• Oasis are planning a new record, the NME reports. And according to Noel Gallagher, the band will be abandoning their “nothing fancy” attitude, which they’ve apparently been adhering to on the last few records (what, you didn’t notice?) “I’d like to make an absolutely fucking colossal album. You know? Like literally two orchestras, stuff like that,” Gallagher reportedly said. Good move. Oasis’ problem has always been their inability to really let loose and indulge themselves a bit.
• Good and bad news for April’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival: Genius songwriting visionary Cat Power has been added to the bill as has tedious, vintage-wearing harpist Joanna Newsom. Performances by Nick Cave’s new side project Grinderman (who have an awesome new song “Get It On” up on their MySpace page) and others suggest its still worth attending.
• Bonnaroo plans to become cottage industry by purchasing the land on which the festival is held every year. Better them than Clear Channel.
• Remember when Hilary Duff said she liked ex-boyfriend Joel Madden because he was frm a “really ghetto area in Maryland?” Well, maybe she was onto something. Madden has apparently threatened to shoot his stalker if he comes near him. “I’m not afraid of that kid. I’ve been threatened by crazier dudes than him. I’ve been threatened by gangsters. I’m not going to take thiz threat lightly. But I’m not going to not go out simply because some kid wants me dead. If he comes near me, I’m going to assume that he wants to kill me, and I’m going to take appropriate action. I own a lot of guns. I’m ready,” Madden reportedly said. We feel a Duff/Madden reunion coming on. That suburban hood talk is so hot. Swoon.
