I Read The News Today... For July 28, 2010

Win Butler says he will "forever give" Bono "credit" for "engaging with George W. Bush when he was president," no matter how much people slag the U2 frontman. We're less concerned about Bono as we are this codified endorsement of GWB by an "indie rocker." —NME
Kanye West might hate Twitter with every single part of his body and soul (even though he seems to have gotten an account), but he loves Facebook with all his heart. Proof? He debuted three new songs at Facebook's office (yes, their office) in Palo Alto, Calif. yesterday. Hope you enjoyed them and there wasn't any Auto-Tune, Mark Zuckerberg. —Rolling Stone
The death toll from the stampede at this weekend's disastrous Love Parade festival in Germany has risen to 20 after another person died in hospital yesterday. —ABC News
Spoooooooonmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaannnnnn! Soundgarden will play a pre-Lollapalooza gig in Chicago on Aug. 5. Break out your cargo shorts, grab your old flannel shirt, tie it around your waist and make sure your hair is down so you can whip it the fuck all over everywhere and annoy everyone around you. —Billboard
Bad Religion's new album, The Dissent Of Man, is out Sept. 28. The track listing is now online. —Blabbermouth
The white grand piano Elvis Presley kept at Graceland is being auctioned and is expected to fetch over $1 million U.S. (about $1.04 million Canadian). No, nobody died while playing it, you fucking creep. —BBC News
Rob Zombie is pissed off at Ozzy Osbourne for "stealing" his bandmates, calling Osbourne's tactics "shitty." Hey, Rob. Alice Cooper called. He said to stop stealing his look.
