Kot also mentioned a number of other bands confirmed for Lolla 2010, including: , , , , and .

The full lineup announcement isn’t supposed to be due until some time in April, but it looks like Perry Ferrell and C3 Presents may have a tough time keeping it under wraps. All the more fun for all of us though, right?

Here’s some links to help you get through your work day:

  • Watch “Side With the Seeds” from the new live DVD, Ashes of American Flags. [EW.com]
  • and his new band, , are getting out and playing their first show next week in NYC. I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff he’s got on drums. [PRODUCT SHOP NYC]
  • does “The Old Days” on a hacked together stage setup at Laundromatinee. Very cool. [YouTube]
  • went all double-bass on everyone’s ass at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. “Master of Puppets” killed it. [YouTube]
  • played a last-minute show here in San Francisco on Tuesday night, and Stereogum got a clip from the show even with Billy Joe telling everyone to put their cell phones away. LULZ. [Stereogum]

Finally, I thought I’d round up a selection of -related links separately considering that there’s going to be a huge focus on this band in the coming months. We’ll probably have tons more to share, especially when we start heading out on the road ourselves.
