News and notes

Grammy's on Sunday
Sunday is the 47th annual Grammy Awards. The show will open with a multi-artist performance stretching across three stages and feature the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani and Eve, Los Lonely Boys, Maroon5 and Franz Ferdinand, all of whom are nominated in multiple categories.

I'm sure lots of people are just dying to hear Gwen's "Fiddler on the Roof" impression. That song easily gets my vote for: worst song of the year, worst cover song of the year, worst sign that people will buy anything put in front of them.

Another vomit-inducing moment will be the performance by Jennifer Lopez and her latest husband, Marc Anthony.

Bad Brains reunited
The Soul Brains (formerly the Bad Brains) have completed basic tracks for their first all-new studio album since 1995's "God of Love." The album is produced by Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch. Billboard reports that the as-yet-untitled set recalls the hardcore/reggae style of such classics as "Bad Brains" and "Rock for Light." A sign of good things to come?

More Black Crowes shows
The reunited Black Crowes have been added to Bonnaroo and the New Orleans' annual Jazz and Heritage festival. In addition, the group has added two additional shows to its run at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. Hopefully that's another sign of more good things to come.
