Here's what's going on in the music world.

Even though The White Stripes had to cut off their tour this fall because of Meg's "acute anxiety," they've reportedly reconvened in the studio to cut some new tunes. No word yet on where those will be turning up in the future.

Weezer's new record is reportedly in the can and should be ready for release in early 08.

The British press says Pete Doherty has been caught doing heroin on film, yet again, only 2 weeks after completing a court ordered drug rehabilitation program. Trainspotting anyone?

There is a Nirvana biopic in the works, and Universal has purchased rights to the band's ENTIRE catalog for use in the film. They must have had some bucks to throw around, yes?

Who's been following all the Radiohead news lately? Turns out about 62 percent of the people who downloaded Radiohead's "name your price" version of the new "In Rainbows" didn't pay a cent for it. But all the money that people did pay goes directly to the band, with no label middleman, so they still probably made more money already off this record than any of their previous releases. Plus, you have to take into account that some people are waiting for the higher quality official release early next year to actually put some money up for it.

AND DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP THE PAPER TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER SHOT AT WINNING TICKETS TO THE POLICE CONCERT NEXT WEDNESDAY IN PHILLY!

Don't forget to pick up The Mercury tomorrow for a chance to win some Police tickets! (more details here)

If you need more convincing, here's a video from this past summer's LiveEarth when The Police took to the stage with some pals to perform "Message In A Bottle." And by pals, I mean John Mayer on guitar and Kanye West jumping in to awkwardly add some freestyle to the classic anthem. Kanye seemed a bit out of place, but otherwise, pretty slick stuff. Enjoy!

In honor of the tickets we're giving away to see The Police (look in Time Out on Thursday or the Sunday paper to win), the top 5 for this week will be our favorite 5 Police songs to groove to here in the Scene & Heard office. And believe us when we say it was darn hard to leave "Mother" off this list.

The Top 5 Police tunes
5. Synchronicity I - if this fiery tune doesn't get you charged, you're probably a turtle stuck on your back. That, and completely lame.
4. Roxanne - no one felt bad for uh... hookers till this song broke the group into the limelight
3. Deathwish - a barn burning groovefest of punky awesomeness.
2. King of Pain - self-martyrdom and pity never sounded so gorgeous. Or awesome!
1. Message In A Bottle - too anthemicly powerful to not top the list. Sounds as relevant now as it did when Reagen was president. Relate it to love, or politics, or life in general, and it hits home just as hard.
