Mastodon is getting its very own premium lager! Too bad it's only a limited run of 200 bottles.
Mariah Carey is worried that she let people down with her horrible rendition of "I'll Be There" at Michael Jackson's long and over-the-top memorial. Don't worry, Mimi. You did.
Beck has launched an interview series on his website that will feature artists, musicians and writers. He may or may not talk about hot dogs and how to look really cool.
I guess Iggy Pop doesn't really like the state of modern rock music...?
