Weezy and Chris Martin’s Crew Lead The Nominations… For the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, that is. The nominees were announced through a live concert this year, with performances by John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, and the Foo Fighters. Lil Wayne picked up eight nods while Coldplay has seven. Other leaders in the pack are Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Ne-Yo, all who tied for six. The ceremony airs February 9 live on CBS.

Bonnaroo Has Announced Dates… The glorious Manchester, TN music and arts festival will be held June 11-14, 2009, and in attempt to absorb some of those recession woes, you can pay for your tickets in installments! The tickets, which range between $209.50 and $249.50 (depends on when you get ‘em), can be paid $50 for each installment. Lame incentive, but worth a try.

Serj Tankian and a Musical?… Yep, you read it right. The System of a Down frontman will be collaborating with writer and Spring Awakening lyricist Steve Sater for a new musical titled “Prometheus Bound,” which will be based on the Greek myth Prometheus. They also say it’s a “rock musical.” Hmm, seems fitting (I guess?).

Add Fleetwood Mac to the List of Comebacks… The rock band have announced their first tour in five years that will begin in March 1, 2009 in Pittsburgh. Tickets for the “Unleashed Tour” will be on sale December 15. Though there hasn’t been word on a new album yet, member Lindsey Buckingham says that they may return to the studio after the tour is over.

Notorious B.I.G. Makes a Comeback of His Own… Well, sort of.

The biopic and album are due in January 2009.
