Bon Iver is "no longer winding down" as a project, said Justin Vernon as the lineup for this year's Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival was announced — featuring, as it did last year, Bon Iver. "You know, we’re not just gonna play the same set we did last year," Vernon told Billboard. Don't camp out at your local record store waiting for a new album yet, though: "I’ve been working on music, you know, man. It takes a long time, and I’m not sure exactly what it is or what it means to me, and until that happens I won’t really know exactly what sharing it will look like or feel like or when."

Lionel Richie has shared the — predictably bizarre — story of how he wrote "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson. During an interview with Kevin Spacey that was part of the ceremonies honoring Richie as this year's MusiCares Person of the Year, Richie remembered:

I’m at Michael’s house trying to write "We Are the World" and his dog is barking and his Mynah bird is yelling "Shut up" [repeatedly at the dog]. I see albums falling over. I look again and see more falling over and there’s an albino python [coming toward me]. I will admit I was screaming like a white woman. Michael goes, "Oh my God, Lionel. There he is, he wants to play with you." I know you want a spiritual tale about how we brought this song [to' you, but that’s how it was for three days.
