News Bites: 12th February 2010

Sometimes news is news, but isn't news.

Muse Sometimes news is news, but isn't news. This, and other such nonsensical editorial discussions has brought us to News Bites - the daily article where we direct you to the stories we can't (or can't be bothered) to scrape together enough words from to form an article.

This page will be updated throughout the day with anything 'happening', so keep coming back. Please? We'll beg if we have to.

17:10 TWITTER NEWS! TWITTER NEWS! Taken from 6 Music: Muse's Matt Bellamy has told 6 Music he won't be at the Brits: "I've got to wash my hair. It's got a bit greasy."

18:23 Ok Go can't be bothered to send us a proper press release about this, so we can't be bothered to do a proper article. If you want a free live download of something-or-other though, knock yourself out here.

15:17 Friday's are always boring, but if this is to be believed, The Strokes just unveiled a new logo. Did they have a curtain? The mind boggles.

13:14 We'll write it up properly in a bit, but it's just quite hard to get excited about this year's Glasto headline acts. Stevie Wonder and Muse officially confirmed for Glastonbury 2010 [NME]

11:58 Not strictly news, but still maybe useful: we've just sorted out our premium SoundCloud account. If you'd like to send us something to listen to, go here.

11:30 News update! News update!

Party Time! Temper Trap Join Wireless Bill.
Arctic Monkeys Head Stateside For Humbug Jaunt
Nash-tastic: Kate Nash Album Release Date, Tracklist & Free Download
Phoenix Head Off For Mammoth Epic Super Tour
Strokes Apart: Nick Valensi Gets Extra-Curricular With Sia

10:23 Excuse us, we just found a copy of issue two of The London Weekly. Normal service will resume once we've finished wetting ourselves.

09:11 Thom Yorke is set to remix Major Lazer. Should be interesting. [Pitchfork].

08:17 YAY! RAGE GOT TO NUMBER ONE. Let's have a party! When? How about six months after when everyone has forgotten?! OK! Register to go see RATM in Finsbury Park with a bunch of advertising execs who don't get the irony of the whole situation here.

07:43 Early start, campers! NME tells us 'Muse thank Rick Rubin for teaching them 'how not to produce' at Music Producers Guild Awards' - we figure he must have tried to tell them to tone it down a bit. Schoolboy error.
