Fans of the Ramones will have a chance to buy a piece of history when late frontman Joey Ramone's personal items go up for auction.

Perhaps one of the biggest purchases will be the singer's record collection, which encompasses 97 pieces of vinyl, including titles from Led Zeppelin, the Who, KISS, Bob Dylan, Elton John and T.Rex.

Other memorabilia up for grabs are items from Ramone's wardrobe, his passport, and handwritten lyrics.

The Dave Grohl "Chelsea Lately" takeover continues to yield headline-grabbing results as, last night, the Foo Fighters frontman interviewed Sir Elton John and revealed that both guest-star on the upcoming new Queens of the Stone Age album. [NME]

Dirty Projectors took on "Conan" last night with a mercurial rendition of "Offspring Is Blank" off of their acclaimed 2012 album, Swing Lo Magellan. Watch the performance below, and feel free to revisit their Interface session.

After rumors began circulating earlier this week, it has finally been confirmed that legendary jazz musician Donald Byrd has died.

According to a family member, the trumpet player and bandleader, born Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II, died Monday, Feb 4., at the age of 80. His cause of death has not yet been disclosed.

Byrd's nephew, Alex Bugnon, also a jazz musician, revealed to Amoeba that his family had been attempting to hide Byrd's death.

Highlight: "We were off very little sleep when we shot this video," lead singer Asa Taccone tells Spinner. "We'd played a show the night before and gotten back to our hotel only to wake up a few hours later and get on a train to be in Paris by 10AM. We showed up and just kind of winged it, having never rehearsed anything. All the dancers and choreographers were really nice. We kept going into these little back rooms, trying to sleep in between takes because we were so wiped out. We still keep up with some of the dancers. They were all nice kids."

There's a reason why the Beatles are arguably the biggest musical act in the history of ever.

Sure, part of that's the dozens of internationally recognized hit songs they recorded, but there's another side, too -- their cultural impact.

This week in musical history is a perfect example of that impact as it features the Fab Four (or their lawyers) fighting big computer companies, fighting the government, and basically changing the game via television.
