Green Day’s New Album “21st Century Breakdown” Due in MayPhoto: Mazur/WireImage Last night, Green Day presented the Album of the Year award to Plant & Krauss at the 51st Annual Grammy ceremony. This time next year, the punk trio’s role might be reversed — today word arrived that the Cali band’s forthcoming album, called 21st Century Breakdown according to their official Website, would be released in May. The band made no mention of the new disc before presenting the award. Warner Music confirmed the title and is now accepting pre-orders for the album at the early-bird price of $11.99. According to AP magazine, the new LP will feature 16 songs spread across three Acts: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. Among the reported song titles include the title track, “Viva La Gloria,” “Know Your Enemy” and “March of the Dogs.” Garbage’s Shirley Manson and then a series of YouTube videos revealed that Butch Vig (Nirvana’s Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream) would be producing. Rolling Stone will have a host of details on Billie Joe and Co.’s latest next week — we joined the band in their San Francisco studio for a sneak peak at 21st Century Breakdown, and the full report will run in the next issue. The May album is the band’s first since 2004’s acclaimed American Idiot. That LP went on to win Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammys, while “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” won Record of the Year at the 2006 event. In the time since American Idiot’s release, Green Day released the album Stop Drop and Roll!!! as their secret side project, the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Shirley Manson Says Butch Vig Producing Green Day AlbumPhoto: JacksonGetty Is producer Butch Vig working with Green Day on their new album? That’s what Vig’s Garbage bandmate Shirley Manson let slip when she visited Last Call with Carson Daly to promote her role on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. When asked whether Garbage would ever end their “indefinite hiatus” to record a new album, Manson responded “I don’t know, to be honest. We’re sort of doing our different things. I’m doing the TV show, Butch is producing Green Day, so he’s busy, so we’ll see.” That was news to everyone, as Green Day, their label and their management have been pretty hush-hush on any developments regarding the follow-up to the band’s acclaimed American Idiot. There were rumors of Vig’s involvement with Green Day dating back to August, but there was no concrete proof until Manson’s remark. Outside of his days as a Garbage man, Vig is well-known for producing masterpieces like Nirvana’s Nevermind, the Smashing Pumpkins‘ Siamese Dream and Sonic Youth’s Dirty. Green Day made a brief, disguised return as the Foxboro Hot Tubs late last year.

Single Minded: New Foo Fighters, Joni Mitchell, Rascal Flatts, Keyshia Cole and KyMani Marley Foo Fighters, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace [Full Album Stream] Fact: The album’s title comes from the name of Dave Grohl’s four Lhasa Apso. Look it up! By which we mean: Put it on Wikipedia! Joni Mitchell, “Night of the Iguana” [BC Goodie Bag] Mitchell’s latest includes yet another version of Mitchell’s early environmentalist classic “Big Yellow Taxi.” Because why preach about recycling if you’re not going to practice? Rascal Flatts, “Take Me There” [MySpace] The vocalist for this band is named Gary LeVox, which literally means “Gary the Voice.” Which causes unending aggravation for the group’s guitarist, Joe LeCantplaysogood. Keyshia Cole, “Let It Go” [MySpace] This is the first single from Cole’s latest, “Just Like You.” And if you can overlook the fact that she’s a twenty-five-year old R&B singer who’s sold over a million records, done duets with Missy Elliott and Diddy, then, yeah, she’s just like us. KyMani Marley, “Hustler” [MySpace] Or as he’s about to be known, the guy who got pelted with garbage before Van Halen came on. [Photo: Walter/Getty]

Rock School: Lessons From Fall Out Boy’s Today Show PerformanceWhat began as a mediocre Fall Out Boy performance on this morning’s Today quickly turned into an unforgettable rock & roll lesson. The band entertained a crowd jam-packed with emo teens with “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race,” “Dance, Dance” and new single “Thnks fr th Mmrs,” but their actions spoke louder than their songs. So join us, will you, as we count down the top five things we learned from a rock band forced to wake up around the time they’d usually head to bed: 5. Not even an 80-degree-outdoors-performance can stop Pete Wentz from wearing a hoodie. 4. Frontman Patrick Stump considers a garbage bag to be an acceptable form of jacket. 3. It’s never too early in the morning to cake on the eyeliner. 2. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting the notes, as long as you’re spinning around hitting everyone else. 1. The quickest way to make an NBC exec livid is to say “goddamn” on live television.
