THIS WEEK: IN MUSIC NATION
Here are some things that we learned this week:
* The Flight Of The Conchords will tour for the U.S. for first time since making the leap from cult New Zealand satire folk duo to HBO Sunday night staples.
* George Michael will also tour the U.S. this summer, the tenth anniversary of his lewd conduct charge.
* Oasis will team up with Ryan Adams for an ill-advised tour through Canada. Think Adams will play his Wonderwall cover? (See playlist above)
* Elton John raised $2.5 million for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign at a Radio City Hall concert.
* Norah Jones ditches piano, plugs in guitar, forms indie rock trio.
* Stone Temple Pilots will reunite to play 65 cities this year with fired Velet Revolver singer Scott Weiland.
* Lollapalooza announced its lineup for the annual Chicago fest -- and it's a good one. Radiohead, Kanye, Wilco, Gnarls Barkley. But the undercard is also strong.
* Music Nation inaugurates weeky wrap-ups.
