As weird as that sounds, these guys actually hit pretty close to the mark. Their latest effort, 'Bodies Coasting,' is a tale of underwater romance and offers a window to the world illustrated in their second of two EPs released to date, 'Plastique Universe II: Pisces Princess.' To aid the aforementioned journey of phantasmagorical transcendence, the band commissioned a stop-motion video to make their vision come to life. "'Bodies Coasting' is an underwater adventure that introduces the viewers to a dimension dweller and a deep sea siren who meet and fall in love on a miniature island," the band tells Spinner. "Lucas Millard and Kate Stryker created this little stop-motion masterpiece and we couldn't be more thrilled to have hooked up with such strange and kindred spirits."

According to the late singer's father, Mitch, there's never going to be a biopic. Speaking with the Daily Mail, Mitch Winehouse said he'd block efforts to make such a movie by denying the filmmakers rights to Amy's material. "It would hardly be a biopic without the music, and we'd never allow the songs to be released," he told the newspaper.

Who knew that years of singing Adult Contempary hits could be so detrimental to your health?

Legendary crooner Barry Manilow is undergoing surgery to repair torn leg muscles and fix a nasty case of bursitis in his hips. The 68-year-old singer told People, "That's what you get when you jump around to 'Copacabana' for 30 years! Wish me luck!"

This isn't the first time Manilow, who recently wrapped his 1,000th show at the Las Vegas Hilton, has battled medical problems. He told Spinner back in June 2011 about a procedure to remove benign tumors from his mouth that made it very difficult to sing. "It was touch and go for a while there," he said. "They patched me up, but for a couple of years, I nearly spit those two front teeth at the audience. I had a big cyst up there, and they had to remove a piece of my palette. It was a rough patch, but I'm all better now."
