No Coldplay for you, Glee fans. Word is the band has rejected an offer to have their music used on the singing and dancing TV show. For the record, awesome rocker Bryan Adams also put the kibosh on Glee covering his tunes.
But series creator Ryan Murphy did confirm the show will feature Madonna and Lady Gaga in upcoming episodes. But no Coldplay. Got it?
Hot on the heels of prefiguring the End of All Things by collaborating with Poison’s Bret Michaels on a cover of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” teen queen and all-around sonic abomination Miley Cyrus told Teen Vogue that she’ll be taking a break from music after the release of her currently untitled next album later this year. Following the news, suicide hotlines noted a 50% decrease in callers, while Israel and Hamas signed historic peace accords.
Remember back in 2004, when Jay-Z collaborated with Linkin Park on Collision Course, a six-song EP mash-up of nu-metal, rap-rock and hip-hop? And if so, do you remember wondering what it would be like if Hova had collaborated with a rock music artist or group that didn’t suck? You’re about to get the answer…
To celebrate the 2010 World Cup that’s being held in Africa, the Black Eyed Peas, Shakira and Alicia Keys are set to headline a concert in Soweto on June 10th, just one night before soccer’s 30-day big event is scheduled to begin.
Whether you’ve already attended SXSW’s annual music festival or not, there is no doubt that it’s an exciting time.

As promised, BeatCrave has been on the road with Los Angeles band Vanaprasta and we have caught some pretty memorable experiences on video for you. However, we couldn’t catch everything on a camera so check a quick recap out of what all went down on the ride down to Las Cruces, New Mexico so far!
Rapper DMX, born Earl Simmons, was ordered by a judge to spend six months in a Phoenix jail after violating his probation. The 38-year old must also undergo a mental health evaluation, which under the circumstances of the events he’s been involved with over the last couple years makes perfect sense.
Devendra Banhart has some cosmic fun with guest stars Wu-Tang’s GZA, the Strokes’ Fabrizio Moretti and MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden in his new video for “Baby,” which appears on his 2009 release What Will We Be. Banhart even tidied up his facial hair for the video! Looking good, Devendra!
Directed by Ron Winter, the “Baby” video is a pretty kooky affair – but in a good way. And very entertaining! The song is also Banhart’s most pop-ish, which adds to the fun vibe going on throughout the video. Yes, things get, how shall we say… unusual… around the 1:20 mark, but it’s totally worth checking out.
