Friday Updates

• The Flaming Lips, who have a new album coming out and are currently touring with The Black Keys, will be featured in a 60 sec. Hyundai commercial for the Superbowl. There was once a time when people groaned at musicians selling their songs to corporate behemoths for the use of advertising, however nowadays you can actually discover new music by watching such and there are entire websites devoted to helping you find out who's that background music may be.
• The Stone Roses finally have a US date co-headling Coachella's Friday night set with Blur. Hopefully this is a sign of more to come for us in the states.
• The Mars Volta have broke up and I don't think anyone is too happy about it....
• And in an unprecedented event there is news on the Queensryche front. Apparentley K.K Downing will guest star on the new album.
