THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE... ...with ROCKPILE, a band that featured old pals Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds cranking out the rootsy pub rock. Let's start with "Teacher, Teacher" and "I Knew the Bride," along with this clip of "Heart," featuring Billy Bremner, which is odd at the start. And here's the band rolling through Lowe's "So It Goes," and "Heart of the City," plus a cover of Elvis Costello's and "Girls Talk," which many associate more with Edmunds. J MASCIS pals KEXP. DJ SHADOW visits World Cafe. WILD PINK shares "Air Drumming Fix You." DON HENLEY “manipulated” prosecutors by withholding evidence in the "Hotel Califonia" lyrics case, the judge ruled. BRYAN FERRY sold half his music catalog. BLUR drummer Dave Rowntree will stand as a Labour candidate at the next general election. STEVE LAWRENCE, the charismatic Grammy- and Emmy-winning crooner who delighted audiences for decades in nightclubs, on concert stages and in film and television appearances, died Thursday. He was 88. Here's Steve & Edie's take on Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun." FALLOUT has a trailer online. ZACK SNYDER told Joe Rogan that Batman is irrelevant if he can't kill people. CHRIS MARTIN & DAKOTA JOHNSON are reportedly engaged, with Gwyneth's blessing. LEA SEYDOUX said that being a female actor in Hollywood is “harsh”, while she finds that it is “easier” in Europe. KURT RUSSELL still has one regret about filming The Hateful Eight. MARGARET QUALLEY is set to play Amanda Knox in a Hulu limited series. JAKE GYLLENHAAL: A Unified Theory. RUPERT MURDOCH, engaged yet again at 93. A DOG & BIRD play cat and mouse. HIPPO vs LIONS: Who You Got? WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER gets a visit.
