Sleeper Agent Talk cruising with Weezer
Indie label Mom + Pop Records, home to acts like Sleigh Bells and Metric, is poised to have another breakthrough band in Kentucky rockers Sleeper Agent. It seems like a good deal for everyone involved. "They're a true indie label; you know everyone that works there and you can just talk to them any day you want," raved singer Alex Kandel backstage at Rolling Stone's Rock Room party for the second weekend of Coachella.

Fanfarlo Battle car trouble at Coachella
During the first weekend of Coachella, Fanfarlo traveled all the way from their native London only to be felled by car trouble outside the event grounds. "We were gutted because there were so many good bands on Friday. We wanted to see Pulp and Mazzy Star and all these bands," lamented singer-guitarist Simon Balthazar at Rolling Stone's Rock Room party during the second weekend of the festival.

April Scum Showers: Peter Travers on the Month's Worst Movi
April is over, so it's time for Peter Travers to toss the worst movies of the month into the Scum Bucket, the disgusting repository for Hollywood's foulest junk. There were a few good movies in April, like the Jack Black vehicle�Bernie�and Joss Whedon's hilarious horror movie�The Cabin in the Woods, but the month's films were mostly awful. In this segment, Travers tosses�The Raven, Safe, The Five-Year Engagement, Lockout, Detention, Think Like A Man, The Lady, Darling Companion, The Three Stooges�and�The Lucky One�in the bucket.

Nero Battle the daylight at Coachella
Coachella may be widely known as a peaceful, immaculately organized festival, but not all of its performers were pleased during the event's second weekend. Sunday's set times were pushed back 20 minutes to facilitate the headling set between Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, leaving the dubstep trio Nero with a late-afternoon start time. "We're basically bringing a big light show and video show, and we normally perform in dark places. It was kind of a stipulation," explained member Daniel Stephens at Rolling Stone's backstage Rock Room party.

Tupac, who? When the Black Lips stopped by Rolling Stone's Rock Room party for the second weekend of Coachella, they had just usurped Snoop and Dre's famous hologram. "Biggie came out and did a song with us," they explained of their afternoon set the day prior. "He did 'Hypnotize.'" However, the Atlanta garage punks %ndash currently touring in support of their Mark Ronson-produced LP, Arabia Mountain %ndash didn't quite have the $500000 budget that Snoop and Dre did, so they improved with slightly more modest projections.

Borgore Gets too hot to handle at Coachella
The Israeli DJ-producer Borgore got a bit too risqu� for Coachella organizers' tastes at his performance during the festival's first weekend. "The second weekend set is different because on the first weekend, we had two pole dancers and we made them strip down to pasties. Coachella weren't feeling that," explained the former metal drummer turned dubstep star at Rolling Stone's Rock Room party. Despite the live show reconfiguring, Borgore (real name: Asaf Borger) was pleased to perform in the dance-driven Sahara tent with so many of his friends and EDM peers.

"I used to play acoustic guitar all the time. In fact, Ringo used to say, 'Don, you never stop playing guitar,'" he recalls.

Mastodon members Bill Kelliher and Brann Dailor stopped by the Rolling Stone studio recently to explain how they connected with Feist to record a split single for Record Store Day, and why they cast aside the complicated structures and thematic framework of their previous records when they made their latest album, The Hunter. "As soon as we decided to abandon the whole concept album, that opened up a whole new avenue for subject matter we had been wanting to use but didn't fit into the confines of whatever particular concept we were working on," says Dailor.

Peter Travers is fed up with Nicholas Sparks, the author behind sappy tearjerkers like The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and the new movie, The Lucky One. Travers admits that he cried while watching the film, but it's because he weeps for the future of movies if Hollywood continues to make these awful pictures based on Sparks' dopey romance novels. If you're seeing The Lucky One, Travers wants to know why. Let him know in the comments below, on Twitter or via e-mail. From: RollingStone Views: 365 7 ratings Time: 04:13 More in Entertainment
