Jack's Mannequin, the side project from Something Corporate frontman Andrew McMahon, played a new song at the Lollapalooza concert this past weekend. The song, entitled "Cellular Phone" indicates the JM will be returning for another album, though McMahon has previously said that Something Corporate has not disbanded.
The video quality isn't great, but there's also an MP3 below.

Pearl Jam also made waves at the festival; during their hit "Daughter", Eddie Vedder started singing Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall", interjecting the line "George Bush, leave this world alone". AT&T, which was streaming the weekend-long concert on its website, had a wonderfully convenient audio glitch during the song, so that fans watching on their computer heard nothing. Pearl Jam has expressed concern over the matter, and is encouraging fans to go to their website and report other politically motivated censorship incidents on the part of AT&T. On the other hand, AT&T swears that the glitch was not an act of censorship, and is working to correct the audio problem on the stream. Vedder made other politically charged statements in the concert that weren't edited, so I'm inclined to tell Pearl Jam to lighten up a bit, though I can see why they're so mad.
