The Yeah Yeah Yeah's on the cover of NME.....

T in the Park rocks this year with Coldplay, REM, The Music, The Coral, The Charletons, Supergrass, Echo & The Bunnymen, and so much more. I will start getting very jealous soon.... Chrissie Hynde can't wait for America to get bombed. Now I'm all out against this war, but these rockstars got to shut the fuck and stop sounding like idiots....

The Donna's have been added to Lollapalooza 2003..... Radiohead to tour small clubs.....in the uk :(.......... White Stripes to play the Hammerstein Ballroom on April 19th.....

The Mooney Suzuki, The Ravenettes, Longwave and other to tour together......

Great White guitarist memorial in the New York Times......

A girl having a crush on Steve Buschemi is so like a guy having a crush on Frances McDormand . And we here at the Product Shop NYC love her....

In a change from constantly being put in front of Jury, Bill Clinton will now serve on a jury. Thanks Gawker.....

Madonna, children's book author. Bet you never thought you'd see that on her resume..... Groupie Central is such an entertaining message board.....

Possibly the best reason to like Marilyn Manson , who just looks so adorable in these pictures, is his song titles. Here's the tracklisting for The Golden Age of Gortesque: "Intro" "This Is the New Shit" "mOBSCENE" "Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag" "Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth" "The Golden Age of Grotesque" "(s)AINT" "Ka-Boom Ka-Boom" "Slutgarden" "Spade" "Para-noir" "The Bright Young Things" "Better of Two Evils" "Vodevil" "Obsequy (The Death of Art)"

Bono really needs to quit music and run for Kofi's job....

Why does Europe have the greaatest summer festivals that make Coachella look like crap? Check out the Primavera Festival in Spain featuring Belle and Sebastian, The White Stripes, Adam Green, and others.... Speaking of festivals, the Hurricane Festival makes me want to go to Germany before the 2004 World Cup! They've got Radiohead, Bjork, Coldplay, and Massive Attack (Unless 3D really is a kiddie fiddler, but for some reason I think it's a government conspiracy to try and get him out of the press. He's been really against the war in iraq and has been spending millions on gigantic ads in the NME and London Evening Standard, as well as lobbying Parliment)....

Thank you Orly for scaring the shit out of me with this.......

Snowfall by Jonathan Ames......

The first review of the new Strokes record is in..... Mr. Rogers has left the neighborhood and i already miss him. Check out his beautiful commencement speech he gave last year. Thanks Alex... It's official, The Yeah Yeah Yeah's have ditched Touch & Go and signed with Interscope. The major label - a subsidary of Universal Music - will release The Yeah Yeah Yeah's debut Fever To Tell on April 29th.... Avril is still so punk rock it hurts us. She's for real yo. I mean, she is so totally the anti-Britney. Seriously. And this Rolling Stone photo shoot will prove how hardcore she is.... Alig G gets some respect from Rolling Stone.... This weeks crush is Chan Marshall. Cat Power is playing Tonic in NY the day before her Irving Plaza gig.... The Polyphonic Spree are going on a small tour. No east coast dates yet.....

Is it just me or does it seem weird that half the songs performed at the 2003 grammys were written before1980? Simon and Garfunkel "Sound of Silence" Dixie Chicks "Landslide" NY Philharmonic "West Side Story" James Taylor "Sweet baby Jane" *Nsync "Stayin Alive" Springsteen, Grohl, Costello, etc "London Calling"

Kylie's ass creates another controversy....

Remember how artistic Madonna's book Sex was? Well, I hope yr ready soho, becuase Madge is back.and this time she's taking her 'art' to the Deitch Projects. Thanks buttahfly.....

Alrighty all you White Stripe fanatics, here's yr chance to hear three tracks from Elephant. Make sure you have all their previous albums on hand....

While I heard the debut show of Ian Svenonius's new band The Scene Creamers was a major disappointment to many of fans of his two previous bands -- The Make-Up and The Nation of Ulysses respectivily -- I've heard they've been busy retooling and hopefully they'll be much better this time around. Here's the story.....

Here's the story.....

Will The Yeah Yeah Yeah's ever stop touring? Apparently not. A full US tour has been announced with an April 3rd show at the Bowery Ballroom, followed by May 7th and 8th at Irving Plaza.... Damn you California. White Stipes have announced two shows at the Warfield. Look for two dates at the Hamerstein to be announced soon....

The worst kept secret of the year has been confirmed. Radiohead has been confirmed to headline the Glastonbury Festival along with R.E.M..... Avril was just so punk rock at last nite's grammy's (yes, that is sarcasm)...... "I'm Robbie Williams and I'm from England," announced our favorite pop idiot after performing "Let Me Entertain You at this year's Rock The Vote Benifit concert at the Roseland in NY. " "I come over here once in a while to play for my fan ... and there she is." Sounds like an interesting show......

A release date of June 9th has been set for the new Radiohead album. Can we start lining up?.....

Maybe it's becuase I'm obsess with futbol and England, but I can't wait for the movie Bend It Like Beckham.....

Tom Petty's Wildflowers is one of the greatest albums ever. If you don't own it, go buy it......

The Smoking Gun rules, and Michael Jackson is a sick fuck.....

Isn't it amazing that people are still suing napster? I mean, haven't these people heard of Kazaa?......

This is really fucked up and sad and some jokes have crossed my mind but its way to inappropriate. Possibly more than 54 people have died in a horrific club fire in Rhode Island last night that started during a set by 80's hair metal rockers Great White. Among the missing are the group's guitarists, Ty Longley. Sad...... From sad to stupid. CBS seems to be little protective of Bushie's war. Drudge reports that CBS is doing everything they can to prevent the stars at sundays grammy's from doing what Coldplay's Chris Martin did this week's BRITS award show, which was getting on stage and saying "We are all going to die when George Bush has his way. " I love televised anti-war protests..... Yet another reason to move to the UK and why their government is still just a tad better than America's.... The Rapture are back in New York! Thursday, February 27th at 8pm at tNYU's Thompson Center Auditorium, 238 Thompson Street. Tickets are $4 for non-NYU'ers and onsale monday..... White Stripes are smart fuckers. First they flood Kazaa and other filesharing programs with 20 second loops of all the new album tracks to stop people from getting the full songs (it's working), then they decide to put out the new album with six different covers. I'll buy three versions of it....... Woah! Bright Eye's will be coming to Town Hall in New York..... The new and who-knows-if improved Blur have been added to Coachella.....

so my friend Lulu is in a band, and her bandmate Tokyo is an amazing cartoonist and has been documenting the bands career through comics. You have to check this out, it's brilliant. Click here............

From today's Rush & Molley, MORE EVIDENCE that supposedly-split Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are still together. The actress was just photographed moving what appeared to be her belongings into the London digs of the Coldplay singer. Paltrow rents a house in town, but sources tell the Daily Star that she's spending so much time at Martin's place, she wanted to keep some essentials there ...

Fischerspooner news like crazy. Not only are they finally doing a national US tour and playing their biggest New York show to date at the Hammerstein on April 19th. they're also throwing a release party for the new capital version of #1 (an album that came out 2 years ago and everyone already owns) at the Tribeca Grand on February 25th with James Murphy dj'ing.......

Dave Eggars, The White Stripes, K Rock, Cole Porter, and Johnny Cash, all in one article.... If The Sex Pistols sounded like the Detroit Cobras with a Kraftwerk vibe, could it possibly sound like the Hives?.....

You can't stop the downloads!!! White Stripes have moved Elephant to an April 1st release to beat out pirate copies of the album... New Concert added to the listings section.... Oh, both Ladytron and Samiam will be dj'ing at Piano's after their sold out Bowery Ballroom gig tonite...it's three bucks yo.... Wyclef Jean is throwing a private birthday party for his sister at Halo's tonite starting at 10.....

My favorite acid-freak out space rockers, Spiritualized, are back with a new b-side and rarities album....
