Festival organizers said those reports were “absolutely not true.”

Mick Jagger Releases Rarities, Miles Davis Box Set on the Way, Bruce Springsteen Guests on Patti Scialfa’s LP After finally exhausting every possible permutation of greatest hits packages for The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger will unfurl The Very Best of Mick Jagger, a collection of his best solo work, on October 2. The set will feature three unreleased songs, among them “Too Many Cooks,” which was produced by John Lennon, and two covers including his duet with David Bowie on “Dancing in the Street.” Portishead has tapped into the instigating powers of MySpace to attack Mark Ronson, accusing the producer of turning “decent songs into funky supermarket muzak.” They might have a point. Listen to The Cult’s new single “Dirty Little Rock Star” from their forthcoming album Born Into This, the band’s first album since 2001. The complete sessions from Miles Davis’ On the Corner album will be released in a six-disc box set. Bruce Springsteen and various other E Streeters will guest on the Boss’s wife Patti Scialfa’s upcoming third solo album. Photo: Greenway/Getty

“Solid Air” Singer-Songwriter John Martyn Dead at 60Photo: Hussein/Getty British singer-songwriter John Martyn, best known for his 1973 album Solid Air, died today, January 29th, at the age of 60. A note on Martyn’s official Website reads, “With heavy heart and an unbearable sense of loss we must announce that John died this morning.” No cause of death was provided. In a career than spanned four decades Martyn worked with artists including Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Steve Winwood, the Band’s Levon Helm and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. But it was Solid Air that earned him most acclaim. In 2006, Martyn played the album in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow’s Parties Don’t Look Back series. The title track “Solid Air” is reportedly a tribute to Pink Moon singer-songwriter Nick Drake, a good friend of Martyn’s who died of an overdose 18 months after Solid Air’s release. Martyn’s final studio album, 2004’s On the Cobbles, features contributions from Paul Weller, Mavis Staples and the Verve’s Nick McCabe. Martyn has been credited in the past for influencing artists like U2, Portishead and Clapton, who covered Martyn’s “May You Never,” Phil Collins, who played drums on Martyn’s 1980 album Grace and Danger and produced his 1981 Glorious Fool, told the BBC, “John’s passing is terribly, terribly sad. I had worked with and known him since the late 1970s and he was a great friend. He was uncompromising, which made him infuriating to some people, but he was unique and we’ll never see the likes of him again. I loved him dearly and will miss him very much.” David Gilmour’s Twitter also made note of Martyn’s passing, saying “Sorry to hear - and say - that John Martyn passed away this morning.”

Single Minded: Robyn, Portishead, The Roots and More Robyn, “Who’s That Girl” [Full Album Stream] The new Madonna record is also out today, but we figure you know a lot about that already. Instead, try this track from Robyn, who’s referred to as the Madonna of Sweden. Coincidentally, this track is called “Who’s That Girl.” Can a mock crucifixion on a particleboard, assemble-it-yourself cross and a starring role in Desperately Seeking Sven be far behind? Portishead, “Machine Gun” [MySpace] The title does not deceive: Portishead’s return is angry, threatening and violent, full of tight bursts of sound and long, terrified wails. “Machine Gun” is theoretically the album’s single, but if there’s a radio station that will play this, please send us the call letters immediately Robert Forster, “Pandanus” [Yep Roc] Two years after the death of his songwriting partner Grant McLennan, one half of the greatest band that ever was returns with a bright, hopeful solo record that honors the memory of his friend. Estelle, “American Boy” [Live on Letterman] We’re cheating with this one, but only because this live version is so good. Breathless and soulful and speedy, it would be played at every wedding in the country, if wedding DJs all simultaneously got struck by a giant cinder block and realized that KC & the Sunshine Band are terrible and that nobody, nobody likes doing the macarena. The Roots, “Rising Up” [Official Site] On this cut from the excellent-as-usual new Roots record, Chrisette Michelle complains, “The radio’s been playing the same song all day long.” If only that song was this one, she’d have nothing to complain about.

Coachella Day Two: Portishead, Death Cab, M.I.A., Malkmus, Kraftwerk Saturday’s late-afternoon primetime sets began just before 5 p.m. at the Outdoor Theatre, where Stephen Malkmus was holding court with the Jicks. After joking about the environmental crisis, he half-heartedly crooned Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” adding, “I would have played that if I was over there,” gesturing towards the slightly larger Main Stage. After doodling one of his many lengthy solos during “Elmo Demo” (from the band’s new Real Emotional Trash), Malkmus, outfitted in a giant floppy hat, told the crowd, “That was one was for me. It felt so good to say something so stupid.” Informing the crowd the next track, “Hopscotch Willie,” was actually for them, the band broke into an extended desert jam, with power drummer Janet Weiss playing so integral a role, Malkmus spent the majority of the show turned sideways to partially face her. “These guys are so fucking good, I can’t believe I get to front this shit,” the former Pavement leader concluded. As the mid-day heat finally started to abate, strains of Death Cab for Cutie’s “The New Year” rang out across the Coachella field. Singer-guitarist Ben Gibbard rocked back and forth on his heels in front of several thousands fans at the Main Stage as his band debuted tracks from their new album Narrow Stairs (including winding, dark single “I Will Possess Your Heart” and “Long Division”), which sounded even broodier rubbing up against poppier older favorites like “We Laugh Indoors” and “The Sound of Settling.” Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis carries some glam with her in the form of passionate torch songs and fine threads. Over at the Outdoor Theatre she sang the tortured “I Never” with the lyrics “I’m only a woman of flesh and bone/and I wept much, we all do,” as guitarist Blake Sennett plucked out a romantic Fifties pop melody.
