Never one to bore or keep you off your toes, the Mozzer dropped a couple bombshells this week regarding his plans for early next year. First off, he signed with Lost Highway, of all labels, to release his upcoming record in the states. The Nashville label is best known for pushing Americana/Alt Country types like Ryan Adams and Willie Nelson, which of course he has hardly anything in common with.

"The most important band in the planet" could be slumming it in the subways this week. The Spinner reports that Oasis, in order to totally unnecessarily promote their Terminal 5 show on Friday, will have musicians from MTA's Music Under New York program "covering nothing but new Oasis songs in various locations." Not only could you hear nothing but Oasis all day underground this Friday, but the band's label is saying "that one of the Gallagher brothers may even be making a surprise appearance with one of the acts." But remember, they're only playing new tunes, so don't go requesting "Wonderwall."

While there are plenty of Emo-tinged pop punk bands that speckle the top 40 landscape today, few come across as complete and credible as Paramore. Celebrating their latest record going Platinum this week, these kids from Nashville headlined Summerstage Thursday night to an enthusiastic crowd of youngins. Their unrelenting energy is only topped by the genuine singing ability of pint-sized frontgrrrl Hayley Williams, whose voice powers through song after song as she tirelessly does laps around the stage. While their current tour, with Phantom Planet and others, is soon coming to a close, the final blast of hype before heading back to the studio will come from when they perform at the VMAs a week from Sunday.
