Frontman Matt Bellamy has told NME.COM he is not yet sure yet what form the record will take - and it may not appear as a conventional album.

“What will come out of that is impossible to say,” he declared. “It may just be albums, but it may be a stream of singles, or it may just be one 50-minute symphony, do you know what I mean? Who knows?”

Read the whole deal one NME.

According to E! Online David cook went on a date with Kimberly Caldwell. all we do is ask “Who gives a sh*t?” Apparently we do, or we think you will. Who knows. I guess we’re just as lame as everyone else. It appears that Cook went on to Regis and spilled the hookup.

Amy Winehouse is pissed and she isn’t afraid to show it. Whinehouse pushed a photographer on her way back into her home and according to the Telegraph it looked like she bitch-slapped, I mean punched him.

Get the full story on the Telegraph.

Check out this video… and you’ll know why she wants to punch these bastards:

David Cook has triumphed over smooth-voiced teen David Archuleta to become the new “American Idol.”

While Archuleta was heaped with praise by the judges the night before, the voters decided otherwise — and it wasn’t even close. Host Ryan Seacrest said during Wednesday’s show that 12 million votes was the difference.

Cook was overcome by emotion, bending toward the stage after his name was announced.

“This is amazing,” he said. “This is all your fault,” he added, addressing the brother who Cook had accompanied to the “Idol” audition that started it all.

Hardcore/Metal Grammy Nominated heroes Hatebreed have tapped the legendary
Vinnie Paul (Pantera, HELLYEAH) to produce document and record Hatebreed
LIVE during their Dallas, TX show at the Palladium Ballroom on May 27h.

Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta comments: “We can’t even begin to explain
how excited we are to be recording our live album with Vinnie Paul! It’s a
great honor and privilege to be working with him on this. Vinnie knows his
shit and doesn’t fuck around! He’s the man to get us the massive live tones
we need to make this a special release. This is not just a live CD, this is
live in TEXAS, where everything is bigger and badder! We’re also going to be
shooting some video footage for a short bonus DVD that will be like a
mini-movie about the who, the what, the how and the why behind this whole
project, so stay tuned and we’ll see you at the show! BE READY TO LOSE YOUR
MIND AND YOUR VOICE!”

Vinnie Paul also commented, saying: “’I am extremely excited to be
producing, recording and documenting Hatebreed for their LIVE CD from
Dallas, Texas!!! After touring with them and being personal friends with
them for years, I know first-hand what a brutal and energetic band they are
and how die-hard their fans are. I plan on capturing that energy and
brutality live and then some!!!”

The world got a first taste of Beck’s as yet untitled new album today, as Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show premiered the song ‘Chemtrails’ and declared it today’s “hottest record in the world.” The song is now streaming at www.Beck.com and Beck’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/beck).

While not a single, “Chemtrails” is a genre-bending tour de force that showcases Beck and producer Danger Mouse’s shared affection for late ’60s psych-pop as Beck takes his songwriting and performing skills in yet another bold, unforeseen and as always captivating new direction.

The album is slated for an early summer release. More info will be available soon, including the record’s title, release date and upcoming singles.

Beck embarks on a world tour beginning late June in Europe, hitting the States in time for several major festivals (Bumbershoot, Outside Lands, Austin City Limits) as well as his biggest ever hometown headline gig September 20 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Fans of Aimee Mann rejoice. She is hitting the road to support her upcoming album “@#%&! SMILERS.”

Spiritualized’s new single, at least in the UK, is “Soul On Fire” and its damn good. I hope and pray that we can get our hands on the new album “A&E” and won’t have to wait for an American release six months from now.

Jason Pierce (who often goes by the alias J. Spaceman) looks like Liam from Oasis but sounds like David Bowie and can write some beautiful songs. If there are any doubts watch the official video for “Soul On fire.”
