Take the Leap With Sir Elton John: Calling it the most exciting record he's made in a long time, Elton John will release a new album entitled the Diving Board.

Maybe Because He Did a Good Job Singing Them in Oasis?: Touring with his new band, Beady Eye, Liam Gallagher is 'defending his decision' to sing Oasis songs.

Did You Know Dolly Parton Keeps a Video Diary?: No, NPR, I didn't, but now I am eternally grateful for it.

Or, What About MF DOOM and His RC Car Hobby?: In an interview with Intersection Magazine, MF DOOM is photographed with an armada of radio-controlled cars.

"She has become obsessed with her album in a very nice but inconvenient way.": That's Mick Fleetwood, blaming Stevie Nicks' insistence on pursuing her solo career for preventing any future Fleetwood Mac tour.

It's (Mostly) All Musicians: On a Huffington Post-curated list of the 15 most liked Facebook pages, 12 are musicians, ranging from Avril Lavigne to Akon, Bob Marley to Katy Perry.

Other Marley News: A new documentary on Bob Marley will be released on April 20th (get it, 4/20!) and will be out "theatrically, digitally and through video on demand simultaneously."

Yoshimi on Stage: A musical based on the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots will premiere later this year.

The More I Think About it The More it Makes Sense: The band helping to bring Animal House to Broadway is none other than the Barenaked Ladies.

"From the grey break in the morning / to the grey sunset that's yawning": These past few initial-days-of-daylight-savings have felt like it's been 8 A.M. all day.
