» Coachella: Prince apparently destroyed Coachella with Beatles and Radiohead covers, after starting 30 minutes late. Also, Roger Water's Animals pig escaped the hold of the people holding it, and ended up in someone's driveway. Concert organizers had put a $10 grand prize on the pro-Obama inflatable pig's inflatable head.

» But what if Prince and Waters aren't worth waiting around in the sun for hours and hundreds of dollars? Perhaps Coachella will soon follow in the footsteps of the Virtual Vancover Music Festival, the first music festival to be simultaneously real and virtual online. Fans who don't make the live show will be able to experience it by downloading a Windows-only (aka Quality-only) client and seeing the concert in a 3-D world. Now, instead of acid, you can just play with the color settings on your monitor. (Hint: try degaussing!)

» Oh Noes! Must pay dollars for jams!: Long ago, in the ancient days, a small rockband named Radiohead changed how we received music by completely reshaping the market. That was the beginning of the revolution, now is the end. We all knew it to be the end when our hero, the Holy Sir. Yorke, stood up and shouted: "Yeah, we probably won't do that again."

» Weezer's Rivers Cuomo told some cats that their new single, "Pork and Beans," was written after their label told them to write catchier songs. Our Cy Fard saw both merit and humor in Rivers' new tune.
