Sleeve Notes: Our 1,000th New Band of the Day

A thousand days and nights he laboured, but finally Paul Lester reached a milestone in his coverage of new bands, even if it cost him his marriage along the way ?

Five things we discovered about New Band of the Day (and its author)

Uncovering 1,000 New Bands of the Day ruined Paul Lester's life

Despite that, he's still uncovering new bands to love

And he's even found time to talk about it on Music Weekly

Fantastic Mr Fox was so chuffed about the Lester seal of approval he made a special mixtape

And so did Millionyoung ?

Five things we learned this week

The Stone Roses won't be getting back together

Bob Dylan played the place where protest music must not be heard

Why should Kate Bush write her own lyrics when James Joyce can do it?

The Flaming Lips are following U2 into musicals

And Plan B is the new Dennis Waterman

Five more things we learned on the music site this week

Nile Rodgers has lived a colourful life

Auto-Tune is pop's best friend. No, really

Headliners aren't always nice to support acts

Jared Leto's got a bit of a thing for Kurt Cobain

You don't need to wait for another Fever Ray album to hear some spooky pop

And finally ?

We've got TV On the Radio's lovely new album for you to hear

About Group came in to our studios to play us a song

Our @guardianmusic Twitter is still there, demanding to be followed as always
