Monday’s Hors d’Oeuvres

Thanks to my DVR I was able to watch The Police’s quick performance over and over again last night, and in so doing I missed the rest of the Grammys.

Oh well, I hear I didn’t miss too much. Regardless of what may or may not have happened last night, let’s start off the week with some linkage:

• Billboard.com is exclusively reporting The Police will headline Bonnaroo and play shows in 24 North American cities before moving on to the rest of the world. More concrete details to follow this afternoon…

• Here’s a cool video of a Frank Zappa soundcheck from 1988
• AV Club presents a list of 15 pop songs owned by moments in movies (via Largehearted Boy)
• Keb Mo, John Mayer, The Dixie Chicks, and many other artists peformed songs to honor his the MusicCares Person of the Year, Don Henley
• Jenn Wertz has left Rusted Root…again
• Neddy previews the Shows Of the Week in NYC
• Read this great feature on Ace-favorite Tea Leaf Green, which features some interesting quotes from Trevor Garrod

• Son Volt hits the road for six weeks
