>> Blink 182 stopped their concert this past Saturday in order to save a life! TMZ has video.

>> Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong performed the song "Amy" at the band's small, secret gig we reported on yesterday. The song is supposedly a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. You can hear some bootleg audio with accompanying lyric video here. Youtube comments claim the lyrics in the video are incorrect, so you can check Green Day's website for the right words.

>> Cee Lo Green covered Danzig's "Mother" at Lollapalooza a few weekends ago. The obligatory audience-filmed clip can be seen here.

>> OK Go, Weezer, Alkaline Trio, and many others cover classic Muppets songs on Muppets: The Green Album, now streaming via NPR. Other artists include Amy Lee from Evanescence, The Airborne Toxic Event, and My Morning Jacket. The album drops next Tuesday.

>> Bush delayed their reunion album from last fall until September 13. Their upcoming tour will bring them to the House of Blues Orlando on October 19 with Chevelle and Filter opening.

>> Vampire Weekend and the model on the cover of their album Contrasettled her lawsuit out of court for undisclosed terms. The band and their label will now turn around and sue the photographer for allegedly forging the model's signature on the release.

>> Metric is working on a new album. They are a great Canadian band you may remember from 97X Next Big Thing in 2009. Check out "Help I'm Alive" here.
