Oh the joys of the internet. Where else could you find such useless but highly entertaining information as whats on a pop stars rider? You know, riders? Those lists of delicacies that celeb musicians request for their backstage entertainment. Things like fancy fizzy drinks, A-list cheeses, import beers and those oh-so-lovable little finger sandwiches.
Now, thanks to some digging by The Smoking Gun, we have a fresh new batch of star riders to snicker at, such as those belonging to Björk, Rihanna, Rage Against the Machine and M.I.A.

6 x pairs of tube socks
6 x pairs of cotton boxer shorts (4 x large, 2 x medium)
1 x bottle Stages Leap Merlot of Cabernet
10 x bars of white soap
2 x bottles of Dom Perignon Moet et Chandon chamagne
