Early-bird ticket holders for this year's Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival received a cassette that seems to tease the yet-to-be-announced lineup. The tape includes a new song by Fall Creek Boys Choir (Justin Vernon and James Blake), as well as music by members of The National; Bruce Hornsby (!); the recently-reactivated Fog; Taggart and Rosewood; Tickle Torture; Nathaniel Rateliff; and more. (Pitchfork) Below, listen to "Haven, Mass." — the previously-unreleased Bon Iver track heard on the cassette.

Fancy Ray sells quesalupas

Catch the last next train to Clarksville

The Monkees have announced plans to celebrate their 50th anniversary as a band. Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork are on board for a tour and new album; Davy Jones died in 2012, and it's not yet known whether Mike Nesmith will have any involvement with this reunion. ("He's always invited," says Dolenz.) Good Times! will feature new songs written by Noel Gallagher, Rivers Cuomo, Ben Gibbard, and others as well as songs written for the Monkees in the '60s — but not then recorded — by Neil Diamond, Carole King, and Harry Nilsson. The tour doesn't yet have any Minnesota dates, but more shows are being added. (Rolling Stone)

Oops

The Martin Guitar Museum has revealed that a guitar smashed onscreen in Quentin Tarantino's new movie The Hateful Eight was an actual vintage Martin six-string dating from the 1870s. Due to an apparent miscommunication on set, Kurt Russell grabbed the valuable guitar out of Jennifer Jason Leigh's hands and smashed it — instead of smashing a replica, as had been planned. The museum says it will no longer be lending instruments for use in films and television. (Billboard)

From the Dept. of "Thanks...I think?"
