Check out the funereal new clip from Colorado's Tickle Me Pink. The video for the song "Madeline" is the latest release from the band, which has been steadily building steam thanks to the success of it's first single, "Typical." (And if you happen to rock on instruments of the plastic variety, you may know they also handed out a free download of another track, "The Time Is Wrong," in Rock Band 2. "Madeline" is a little dark, so break out your black veil before clicking through to see the vid.

A Cal Tech grad student recently conducted an intriguing study correlating music preferences with SAT scores. (Yeah, that's so scientific). Whatever you think of SAT's as a measure of true intellectual power, the Cal Tech student's results show that the “smartest” students’ favorite musician is Beethoven, with an average SAT score of 1371, and at the other end of the spectrum is Lil’ Wayne, with an average score of 889. You can only imagine the discussion underway among the true geniuses at Absolute Punk.

Green Day's new album doesn't drop until May, but the title track is now circulating online. Our pals at Stereogum, who have the YouTube scrap of the song (while it lasts), report that Billie Joe & Co. manage to mash up John Lennon, Meatloaf and either Queen or My Chemical Romance and jam it all in one five-minute epic.

Well, it turns out (some of the) rumors were true. Paul McCartney -- we're going to dare to describe him as kind of an early prototype of Nick Jonas -- is the BIG name on the Coachella bill this year, which means the desert festival is keeping up with its practice of booking aging-but-respected artists from decades past (Prince, Iggy Pop). But the full lineup is chock full of other cool stuff: singing train-wreck Amy Winehouse, the Killers (and their punkier sonic cousins Gaslight Anthem), the Cure, and one of the first perfs by pals Travis Barker and DJ AM since they survived that terrible plane crash. (The guys are billed as TRAV$DJ-AM). Are you on line yet?? See the whole lineup here.

It looks like Katy Perry and Gym Class Heroes ringleader Travis McCoy have spun from hot to cold. Word from Celebuzz is that the couple fell out after a "tumultuous" New Year's Eve. While Perry rang in the New Year with a televised performance at the Paramount studio lot in LA, McCoy publicly disclosed the couple's troubles on his blog -- in rhyme, no less. ""We fight every night, now that's not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer. And wake up to be greeted by an argument again, You act like you're ten," he wrote. (Those are actually lyrics from a Main Source song). You know how it goes with these rock stars, though, right? They fight, they break up, the kiss, they make up... Get all the deets inside!!

It's been a big year for Fall Out Boy's rarely hatless Patrick Stump, shown here bare-headed.

Say this for Fall Out Boy. They know how to make an entrance -- at least, their albums do. In a rather charitable tie-in to mark the release of Folie a Deux today, FOB delivered an exclusive track -- a cover of Lifetime's "Turnpike Gates" -- to our friends at Absolute Punk. Except now you have to decide which you're going to listen to first, the album or the exclusive!! We don't know either. Just think about it while the track is downloading -- click here to grab it.

Exactly how much time to rock stars have on their hands, anyway? Pete Wentz and Travis McCoy presented their very own artwork at a special gallery show in L.A. Everyone from Ashlee to Anberlin was there, and the whole shebang was thoroughly written up and photographed by controversial art critic Breesays. Oh, sorry, did you want to be out of the loop?

Our special gallery this week features a Las Vegas band that has never shied away from rolling the dice on adventurous fashions in their live shows and in their music videos: Panic at the Disco. Taking their inspiration from the circus, old-time card-shark havens and any other locales or styles that suit them, the Panic guys have an eye for wardrobe to match their ear for hooks. Ready to see some of our favorite shots of the band (and some fashionable extras)? We bet you are.
