• The Post’s Marc Fisher said goodbye to his radio-centric column The Listener with a thoughtful look at radio’s golden past and its uncertain future.

•Anyone catch last night’s performance by Coldplay at the MTV Movie Awards? If colored confetti is what the band’s live performance is about these days, EMI has good reason to worry.

• A fire broke out early Sunday morning on a soundstage at Universal Studios, destroying the Courthouse Square set (named after the use of the space in Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future) and the King King attraction.
