Everything's gone covers crazy this week, with new spins on soul classics, numerical delights, and the return of Marianne Faithfull.

After years on hold, a punk-rock superstar "sing-along" side project featuring members of Bad Religion, NOFX, Social Distortion, and the Adolescents has finally been released, bringing the old-school party to basements and family rooms across suburbia. Calling themselves simply Punk Rock Karaoke, the original New Year's Eve spectacular was conceived in 1996 by Bad Religion/Circle Jerks guitarist Greg Hetson and went on to play a variety of weddings, bar mitzvahs, and the Warped fest before putting the madness to tape in 2001.

The long awaited return of Queen - well, at least half of the band - arrives this coming Tuesday with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor backing former Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers. The stargazing album's title The Cosmos Rocks is rather fitting, with May's recent doctorate in astrophysics. Sorry, but his Ph.D. thesis, A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, is not included in the liner notes.

The craziness continues here at Daytrotter.com headquarters this week. After an action-packed weekend of recordings with Cold War Kids, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Catfish Haven, and Locksley, we aren't slowing down. So far this week, we've recorded Parenthetical Girls, Gringo Star, sBach (a new project by Spencer of Hella), Ben Kweller, Whitley, and Annuals. Also coming into the studio this week are Crooked Fingers, Le Loup, Brighton, MA (who played a spectacular set at Sunday's Catfish Haven show at Huckleberry's), Samantha Crain (on The Avett Brothers' label), Wire (the legends), and Man Man.
