  • On Conan Tuesday night, the reunited Soundgarden performed their song "Black Rain," which is also featured in the Guitar Hero video game. But more exciting for fans is the second song they performed, a web exclusive that finds the band going all the way back to 1987 with their first Sub Pop single, "Hunted Down." The guys may look older, but sonically, they haven't aged a bit.

  • On Tuesday's episode of Glee Kurt finally confronted the bully who has been harassing him since the beginning of the series — and found out he was a closeted homosexual. In an interview with the New York Times , Glee creator Ryan Murphy said it's the beginning of a long story arc in which many of the New Directions kids finally confront their tormentors.

    "As we get deeper into the episodes, it will be about how all the other kids are tortured and bullied," Murphy told the Times. "The kid in the wheelchair. The Jewish girl. Because they stick up for Kurt, they will all get increasingly tormented. So it's not just about gay bullying — it's about all different kinds that happen in schools."

  • In the new issue of Rolling Stone, on stands in the digital archives this Friday, Phil Collins says he believes that he may have lived past lives — and that he's contemplated suicide. The reclusive singer — who hasn't released an album of new material in nearly ten years — took writer Erik Hedegaard into his surprisingly modest home in Switzerland and explained that most of his time is now spent working on his gigantic collection of artifacts from the Alamo and raising his two young sons from his last marriage. Decades of criticism have taken their toll, and Collins says he has little desire to create more music beyond his new disc of Motown covers, Going Back. "I sometimes think I'm going to write this Phil Collins character out of the story," the singer says. "Phil Collins will just disappear or be murdered in some hotel bedroom, and people will say, 'What happened to Phil?' And the answer will be, 'He got murdered, but, yeah, anyway, let's carry on.' That kind of thing."

  • At Monday evening's VH1 Save the Music benefit, honoree John Mayer turned the attention to his favorite subject: himself.

    "They asked me if I wanted to load something in the teleprompter, but I've been doing so well lately, I might as well keep going," said Mayer, who was dressed in a blazer and an untucked grey shirt that he had buttoned to the top. It was true: The teleprompter was, for Mayer's speech only, completely blank. Mayer — who brought along College Humor founder Ricky Van Veen as his date — was introduced by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. So maybe he was in a boys-will-be-boys mood from the moment he got there.

    "I'm not philanthropic by nature," he said, noting that all his charitable efforts were due in part to his managers. And then: "Did you know you can send wine to someone after they give birth? I had no idea until I met [manager and former ATO Records president] Michael McDonald. He said, 'Let's send them a bottle of wine.' Wow! She just gave birth to a child. Vaginally.
