Speaking to his site, Okayplayer, Questlove has announced that producer Stro Elliot is now officially a member of The Roots.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Radiohead's Ed O'Brien revealed that the band wanted Dr. Dre to produce Kid A. “I kept on saying, ‘Oh I’d love to work with Dr. Dre,’” O’Brien said. “I knew it would likely be shouted down or laughed at. Also, it might have been a little forced. But at the time, in my head, it made perfect sense.” He added that fear of creative differences would have led to the unity falling apart.

Super Troopers 2 is slated to arrive later this year, marking 16 years since the cult comedy debut and it has been confirmed that Eagles of Death Metal will be scoring the film. Director Jay Chandrasekhar shared the news on Twitter.
