WebTwitcher is unable to confirm whether beer tent misbehaviour and mud wrestling in soggy fields is included in the deal, however, I can confirm that over 50 NME video podcasts will be available for consumption on iTunes.

Included in the deal are exclusive interviews from this year’s festival season with bands like Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Kings of Leon, Muse, The Kooks, Dizzee Rascal, The Gossip, My Chemical Romance and such like. There's more on the new deal here.

NME.COM is also launching its new video channel this week, making over 100 of its exclusive interviews available in one place.

iPod fans already camping outside their local store in anticipation of the new iPod launch will no doubt be interested in playing with these new downloads to test the new functions in the latest model. Especially the WiFi and touch screen.
