LAURA MARLING released "Rambing Man" as a video from her I Speak Because I Can album.

TEGAN & SARA stopped by Minnesota Public Radio's UBS Forum for a live performance in front of a studio audience. 

SLOAN stopped by Oregon Public Broadcasting for a chat and mini-set in audio and video.

FYFE DANGERFIELD of the Guillemots stopped by The Current for a chat and mini-set streaming via MPR.

METALLICA: "Enter Sandman," the soft jazz version. Derek Smalls wrote this.

COMMANDER CODY is profiled by NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday.

SPOON: Britt Daniel tlaks to Backbeat Online about everything from how producing the disc without outside producers affected the sound to the odd experience of being named Metacritic's Artist of the Decade. (Thx, LHB.)

HALL & OATES: The Boston Globe surveys the duo's commercial and critical renaissance.

ABBA reunion rumors get rolling.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: How To Train Your Dragon is No. 1 this weekend with 43.3 million -- but I think the gurus tended to project this as making over 60 million (roughly where Monsters vs Aliens opened), so this may be disappointing.  Alice in Wonderland placed with 17.3 million -- another 49 percent drop, but perhaps helped by the Dragon weakness.  Hot Tub Time Machine -- which many thought would be No.2 -- showed with 13.7 million. That's probably disappinting, but a 36 million budget plaus DVD sales will likely  end this story with a smile.  The Bounty Hunter drops to fourth place and has almost recouped its production budget (though the studio likely sees only 55 percent of that).  Diary of a Wimpy Kid tumbles from second to fifth with 10 million, but has already made 35.8 million on a 15 million budget.  Below the fold, Green Zone continues to flop spectacularly (30.4 million so far with a 100 illion budget).

LINDSAY LOHAN: "If she doesn't get help soon, she's going to die."

CHLOE SEVIGNY apologizes for calling the last season of her show, Big Love, "awful."

KATY PERRY was hosed with the Nicolodeon's signature bright green slime at the Kids' Choice Awards.

TOY STORY 3: Meet 6 new characters.

AFGHANISTAN: Pres. Obama pressed Afghan Pres. Karzai to take serious steps against corruption and drug trafficking on Sunday, in an unannounced trip-his first as commander in chief-to the site of the war he inherited and has stamped as his own.

IRAN: Six months after the revelation of a secret nuclear enrichment site in Iran, international inspectors and Western intelligence agencies say they suspect that Tehran is preparing to build more sites in defiance of UN demands.

IRAQ: The secular party of Ayad Allawi, a former interim prime minister once derided as an American puppet, won a wafer-thin victory in Iraq's election, setting the stage for a protracted period of political uncertainty and possible violence that could threaten plans to withdraw American troops. At least four Sunni Muslim candidates who appear to have won parliamentary seats on the winning ticket of secular leader Ayad Allawi have become targets of investigation by security forces reporting to the narrowly defeated Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, according to interviews Saturday with relatives, Iraqi security forces and the US military. Either way, the election was a stunning defeat for Iran and its spymaster, Qassem Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guard Corps. Soleimiani had spent millions trying to stop an Allawi victory.
