"I'm A Robot Like You," the latest offering from the Liverpool
alt-rock band the Wombats, pushes the band's sound to a new extreme of
aggression while retaining their addictive melodies and clever wordplay.
The band's second album, The Wombats Proudly Present... This Modern Glitch, is in stores now, but you can download the b-side of the band's latest single for free here.

Troubled funk legend Sly Stone has been living out of a white van
in Los Angeles following a long downward spiral of drug abuse and
financial mismanagement. "I like my small camper," Stone told the New York Post. "I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."

Stone,
68, is typically parked on a residential street in Crenshaw, a rough
neighborhood in the city that is best known as the setting for Boyz N the Hood.
A retired couple in the area provide the singer with food and a
restroom, and their son serves as his assistant and driver. Despite his
circumstances, Stone still works on music and records new material on a
laptop computer. He recently released his first album in two decades, I'm Back - Friends & Family.

Adele, who became one of the biggest successes in recent pop with
brokenhearted songs about a former boyfriend, has renewed her friendship
with her ex. "It's all right, I know what I'm doing," the British pop
star told the Independent. "Enough time has gone by."

She still hasn't identified her old boyfriend, whose departure
inspired "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and much of the rest
of Adele's breakout second album, 21.

"He changed my life, I can't deny that," the singer told the
newspaper. "The album helped me get over splitting up with my boyfriend.
It helped me forgive and I hope that he has forgiven himself."

If you're Sean Parker, the Napster/Facebook dude portrayed by Justin
Timberlake in the film "The Social Network," and it's a few days before
this year's Facebook developers' conference ("f8"), and you suddenly
decide you want to throw the party of the year, what do you do?
Apparently, the answer is buy a warehouse, invite four arena-sized
artists (Jane's Addiction, the Killers, Snoop Dogg and Kaskade) to
perform and invite your digital music industry VIP friends - such as
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek and Napster co-founder Sean Fanning - to accompany
you.

First, Parker and Ek had a brief powwow on stage - or, at
least, on a podium in front of around 300 audience members. They
discussed the obvious - Napster, Spotify, Facebook and Justin
Timberlake.

"Napster had instantaneous gratification, a service
that was easier to use than piracy," said Parker, candidly. "Solving
the piracy problem can't happen if you don't build a service that's more
convenient than piracy. Spotify was the first
