The Strokes Have Mercy, plus Thom Yorke and Henry Rollins, Bob Mould Reports to the Dance Floor, "Dirty Water" Suit

• The Strokes have reportedly recorded a version of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me" with Eddie Vedder and Josh Homme. Easy, fellas.
• Thom Yorke will appear on The Henry Rollins Show to talk about his new solo album and his newfound love of Christina Aguilera. (Wait, that's me.)
• Bob Mould has announced the release of a "dance/pop" album called Blowoff. Welcome to the world of Advancement, Mr. Mould.
• The Standells aren't standing for Budweiser's using "Dirty Water" in commercials. Why a beer would want to tout dirty water is beyond me, but you'd think they'd at least ask to use it.
