No Sh*t Alert: Concert ticket mafia Ticketmaster is facing accusations of price gouging, after a scheme to bend concertgoers even further over the barrel backfired. Elton John fans cried foul when tickets for his Saskatoon show immediately appeared as sold out on the TM site at the time they were supposed to first go on sale. Instead of offering the tickets at the price listed, Ticketmaster recommended that fans try to buy tickets through Tickets Now, a piggyback ticketing site owned by Ticketmaster. Naturally, prices on Tickets Now were astronomically higher than planned. Of course, Ticketmaster claimed to be unaware of the "mix-up" and has removed the link.

Kurt Cobain's favorite band The Vaselines played their first-ever set of shows in the U.S. last week, and reviews seem to all weigh heavily in favor of the Scottish indie-punk poppers. At Sunday's sold-out show in Brooklyn, the group tore through all their classics, including "Molly's Lips" and "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam," their two most popular songs (thanks to a certain doomed yellow-haired boy genius).

Over 67,500 middle-aged Jersey girls crowded New York City's Central Park over the weekend for a hits-laden free concert by Bon Jovi. The band played nearly all of their hits as well as several covers, including the Beatles' "Twist and Shout" and a "Bad Medicine" breakdown that included a snippet of the Isley Brothers' "Shout."

Radiohead just has to be cute about everything they do, it seems. Their video for "House of Cards," which uses a groundbreaking new camera-less filming technology, debuted yesterday. It's made of lasers. “I always like the idea of using technology in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used, the struggle to get your head round what you can do with it. I liked the idea of making a video of human beings and real life and time without using any cameras, just lasers, so there are just mathematical points — and how strangely emotional it ended up being,” Thom Yorke said. Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLPVhIjfIJc

Just do it already, or go away: Led Zeppelin reunion tour talks have been further delayed by the fact that Robert Plant feels the need to sing with some chick nobody's gonna remember in two years, rather than give the world what we've been waiting almost a full generation for. Here's to Jimmy Page getting arthritic before then.

The first-ever DJ program for the iPod and the iPhone is available as a free download from the iTunes store. It allows users to scratch anyplace or time they like, regardless if they don't have any idea what the hell they're doing and their music library consists of tribal African music and the Vienna Boys' Choir.

New AC/DC record by Halloween: The new album from the boys will hit stores on October 28th (a day earlier for the rest of the world), and the lead single, "Runaway Train" will be released in late August. World tour details are shaping up, and soon you won't be able to escape the wrath of AC/DC. Or something. Their new album is called Black Ice, and that's a pretty stupid title.

The singer for Alice In Chains has been dead for six years or so, yet they're recording another CD. New vocalist, William DuVall toured with Alice In Chains on their reunion tour, and will be the featured vocalist on the album. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell had this to say: "We just kind of met and got along you know and ended up playing together on my solo tour and when we started thinking about doing some playing I suggested him coming in and jamming with us and the guys had a good time with him. That was like three years ago and we're still hanging out and having a good time and making some music. We're in the middle. Yeah, we're in the middle."
