* "We felt like it's our music and we should own it ourselves. We want control over our music and our image," she says. "The only thing a label could offer us that we couldn't do ourselves would be money. You can give us money, but we already have the entire team of everything we need." That's Jessi Darlin, in a Reuters story about her band, Those Darlins.

* A little more on the new Brendan Benson album over at Consequence of Sound. (Check MBV for the new song.)

* The new EP by The Comfies will be called The Comfies Present: Benjamin A. Harper in This Ship Is Going Down and will be first in a trilogy. Release show will be July 17 at The End.

* Alan Jackson will be getting a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2010, along with Ringo Starr, Chaka Khan and Van Morrison. (CMT.)
