Hanson Cover Slipknot And More Musical April Fools' Pranks

April 1 has always been the date some of the biggest bands on the planet decide to make some of the strangest announcements ever.

On this very day last year, Coldplay announced the release of their brand-new fragrance, Angst, a musky, aromatic mixture of "sangre, sudor and lágrimas" that came packaged in a "Brian Eno-designed bottle." And fan sites of "American Idol" fave Adam Lambert took it upon themselves to break the news that not only would Lambert star in the annual "Radio City Christmas Spectacular" but a remake of MGM's "Wizard of Oz," alongside fellow "Idol" alum Carrie Underwood (strangely, none of those things actually ended up happening).

Two years ago, Kid Rock chose April 1 as the date to announce he'd acquired the naming rights to his hometown Detroit Tigers' stadium, while Trent Reznor dropped his Strobe Light album, a collaboration with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys. Coldplay and Björk also broke big news, announcing that they were recording an album in zero gravity and touring with the reunited Led Zeppelin, respectively.

So, needless to say, this year, we were ready for anything. And like clockwork, the bizarre headlines started pouring in.

First up was the news that squeaky-clean Oklahoma trio Hanson had decided to release an album of Slipknot covers, in an apparent attempt to channel their inner rage.

"We have always cited classic soul and rock and roll as an inspiration," drummer Zac Hanson told Shockhound.com. "But we have had longtime respect for heavy metal bands like Slipknot who capture true angst."

The brothers also released a video of themselves rehearsing a cover of Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed," and though their 'Knot album still has no title or release date, it will apparently also feature re-workings of "Skin Ticket," "The Heretic Anthem," and "People = Sh--."

Next came the rather shocking announcement from avant-noise label BLR Records that they had partnered with none other than Insane Clown Posse to release Magnets, Bitches and Tape Loops, a collection of experimental recordings available only as an LP with "a full-color custom-made book-bound sleeve and 29-page booklet of lyrics, photos from the infamous studio sessions and di-- jokes," and in an ultra-limited ebony box, complete with ivory inlay ("no elephant was spared for this release"), a bonus remix album (Magnets, Seriously, How Do They Work?) and a collection of sundry that includes "a coupon for a free bottle of Faygo, a miniature hatchet ... and a signed and numbered certificate in what we think is blood but actually is bar-b-que sauce."

And of course, the guys in Coldplay didn't let us down. Visitors to their official site were greeted on April 1 with footage taken from the BBC's long-lost 1957 documentary on "the wonderful spaghetti harvest" being held in the Swiss canton of Ticino. In the gripping film, we watch the time-honored tradition that takes "home grown Swiss Spaghette" from the vine (or tree) to the table, and as you probably remember, the 1957 harvest was especially bountiful, given — as the documentary explains — "the virtual disappearance of the Spaghette Weevil."

And after watching it, not only are we hungry, but we're puzzled too. What is it about April 1 anyway?

Lady Gaga To Be V Magazine Columnist

Pop star, entrepreneur, philanthropist: Is there anything Lady Gaga doesn't find the time to do? Well, it seems that she's made room in her schedule to add a new job to her ever-growing résumé.

Gaga just announced she will have a column in V magazine. "I begin next month as a Fashion+Art Columnist for @VMagazine," she tweeted.

In an e-mail to MTV News, the magazine revealed that her first column, in which Gaga "will be gracing us with the presence of her pen [as] she weighs in on all things fashion throughout her multiverse," will appear in the summer issue of V, out on May 12. And she's even letting her little monsters get in on the fun.

In a project called, fittingly, "Drawn This Way," the magazine will hold a running contest allowing fans to submit drawings of their Mother Monster; the best one will run as the author headshot alongside Gaga's column. Gaga and the magazine will pick the winners together.

All media are welcome, and the magazine adds, "We are asking all artists, creators and little monsters to submit illustrations of our new columnist dressed in her most studious ensemble."

In the same tweet, Gaga added, "I'll be resurrecting 'TRANSMISSION GAGAVISION' episodes starting next week!" "TG" was the star's Web series that gave fans an inside look at her life. There are no further details yet on the rebooted series.
