  In last week's print product, we spoke with M83 frontman, founder and brainchild Anthony Gonzalez about the major influences on his latest release, 2008's stellar synth-heavy Saturdays=Youth.But what ran in the print issue was only a piece of the conversation--we also spoke with the Frenchman about his current role opening for the Killers (the tour stops through Grand Prairie tonight at the Nokia Theatre) and whether he was nervous with the fact that his latest album features him singing more th

• Today In Music News: Bono's Frightened, Eminem's Angry, Faith No More's Back and Fred Durst Has A Fan.

  Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, February 25, 2009... I guess Bono has forgotten he's in U2. Because, suddenly, he says he's afraid that Coldplay, The Killers and Kings of Leon are making better music than he is.  Eminem's potentially landmark lawsuit against Universal Music Group is going to trial. Em feels he and the label should split download royalties 50/50 instead of the regular way royalties are distributed. If he wins, it'll change thin

• Today In Music News: The Killers Are Sick and Tired, The Who Is Beached and Travis Barker Is Still In High School.

  Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, April 3, 2009... The Killers are getting sick and tired... of each other. Apparently spending years on the road with each other will do that to a band. Roger Daltry believes that Keith Moon would've left The Who for The Beach Boys. Can you blame him? Apparently Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker thinks his on-again, off-again wife can't keep it in her pants. And, well, she's saying the same about him.

Writes the former midday host and music director at KDGE-FM:I'm feeling rather liberated, excited, and have so much else going on, I haven't even had time to think about my radio past.I really don't feel I was ever a "radio DJ", anyway. Just a music fan who was standing in t

  Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, June 29, 2009... In what shouldn't surprise anyone, Michael Jackson could take the number one spot on the Billboard charts this week. Eminem, Flaming Lips and Jane's Addiction have been added as headliners at Voodoo Festival. Apparently Art Brut isn't big fans of Kings of Leon's or The Killers' lyrics. I guess the band can be written off as a potential supporting act, huh?
