Despite bizarre Twitter rampage, Flaming Lips still together. Who's behind mysterious tweet-streak?

The Flaming Lips Twitter account seems to been the target of a well-operated publicity scheme on Thursday night, as someone reportedly hacked the band's account and declared the band to be disbanded.

Remember how we said yesterday that footage of Lady Gaga's new song wouldn't make it on the internet because of the strict no-camera policy at the club where she was performing it?

Fortunately, the event seemed to have a corporate sponsor, and the video was posted this morning.

New music isn't coming from Linkin Park anytime soon. Vocalist Chad Bennington is currently shacking up with the Stone Temple Pilots to create a new record and tour, and LP isn't looking to bring anyone else in, so fans will have to look forward to Recharged, an album containing remixed versions of the tracks on the band's 2012 LP Living Things.
Carlos Santana releasing first full Spanish language album in 2014, Latin pop stars rumored to be involved

Against Me! and Laura Jane Grace discuss transgender issues on new album 'Transgender Dysphoria Blues'

Laura Jane Grace, vocalist and guitarist for punk rockers Against Me!, had plenty of fodder to talk about for the band's new album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. If you hadn't already heard, and the new album title didn't give you a hint, the biggest development for the group since its last release, 2010's White Crosses, was that Grace (formerly named Tom Gabel) announced her identity as a woman.

New Lady Gaga track 'Swine' leaks to the internet; Follows 'ARTPOP' EDM feel with rave-worthy bridges [LISTEN]

Lady Gaga's Artpop album is set to release on November 11 but fans may have the whole album listened to already if single-track leaks keep happening at this rate.

Can Miley Cyrus Catch a 'Lightning Bolt' on Charts?

Forgive us if we're bracing for next week; Katy Perry's Prism is set to drop and it could give Justin Timberlake's first 2013 release a run for the biggest opening frame of the year.

It's anniversaries galore during 2013-'14 for Outkast, the most renowned name to come out of the Atlanta hip-hop scene.

Whether it's regarding her massive album sales, reaping of tons of country music awards, or just her young 23 years of age, many in the country music fandom (and even the country music industry), don't feel the songstress has done her due diligence to be held in the same light as other stars of the genre. These critics were undoubtedly not pleased by the announcement of the band that will be backing Swift when she performs her hit "Red" during the Country Music Association Awards in November.

Microsoft Developing Headphones That Can Measure Health, Change Music Based on Mood

It used to be rather Orwellian to consider electronics and computer chips being attached to the human being to monitor behavior and thoughts.

Girl Talk-Intensive Study Shows Sampling in Hip-Hop Boosts Sales for Songs Quoted

Sampling and hip-hop have gone hand in hand for decades, for better or for worse. For every Robert Fripp, the guitarist in charge of King Crimson who loved Kanye West's sample of "21st Century Schizoid Man" during "Power," there are groups like The Winstons, who don't appreciate that the "amen break" from its hit "Amen, Brother" has been borrowed literally thousands of times. The battles over creative copyright and kickbacks have been ongoing for years, but a new study suggests that the practice actually boosts the sales of the work sampled.
