METRIC covers Buffalo Springfield's "Expecting to Fly" (N. Young).

NEW RELEASES: It's still Mew, British Sea Power, Tapes 'n' Tapes, etc. at Spinner, but they may update it now that MLK Jr. Day is over...

HORSE FEATHERS play the Mountain Stage, finishing with hostess Julie Adams covering Peter Case's "Steel Strings."

PETER CASE, coincidentally enough, stopped by the World Cafe for a chat and mini-set.

S. CAREY stopped by The Current for a chat and mini-set.

R.E.M., playing "Radio Free Europe" and "So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)" for their network TV debut ... and Twofer Tuesday.

THE DECEMBERISTS: The King is Dead drops today.  Colin Meloy talks to NPR, while Jenny Conlee talks to MusicOMH. (Thx, LHB.) 

GANG OF FOUR: Andy Gill talks to Billboard about the new album, licensing, etc.

DARYL HALL is profiled by New York magazine, but what you really want to read is the story about John Oates and Miles Davis.

CHUCK PROPHET talks to the San Francisco Chronicle about covering the Clash's London Calling album live: "It's crazy. Figured if the Coen brothers can remake True Grit, why not?"

PTICHFORK's TOP 50 ALBUMS: The sales figures.

NICOLE KIDMAN & KEITH URBAN are the parents of a baby girl, born through a surrogate.

HEIDI MONTAG was offered a spot on Dancing With The Stars, according to RadarOnline, but she was forced to turn it down due to contractual agreements she made when she signed up for The Hills.

JOHNNY DEPP talks to Entertainment Weekly about his Keith Richards documentary.

LEIGHTON MEESTER & GARRETT HEDLUND: The Country Strong costars may be making their onscreen romance a reality.

RICKY GERVAIS is done as host of the Golden Globes. Shocka!  After Tom Hanks and Robert Downey, Jr., went after Gervais on stage, the real question is whether he ever gets a project greenlit in Hollywood again.  His only hope is that the big movers and shakers figure out that Gervais is less of a problem than the corruptdealings of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc.  Speaking only for myself, I was highly amused as dumbfounded H'wood royalty was taken aback by the sort of barbs they regularly dish out to other public figures.

ANNE HATHAWAY & JAMES FRANCO now must wrestle with how tame to be hosting the Oscars. (Prepare for that epic to be even more boring than usual.)

KELLY OSBOURNE ­tearfully dumped ­fiancé Luke Worrall when she found out he was ­having a secret affair with a transsexual.

TERROR in CANADA? The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating a report that several Canadians are among Westerners training with al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal areas. The report named eight of the 12 Canadians said to be in North Waziristan.

LEBANON: The head of Hezbollah defended the decision to bring down Lebanon's government, arguing that the move was necessary to protect the country from the consequences of indictments expected soon from a controversial UN tribunal.

IRAN's fuel blockade of western Afghanistan has caused diplomatic strains between the two countries. Iran's nuclear negotiator defended the country's nuclear program as foreign inspectors left. The Iranian military now claims to have shot down US, UK, and Israeli drones in the Persian Gulf.

AFGHANISTAN: "Human mapping" deployed in the fight against the Taliban.

MARU: The box cat tournament.

IT'S MAN vs BEAVER at a Canadian ski resort. The eternal struggle, really.

GOATS don't let friends drive drunk... this time in California.

RACING DOGS at Daytona test positive for cocaine.
