of the world's greatest bands has split up. The music world is still torn up inside over this one.
In more interesting news, word on the street is that Stars, Feist and Apostle of Hustle are going to play together for a few songs for the finale of the Exclaim! show this Thursday. This is pretty much Broken Social Scene minus Jason Collett, Emily Haines, that guy from Raising the Fawn, and lead boy-singer, Kevin Drew. Which means "Anthems for 17 Year Old Girl," "Backyards," and "Lover's Spit (Beehives version)" are not out of the question. Still trying to figure out a way to stop time so I can make it to the Commodore after Ash to check it out. Also look for Amy Milan to drop in on Montag's opening set to duet on Perfect Vision.

This rendition of the much loved BSS tune is significantly different then the piano based Beehives version that Miss Feist's vocals grace. Guitar based with some great little backups and Leslie's croon distantly echoing over her improvised refrain at the end.
Yuki sent in this snapshot from last night's Mono show at the Media Club, which she described as "loud."
Finally, if you slept in and wanted to get Weezer tickets, you're out of luck. They sold out in minutes. You can always check Ebay if you're into paying $100 a ticket. Ouch.
