Prince is apparently refusing to get a double hip replacement because of his religious beliefs. So, instead of having the surgery, he's "popping pain killers and hoping it will all go away." I think that's the same thing my uncle Gary said when he was hauled of to jail.
Trent Reznor has told Twitter, "It's not you, it's me." He's decided to stop using the social networking service because it's run by idiots.
Jim James, Conor Oberst and M. Ward are finally putting out their collaborative album. Yes, that's right--the group known as Monsters of Folk are gonna melt your faces off.
