Well, it’s finally here: Chicago festival Lollapalooza has announced it’s 2010 lineup. And, as far as surprises go, they are few and far between —the long rumored Axis of Evil garnered the headlining slots with Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Soundgarden (hey, I loved ‘em back in the day just like everyone else, but come on—you hear the last Chris Cornell record?), while the sub-headliners are far more exciting. Quite honestly, I’d rather see Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Phoenix (bold choice for Lolla) occupying the top slots with the Axis taking up the undercard, but what can you do.
Other artists appearing in Chicago’s Grant Park over the August 6-8 weekend are…

You all know her as the loud-mouthed and pint-sized “Guidette,” Snookie, from MTV‘s Jersey shore. It turns out that she can be fantastic interviewer on the Grammys red carpet, too! (Also, by fantastic we mean hilarious.)
MTV put Snookie (aka Nicole Polizzi) out to interview bands and most likely without her knowing who any of the ones they’ve requested her to talk to, they got some entertaining footage. In the clip below, you’ll see Snookie ask Phoenix if there are “Guidos” in France and tell one of them they look like Twilight‘s Robert Pattinson, which is “good” according to the Jersey Shore star.

Hello BeatCrave readers! Nothing like a new, cheap album to start off the week of right. Now, some of these are more “average priced” than cheap, but they are still much less than a regular album. Overall, there aren’t too many to pick from, but there is some interesting stuff for rummage through and just for the fun of it, we threw in an old album that is only $5.00!
Take a look at some of the albums available…

As if we couldn’t get enough Phoenix as it is, we are now excited to share some great news about them!
After Animal Collective did a wicked cover of their song, “Love Like A Sunset,” Phoenix is really getting into the idea with an entire album! That’s right. There will be an entire collection of songs in the same vein of the Animal Collective cover, and the album to be covered is none other than their latest album, (the one probably still in your 25 most played songs on iTunes), Wolfgang Amedeus Phoenix!
