Music Rumors I Can Do Without

I'm on deadline for the Colorado Health Plan Analysis, so I won't resort to my usual bloviating.

A reunited Phish will headline TWO nights at Bonnaroo 2009

While it's just a Rolling Stone rumor, I think I just saved $250 and four days without a shower. Bonnaroo probably earned a sellout crowd thanks to the dreadlocked set.

Even the Sunday Bruce rumors won't drag me back if the Vermont Four get two headliner slots.

I think I'll stick with Pitchfork or maybe head to Rhode Island for the Newport Folk Festival.

Manageable crowds make festivals more palatable. So do a healthy lack of Phish fans.


Scarlett Johnsson Wants to Make More Music

Please, no.

Scarlett, with all due respect, you had your chance and blew it with a winning formula (Tom Waits covers).

Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio drags down his good name jut for involvement with Anywhere I Lay My Head.

Hopefully, he'll stay as far away from the follow-up as anyone who heard anything from the first record did.

Better yet, hopefully the suddenly poor Leonard Cohen will charge you a small fortune to cover him.

Frankly, Scarlett, we do give a damn about our music, so stick to film. You're not Zooey Deschanel.
