Rewind: This Week's Buzz
- In addition to ABC's Thursday night lineup returning from the strike-induced break, the CW got its teen (and slacker) drama on with the return of Gossip Girl and a new episode of Reaper. One magazine even crowned GG the best show ever, but what show do you think reigns supreme over all teenage dramas?
- Guess what? I'm off to the Tribeca Film Festival and am so excited and curious to see some of the movies I've been previewing all week, including a film with Mariah Carey in it.
Song of the Day: My Morning Jacket, "Evil Urges"
Despite a rambling explanation of how much they love opening up — and smelling — a brand-new CD or vinyl record, My Morning Jacket has put online the title song off their upcoming album Evil Urges. They describe how old-fashioned they are when it comes to not wanting the entire album to be available online, but then they quote Tom Petty ("The waiting is the hardest part") and posted "Evil Urges" for all to enjoy.
And it is enjoyable.

Coachella Music Fest Lineup: Hipsters, Start Your Engines!
While the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival has become a giant, crowded experience that has gone increasingly Hollywood over the years, the festival still continues to book some pretty excellent bands. At first glance, this year's lineup, announced Monday at a press conference in Mexico City, has some folks feeling underwhelmed. Still, there's enough good stuff planned for the three days of fun in the Southern California desert that music fans like myself will still want to get busy mapping out the bands they want to see from April 25 to 27.
Honoring Elvis: Three "Suspicious Minds" Covers
Today marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, and it seems wrong not to honor The King with a musical interlude. I got a little depressed browsing the photos of late-model Elvis — man, did he look rough in the end — so I'm cheering myself up with one of my favorite Elvis songs, "Suspicious Minds," which is widely credited with fueling his 1968 comeback.
The high-energy anthem has been covered an astounding number of times in myriad different ways.
