Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, July 8, 2009...

Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney has started a band with four other drummers. The act is called... wait for it... Drummer.
Trent Reznor has already gone back on his word regarding his claims that NIN's last show was Bonnaroo. The band will play a handful of small- to mid-size venues in late August.
Aside from elevators, the only place to smooth jazz consistently was The Weather Channel. Until now. Sorry, grandma.
