Coachella's 2011 lineup has been announced, and when the three-day festival kicks off in April, Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, and Kanye West will each headline a day. Other acts I'm excited about? The Black Keys, The Strokes, Best Coast, Cee Lo Green, The National, Sleigh Bells — just to name a few!

Coachella takes place on April 15, 16, and 17 at The Empire Polo Field in Indio, CA. Check out the full lineup when you read more

It's finally happened: the music of The Beatles is now available to buy on iTunes! After years of trademark debate, you can buy the legendary band's music from Apple. Though this is anticlimactic to huge fans who already own every Beatles album, it's still pretty huge (and it's encouraging me to listen to an all-Beatles playlist at my desk today).

So in the spirit of loving the Fab Four, I want to focus on the music and ask you if you have a favorite album (mine is a tie between Abbey Road and The White Album). I got a huge response from you guys when I asked what your favorite Beatles song is, so now, tell me, what's your favorite album?
