Amy Winehouse's beehive checked for drugs (NME)
MS: Usually the location of choice for storing naughty substances is inside a bra, down some pants, or inside your shoe, maybe (we've heard).


Foo Fighters singer moved by Nirvana home video (NME)
MS: "I watched this thing on YouTube of Kurt's home movies. He's hanging around with his family in a park, sitting by this stream as these little girls run around. And it broke my heart, because I knew when that was, and I knew that he wasn't necessarily happy at the time."


The Hold Steady, Art Brut and 1990s at The Granada (The Pitch)
MS: Like the drive from Minneapolis to Seattle. A three day power drive, gets kind of weird out there, no phone reception. You are out in the middle of nowhere. You have to stop and get food at a casino ... It's like 3 in the afternoon and there are four people there. Everyone walks in their pajamas and people have never heard our accents and have never met anyone from Europe before.
