Just a week ago I reported that Chris Cornell and the rest of the members of Soundgarden may get back for a reunion. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil shed some more light, sort of, to the idea by saying "People would have to want to.

Conor Oberst also spoke to Rolling Stone recently about how he is looking to drop his Bright Eyes alter ego. Oberst tells the magazine, "It does feel like it needs to stop at some point. I'd like to clean it up, lock the door, say goodbye." Rumor has it that he is working on his final Bright Eyes record and will continue on after as just plain old Conor Oberst.
