Music: Thom Yorke’s new backup band features Flea. Yes, THAT Flea.

Thom Yorke and his backup band
  • Despite having a super-famous Red Hot Chili Pepper as his bassist, the rest of the Radiohead singer’s solo band certainly couldn’t be called a cast of unknowns either. They include really well-known session drummer Joey Waronker, Brazilian-born Mauro Refosco and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Oh, and Flea. Wasn’t he in The Big Lebowski?source

Music: Will Ferrell ≠ Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith

  • Don’t tell that to Chad Smith’s unwitting fans, though. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are arguably as famous, if not moreso, than Will Ferrell. But drum-pounder Chad Smith still suffers from mistaken identity. “I’m nice to these people,” Smith says. “(I say) ‘No, I’m not.’ But they’re like, ‘I loved you in Old School. You’re so funny.'” We suggest that Smith get a more distinct persona, like Flea. Now that guy you wouldn’t mistake for a movie star. source
