Supergrass have been super-present lately: First there was that unending parade of hoo ha and then last week's room-spinning video for Diamond Hoo Ha's second single "Bad Blood," and now we've got ourselves shadowy footage of Gaz laying down the vocal tracks for "Rough Knuckles" at Hansa studios in Berlin. Good to see he keeps those sunglasses on for inspiration. Much of the video is basically the same shot -- he looks oddly foreshortened.

At Ease Web reports: *Radiohead’s former label seems determined to make some money from the band’s current activities. When Radiohead announced the release of their In Rainbows discbox in December, EMI quickly followed with the release of the band's 7 albums (6 studio, 1 live) as a box set. Now that the tour is coming up (North American dates are expected to be announced next week!), EMI has got another release up its sleeves - the long feared Greatest Hits LP.*Read the full story here.MP3: Radiohead - How Can You Be Sure?

Even though Neil refused to sing "pretty songs" and insisted on only those dealing with "war and politics and the human condition" during the tour that's the subject of his CSNY Deja Vu film, he's beyond expecting it'll actually have any effect: "I think that the time when music could change the world is past," he told reporters in Berlin. "I think it would be very naive to think that in this day and age. I think the world today is a different place." It's just as well, really. Of his pastimes, we always figured he'd have more luck carving a path to peace via model railroad construction anywa

For someone who says so much through sad songs, Aimee Mann's live shows are surprisingly comedic affairs. Patton Oswalt has pinch-bantered for Aimee in concert for over ten years now. The singer/songwriter's part of Jon Brion's Largo family, and it's always fun to watch that talented crew of comedians and musicians in new configurations, especially in PT Anderson movies. (You guys catch Paul F. Tompkins in There Will Be Blood?)
In this three-part mockumentary directed by Michael Blieden last fall, Aimee wears a terrific series of ladysuits and asks Mr. Tompkins for advice booking c
