The Pacific Northwest's Memorial Day tradition continued once again with this season's Sasquatch Festival. The lineup was superb, featuring the Cure and R.E.M., amongst many many others across the multiple stages. While the gorgeous natural backdrop of the main stage at the Gorge usually gets all the attention, the post-fest chatter mostly revolved around The Flaming Lips. Never afraid to tack on another gimmick to their already circus-like live show, Wayne Coyne summoned a handful of naked ladies (link NSFW) to the stage during the set. There's no question that the Lips Ringmaster is a talented musician and excellent performer, but this is just sort of creepy. While it's always a thrill to see them live, especially for the first time, it might be time for them to try and mix up the show a bit? Coyne can only climb into that same bubble so many times before you just wanna see something new. Rather than adding questionable content on top of itself, the band might be due for a reboot. Especially if this sort of stunt is the kind of fresh ideas he's coming up with these days.

Last month the New Kids on the Block (or if you prefer, NKOTB) reunited on the Today Show to announce they were...reuniting. This morning they returned to play some tunes at a rainy Rockefeller Plaza (at press time a nostalgia-packed medley is going down), and fans lined the streets to get in. Guest of a Guest reports from the frontlines, saying, "we almost tripped over NKOTB votaries camping on 48th Street as we were en route to a lunch date at Saks."

For those checking the New Kids on the Block website, hoping that rumors of the teen dream band making a comeback are true...you may find the ticking countdown clock scream-worthy. As reported by People magazine, the five-some will be performing on The Today Show this Friday, April 4th. Seriously, break out the acid wash, this is no April Fools joke.
