THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with THE TALKING HEADS!  Here's the expanded band -- including axeman Adrian Belew (who certainly influenced Jon Pratt's early work in Pate) -- in Rome, circa 1980.  Your setlist: "Psycho Killer," "Stay Hungry," "Cities," "I Zimbra," "Drugs," "Take Me To The River," "Crosseyed And Painless," "Life During Wartime," "Houses In Motion," and "Born Under Punches."

DEER TICK is streaming their Tim EP (not to be confused with The Replacements' Tim LP) via Rdio.

SHARON VAN ETTEN stopped by The Current for a chat and mini-set.

MARK LANEGAN plays for KEXP from the Cutting Room studios in NYC.

JESSIE BAYLIN stopped by Morning Becomes Eclectic for a session.

THE DEL FUEGOS: Warren Zanes talks to MOKB about the band, beer commercials and close encounters with The Replacements' Bob Stinson. The band is doing a short reunion tour and has an E, from which you can get "Friday Night" as a freebie.  But check out some vintage tracks at DelFuegoSpace.

PAUL STANLEY: "People, let me get this off my chest..."

FLEET FOXES frontman Robin Pecknold posted a demo of a new solo-acoustic song called "Olivia, In A Separate Bed."

BILLY STRANGE, veteran songwriter, singer, arranger and guitarist -- perhaps best known for playing on the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds LP (notably "Sloop John B") and Nancy Sinatra hits including "These Boots are Made for Walking" and "Bang Bang" --  died in Nashville, Tennessee Wednesday.  He was 81. Here he is talking about "A Little Less Conversation," which he co-wrote with Mac Davis.

TRAILER TRASH TRACYS: Jimmy Lee and Suzanne Aztoria talk to The Quietus about the curse of lo-fi, their love of ABBA and why Paul MacCartney loves their name.

THE BIG PINK: Milo Cordell talks to MAGNET about how he and ex-Alec Empire guitarist Robbie Furze went about creating a fearless, genre-bending opus.

IGGY POP talks to Vice about fashion.

FEETWOOD MAC, discussed by Malcolm Gladwell.

CUTOUT BIN: From Gene Wilder to Barry White, from The Replacements to Sugarloaf, from The Clash to the Rolling Stones, plus the Young Fresh Fellows, Alabama Shakes, David Bowie, Feelies and more  -- this Friday's fortuitous finds are streaming from the Pate page at the ol' HM.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases include: Act of Valor, which is currently scoring 22 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; and Wanderlust, scoring 63 percent. Gone and Tyler Perry's Good Deeds were not screened for critics. Shocka.

RHIANNA & CHRIS BROWN are dangerously close to getting back together, but the singers' friends are desperately trying to keep them apart ... for their own good.  BTW, Brown is facing a robbery accusation on Miami Beach.

WHITNEY HOUSTON's daughter Bobbi Kristina is feared to be going off the deep end.

JENNIFER ANISTON talks to THR about moving on from Friends and what it would take for her to return to TV.

ANGELINA JOLIE has written the foreword to ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's new memoir.

SACHA BARON COHEN is not banned from the Oscars, but the Academy is making it clear that he is not welcome to use the red carpet as a platform for a promotional stunt for his upcoming movie The Dictator.

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO & STEVEN SPIELBERG helped the Academy Foundation acquire a pair of Dorothy's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.

SYRIAN forces continued their artillery barrage in Homs, killing more that 80 people, including a US journalist and a French photographer.

IRAN: After two days of talks, the IAEA failed to reach an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said his country's nuclear policies would not change. Russia warned that a strike against Iran could have "catastrophic" consequences.

IRAQ: More than 60 Iraqis were killed and scores more were wounded in a wave of bombings and shootings across the country that targeted Iraqi security forces and civilians, primarily Shia.
