Dave Grohl Devotional Candle by Danny Gonzalez.

There are two types of people in this world: Those who create bizarre fan art and sell it online, and those who contemplate purchasing it. (We wish we were the former, but we're more of the latter). In case you were curious as to where you could purchase a handmade Dave Grohl finger puppet or hand-painted wine glass--we got you covered. Here are some fun (and somewhat bizarre) items Dave Grohl fans are creating.

It may be blasphemous, but we can justify wanting this Dave Grohl devotional candle by saying he's the 'God of Rock,' right?

Attendees at last years Coachella

It's almost crunch time and Coachella line-up announcements should come about at the end of the month. Yet, this still leaves a couple of weeks of fake-line up posters, rumors, speculation and "leaks" to go around the internet and spread like wildfire. Remember when we could buy tickets at the door the day of the fest? Yeah those were the good old days. Today we have to deal with sell outs, scalpers, fence hoppers, astronomical prices for lodging and sitting at the edge of our seats hoping that this years line-up will be worth all of the fuss (yet it always is, isn't it?). So what can we expect under the desert sun of the Empire Polo Field this year?

We wanted to make a post featuring a collection of insightful, meaningful anecdotes famous musicians had tweeted this past week, but no one was sharing anything worthwhile (trust us). So instead, we turned to you for entertainment, and searched to see if anyone was talking about the music scene in Orange County. Here's what we found...

Tonight, S.M. Entertainment-- the premier publishers and masterminds behind Korean pop music--invade the Honda Center, bringing with them marquee acts Girls' Generation, Super Junior, SHINee and TVXQ. Likely to attract any local K-Pop fan worth their salt, the S.M. Town Live World Tour III is an evening-long celebration of candy-coated synth beats, coordinated dance moves and hot young Korean stars that usually only roll in packs of five or more.South Korean television and radio giant Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (better known as MBC) is co-hosting the show with S.M. in celebration of the network's 50th anniversary.

For those looking for an excuse to practice some shrill, adolescent screaming before the show starts, we've compiled five K-Pop jams from your favorite artists that are guaranteed to boost your excitement (and your hormones).

Snoop was not in the building

Maybe it was the fact that we had to sit in downtown rush-hour Los Angeles traffic before we got to the Grammy Museum. But probably, it was the fact that we pressed through such a long, shitty day because the light at the end of the tunnel was the knowledge that after trying for so many damn years, we were finally going to get to meet Snoop Dogg -- and had just learned that tha Doggfather wouldn't be sitting on the panel discussing the new VH1 documentary titled Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A. Riots.

Whatever the case, we was pissed when the woman next to us asked if we would stop taking pictures because the beeping on our camera was preventing her from hearing.

​You know it's a slow news day when you're following news on TMZ, who reports that David Silveria, Korn's former drummer (1993 to 2006), was arrested in Huntington Beach on 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning.

The 39-year-old Silveria, who just recently joined the rock band INFINIKA, told TMZ that he "blew a 0.0 on the breathalyzer during his DUI arrest this week ... but says cops nailed him anyway over a sleeping pill he took the night before."

​File this under "if everybody else is doing it, we may as well be doing it as well." After years of resistance, the Beatles have finally given into the temptation (or have adapted to the times) and have allowed the songs of their #1 album to be sold as ring tones. Though this would have been in news in 2006, it still stings a bit.

To me, the Beatles holding out was one of the last bastions of rock purity. Yes, there are a few bands left who are fighting completely digitizing their music (AC/DC comes to mind), but for the lads from Liverpool putting out their music in this fashion means that the digital revolution is almost complete and there's no turning back or any sense hiding from out now. Buying music online is not only an accepted practice, but in a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only way to purchase music. Having your music available on iTunes or Amazon is fine and dandy, but ringtones? I don't think I've heard an adult have a ringtone in years (and that's who I think EMI is targeting with this release).

​Jack White is releasing a solo album. It will be called Blunderbuss. You can buy the song "Love Interruption," on  www.jackwhiteIII.com, but Blunderbuss won't be out 'til April 24. We're not sure how we feel about this...the White Stripes may have been Jack White's brainchild with the addition of a hot chick drummer/mythological sister, but it was awesome, and a helluva lot to live up to.

Many duos, after splitting up, have released solo efforts that don't inspire the same passion (or loyalty from their fans). White may describe Blunderbuss as "an album I couldn't have released until now...[and] had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas," but we hear that's the same sentiment John Oates expressed when he released 2002's Phunk Shui.      

Alors--here are five solo efforts that were released by former members of duos that didn't quite make the cut.
