ABBA drummer Ola Brunkert died when he fell through a glass window separating his kitchen from his garden at his home in Mallorca, Spain. He was found late Sunday: Apparently, the glass shattered, slicing his throat. There's no announcement at ABBA's site, but you can read more at CNN. Our thoughts go out to his family and ABBA fans -- which is basically everyone, right? -- worldwide.

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...
