Franz Ferdinand covers Britney Spears

Franz Ferdinand covered Britney Spears "Womanizer" on BBC's Live Lounge.

Well, I actually like this version better than Brit's.

Together Through Life

Can you feel the change coming? Bob Dylan sure do. “Feel a Change Comin’ On” is a former unreleased track that's going to be in Dylan's 33rd studio album Together Through Life, you can listen to the song stream exclusively on Newsweek website. I'm always excited to see Dylan playing anything, whether his old or new materials, can't wait to get my hand on this one! Together Through Life will be out April 28.

What a great week! I still couldn't wrap my head around after the Oasis gig, being so close to the stage and just a few feet aways from Noel was a mind-blowing experience.
