-Ellen DeGeneres will not be returning for the next season of American Idol. Not to fear, though, Jennifer Lopez is going to jump on board.
-The Village Voice talks to Spiritualized about its 1997 album "Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space." Apparently Dr. John played some piano on the twenty-minute closing freak-out, "Cop Shoot Cop." Yeah, that Dr. John.
-Sleater Kinney's Corin Tucker on Bikini Kill, "I never didn't cry at their shows."
-British composer Max Richter lists a few of his favorite film scores for "Dusted."
