Weekend reading: Jonas Brothers, Lil’ Wayne and Trent Reznor

I always keep an eye out for good articles on music. Here’s a batch I’ve seen this past week that are worth reading:

Lil’ Wayne doesn’t know who’s he playing with in Connecticut, but he knows he’s playing, Newsweek discovers.

Coldplay had to get past being hated to record its new album, we find out in Entertainment Weekly while singer Chris Martin tells Rolling Stone it’s hard not to want to be a success when your wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, dated Brad Pitt. I can’t decide if I should be sympathetic or not.

Mothers and daughters agree: the Jonas Brothers are all right, we find out in Billboard.

Trent Reznor is remodeling his kitchen, thinking about having a family and spending millions on concert production, the New York Times mentions. You may need to register with the NYT to access this article.

David Cook: Kansas City Royals fan? Yes. Foie gras fan? No. And does that really surprise you?

R. Kelly was acquitted.
