This week we were pretty jazzed about the 20th anniversary of Sub Pop, an influential record label with a roster that ranges from grunge legends Nirvana and Soundgarden to indie chart-toppers the Shins and the Postal Service. We celebrated by listening to Executive Vice President Megan Jasper's 21 favorite releases, then told you about a few of our own. We talked to Fleet Foxes about what being on the label means to them, and we even went straight to the source with a VIP tour of Sub Pop HQ. In case you're still fuzzy on what makes the label a musical treasure, get caught up with this quick three-minute history.

Now that Scott Weiland’s reunion with the Stone Temple Pilots is finally official, what’s next for Velvet Revolver, the band the singer was booted from just last week?

Meanwhile, Cornell – who gave props to “American Idol” cover coverer David Cook on Seacrest’s show earlier in the week -- also said this upcoming solo album, which could be released as soon as next month, is the highlight of his career (of course it is).

Yeah.

We don't mean to sound that cynical but really, what do you think - interesting or ridiculous?
