Hype Monitor: Celeste, Jean on Jean, La RouxThe Band: Celeste The Buzz: Grim, grinding French metal band releases latest album for free, giving unlimited darkness and doom to all. Listen If: You consider Dillinger Escape Plan “soft rock.” Key Track: “Que Des Yeux Vides et Seches,” a knot of razor-wire guitars and seared-larynx vocals, the sound of an elevator ride to the underworld. The Band: Jean on Jean The Buzz: The inverse of Celeste: sweet, soft, female-fronted pop that blend shoegaze vocals with starry-eyed strumming. Listen If: You’re excited about the return of lo-fi, but wish some of the melodies were a bit stronger and a lot warmer. Key Track: “Cold Horse,” which sounds like it was rescued from the dusty archives of forgotten dreampoppers Lush. The Band: La Roux The Buzz: Dance dance revolution! Big beats and bright synths make for perky, catchy electropop. Listen If: You’re DJing a dance night in Berlin and you’ve run out of MGMT remixes Key Track: “In for the Kill,” where breathy female vocals float over morse code synths like cotton balls over a bed of nails.

Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily Coldplay’s Chris Martin took over our front cover. In an excerpt from the Rolling Stone interview, Martin talks Viva La Vida, plus we shot behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shoot, assembled a photo history of the band live and talked about the band being beamed from space. The Chocolate Factory will remain open, as R. Kelly was found not guilty of child pornography charges. You can reminisce about all the courtroom drama, missing moles and unreliable witnesses here. Pearl Jam kicked off their U.S. tour in stormy West Palm Beach, Florida, then worked out a deal with Verizon so you can make a ringtone out of their concerts as they head on down to Bonnaroo. Speaking of Bonnaroo… The Tennesee festival kicked off last night with Vampire Weekend debuting a new song and Battles getting funky. We talked mushrooms and hippie dancing with MGMT and much more, so stay tuned for everything going down at Bonnaroo this weekend, including sets from Metallica, the Raconteurs, Kanye West and My Morning Jacket.

Live From Bonnaroo: Vampire Weekend Debut New Song Midway through Vampire Weekend’s Thursday night closing set, frontman Ezra Koenig jokingly asked the crowd, “Did anyone take public transportation to get here?” Judging by the hours of traffic it took thousands of cars and RVs to roll into the Bonnaroo campground, not many people did. Still, the preppy pop-punk crew got the crowd riled up with the sparkling pop-rock jam “M79,” which Koenig described as their tribute to public transport. Vampire Weekend’s set mostly featured tracks from their debut disc, including “One (Blake’s Got a New Face),” on which Koenig engaged the crowd for a deafening sing-a-long. But the band were brave enough to unveil a new, still-untitled song, and it might be their most afro-pop-inspired jam yet, with synthesized tribal chants, sparklingly clean guitar lines and Koenig’s amped-up hoots and hollers. “If you don’t know this song,” Koenig told the crowd, “and you’re on drugs, all you have to do is dance.” • Bonnaroo Video: Vampire Weekend and MGMT Kick Off The Festival • Rolling Stone at Bonnaroo 2008 [Photo :Getty]

Phish Tease Fans With Halloween Cover Options: Nirvana, MGMTPhoto: Phish.com It’s tradition for Phish to cover another artist’s classic album in its entirety on Halloween — and for fans to furiously debate which LP the band will choose in the weeks before the big show. This year, the Vermont quartet is playing along by teasing its devotees with a gallery of album covers on the official Festival 8 Website. Records that won’t be performed in Indio, California, at the end of the month are being figuratively killed off the band — stabbed with a knife or an a

Bonnaroo 2009’s Faces in the Crowd: Hippies, Dads, BeesThe eighth edition of the Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival worked hard to shed its image as the dusty home to eight-hour jam-band noodle sessions. Its most eclectic lineup to date had the heavenly voice of the Rev. Al Green sharing field space with the unholy racket of Nine Inch Nails, and the ensuing throng of nearly 80,000 attendees was accordingly diverse. Beyond the usual granola munchers and tie-dyed flower children, there were healthy flocks of sunglassed indie kids ready to freak to MGMT, h
