April already?

Some April fool's jokes and hoaxes from the music sites I frequent:

Housequake.com gives us an exclusive interview with Prince, but give it away all too easily by quoting Prince as verily speaking the unspeakable:

"I also loved to play with some old friends again. Sheila E., Michael B., Lisa, Wendy and of course it's great to have Tony M back too."

R.E.M.'s official website announces the band's "Wetness Rules" Tour in Europe this summer:

Following their legendary New Zealand "lakeside” performance on Saturday night, R.E.M. announced today that its upcoming European shows will be an “all wet” affair: every show will feature a front row pond (3’-5’ deep) so that completely crazed fans, as well as others just hot or tired, can enjoy a total immersion front row experience.

Plus, R.E.M. is ON! announces "Waiting to Happen", Peter Buck's upcoming solo album.

Also: Une Fille du Limmatquai points us to the Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of all Time. And Gmail goes Infinity+1.

Alright, back to English and back to seriousness. Just wanted to say I might not be blogging for a while - Natalie Portman and Katie Holmes asked me to be their personal masseur on their private yacht for the next 14 days. Will post reports, pics and (hopefully) videos once I get back.
