Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, August 13, 2009...

Kanye West is slowly becoming the king of all media... sorry Howard. He blogs, sings, raps, produces and now he has his own short movie out this fall.
Britpop one-hit-wonders The Verve have split for the third time. Those boys just can't keep it together.
Supergroup Them Crooked Vultures have released a video showcasing a snippet of their material. Guess what? It sounds like a bad Zeppelin cover band.
