It's hard to believe, but Santana released Supernatural 10 years ago. Not only did the album go platinum 15 times in the US, but it sold 25 millions copies worldwide and won nine Grammy Awards. The album featured guest spots from Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Cee-lo to name a few. The Onion recently ran a great piece about the song "Smooth", which appeared on the album and featured Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.

Hump Day Happenings

• Judge blocks surviving members of Sublime from touring under the bands name
• Hear the first single from the collaboration between Beck & Charlotte Gainsbourg
• Jack White says no to Slash
• Cristiano Ronaldo should stick with football

Finally, Dave Grohl thinks the release of the Foo Fighters Greatest Hits is a bit early in his estimation. The only reason it is being released is because of a contractual obligation with Song/BMG. It's hard to imagine that they have been around for 15 years!
