Because you know the latter's been listening to too much Grizzly Bear.

Slacker chic.

And that love probably helped get Bruce on the bill at Glastonbury this weekend.

They're baaaa-aaaaack.

There will be mud.

Just sounds really, really unpleasant.

Unfortunately, this week was dominated by the very sad news of Jay Bennett's passing. So while we spoke to Maria Taylor, Ladytron, Mastodon, Landmine Marathon and Torche, and premiered the video for These United States' "Honor Amongst Thieves", this week our thoughts are on Jay and his family. Here is The Tripwire week in review.

We've been scrambling to keep you up-to-date as Glastonbury's slowly leaked megaconfirmation after megaconfirmation in the past few months. But today's full lineup announcement is something to behold.

The hype surrounding Blur's reunion shows has been rising since it was first announced, and now they are looking to add U.S. and European tours to their plans, which was originally only slated for U.K. dates.

In yet another case of "Why the hell not in America?", the U.K. government has started up a new initiative that would give the music industry 26 million pounds to help create new jobs during the recession.

Swine flu wasn't nearly as big a topic this week, but it still reared it's ugly head to make sure we didn't forget about it. Still, we were able to step outside to speak with M. Ward, Antlers and Local Natives as well as release some exclusive music. But probably the biggest highlight was getting to see David Byrne, Sharon Jones, Feist, Bon Iver, The National, Dirty Projectors, My Brightest Diamond and more at the Dark Was The Night event. To see what else you may have missed, here's the Tripwire week in review.

Apparently Mike Skinner isn't the only Britworried about swine flu. Glastonbury festival organizers announced this week that the festival could be canceled should the swine flu reach pandemic level.

It got increasingly more difficult to pay attention to our work this week. The weather is finally starting to get better in New York, so bowling field trips and songs that make us think about summer have been filling our time. This after we spoke to Jon Hopkins, went to Coachella and celebrated Record Store Day. Here is The Tripwire week in review. Now, let's go have a beer and enjoy this sunshine.

The highly anticipated 30th anniversary reunion tour of ska pioneers The Specials kicked off last night at the Newcastle Academy in England, and have been dropping the hint-hint, nudge-nudge that they'll be taking the stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

He'll be seeing the old gang at Glastonbury and he's got a new album coming out next week -- if Neil Young fans weren't already salivating, they will be when they find out they can stream his upcoming LP live from MySpace tonight.

We just caught Graham Coxon playing at the Levi's®/FADER Fort -- where we got to speak with the former-now-current-again Blur guitarist. Now we're excited to announce he has released the new artwork for his upcoming album, The Spinning Top, which is due out in mid-May.

If you grew up in the 90s like some of us (no names will be mentioned), then you must be creaming your collective pants. Let's see, we've had Jane's Addiction, Blur, Faith No More, Sublime, Jesus Lizard, Pavement, Orbital and The Libertines all in the news in the past couple months about confirmed or rumored reunions. And that's not even taking into account The Specials or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Well, add one more to your list. The already once-reformed and broken up Pixies are at it again three years after their 2004 reunion stint.

The rumors about Neil Young playing Glastonbury were finally confirmed earlier this week. Now it's been announced that Young's former band mates Dave Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash will be playing as well, leading us to speculate if a CSNY reunion might take place on stage at this year's Glasto.

As we told you earlier in the week, Bruce Springsteen is confirmed as a headliner for the Glastonbury Festival this year, but now the newly reunited Blur have confirmed they too will be playing the festival this year.

It looks like Bruce Springsteen is making his way through the festival circuit this spring and summer. It was rumored just last week that Mr. America himself might possibly be headlining
