Time for the news of the day...

Ive trolled the net, searching for some interesting music news, and all i could come up with is this.....so....enjoy!

* The new Radiohead tribute album is on the way, with the likes of ?uestlove, Sia and Mathew Herbert covering classics such as 'Nice Dream', 'High and Dry' and 'Paranoid Android'. I stumbled upon the Mark Herbert and Ash Grunwald (the dude from phantom planet) version of 'Just' and if that song is anything to go by, we will be in for a treat. In more Radiohead news, teh band are working on a new album, and according to Pitchfork, an OK Computer era track called 'Nude' will feature on the record, which could be a hint to the direction the band is going to take.

* The new Streets single has been released on to the net , titled 'When You Wasnt Famous', along with a new album out in April called 'The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living'.

* One of my favourite singer-songwriters, the charming Swede Jens Lekman is heading back to Australia to play the St Jeromes Laneway Festival and a gig on a Sydney harbour cruise. After quitting the music business and taking on a job in a bingo hall, before getting the music writing bug again, im sure a new studio album can't be far off.

* NME had their wanky annual awards Today, predictably the Arctic Monkeys won a thousand meritless statuettes. Other mediocre acts to win were James 'i cant believe its not oestregen' Blunt, Pete 'Where have my nasal cavities gone' Doherty, and the queen of saggy bosoms , Madonna.

* The king of West Coast rap, Snoop Dogg is headed our way! Fuck yeah! He will be hitting the Ent Cent on the 11th April with an entourage of no-name up and commers. Tix through Ticketmaster.

* Plus the likes of Bloc Party, The Walkmen, Outkast, The Roots, The Go! Team (maybe) , Bruce Springsteen and even Bob Dylan will be releasing albums later in the year.
