However, as guitarist Graham Coxon pointed out, the band won't be playing complete new songs just yet. "We wouldn't want to just sling stuff together to play this summer [at gigs including shows in Manchester and London's Hyde Park]. It wouldn’t be right.

Weezer, the Eagles and Christina Aguilera are supposed to kick off their own stations next month. All songs will be chosen by the artists, and there will be moments where their own music will be played alongside exclusive interviews and commentary. Stations will be available through Clear Channel websites, artists' widgets, and the iPhone and Blackberry's iheartradio app. [Paste Magazine]
