What we've learned today:
1. After a bombardment of messages on Twitter, NASA gave in to McFly fans and played their #1 hit Star Girl to astronauts orbiting Earth. Space scientist Dr David Whitehouse told BBC Radio 5 live: "I thought this was a way, not only to get in touch between astronauts and ordinary people, but to get down with the kids."
2. Marc Marot, former head of Island Records has suggested that musicians should have a clause in their contracts that allows their label to intervene in case artists suffer "personal problems", such as anorexia, depression and drug problems.
3. Both Google and Facebook are reported to be developing online music services.
4. The Rakes have split.
5. Field Music are set to release a double album in February 2010.
6. Bon Jovi are reported to be the first act to play New Jersey's new Meadowlands Stadium. As the Daily B-Sides previously reported, "the other" hometown hero, Bruce Springsteen, was the last artist to perform at the soon-to-be-demolished Giants Stadium.
7. Pavement have announced a second day at Brixton Academy in May next year.
8. Paul McCartney will play a Christmas concert at the O2 Arena on December 22.
9. Lil' Wayne faces up to a year in jail after pleading guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree.

Noche encantada.
Las estrellas,
en la inmensidad
de un cielo
cristalino, pintan
el ritmo de
un sueño silente
y también encantado
como el verso
del sol que
recuerda la rima.
