This seemed to be a week of a lot of big names getting involved in various acts of celebration and controversy. We spoke to Chris Cornell and celebrated the reunions of The Libertines and The Strokes, while sadly celebrating Joey Ramones Birthday. Radiohead entered the studio again, Jack White and Alison Mosshart were part of a rumored scrummage, Trash Talk e-mailed Us, Gonzales broke records at masturbatory speed, and of course we premiered new music. Sharon Van Etten also sang to us in her kitchen; that was nice. Here is The Tripwire week in review.

So, how many times can we get updated on the Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, David Lynch Collab album Dark Night Of The Soul in one week? Not once, not twice, but three times. Wilco was also on the non-humble tip this week, Brian Williams padded his indie cred with Deer Tick and we just might have found the next Wavves before he even hits puberty. All that, while we premiered a ton of great music, chilled with Trash Talk and got our hair cut with King Khan. Here is The Tripwire week in review.

Wrapping up another week of posts while it’s so sunny and nice outside is a laborious task, but it’s well worth it when you look over everything we’ve covered in five short days. We spoke to TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe, La Roux and the Eulogies and premiered tracks from the Radical Sons and Damian Lazarus all in the same week, but it was five days ruled by controversies involving Crystal Castles and the Ting Tings, and the passing of a legend. Here is the full Tripwire week in review.
