Playlist: The Summer Road Trip
We're smack-dab in the middle of Summer, and to me, there are few more quintessential Summer vacations than a good old-fashioned road trip. Of course, any good road trip needs a great Playlist, and there is no shortage of songs that pay tribute to motorized wanderlust.
In fact, when I made my trip cross-country several years ago, I asked all of my friends to burn mix CDs so I would have plenty to listen to en route.
Song of the Day: My Morning Jacket Covers the Band, "It Makes No Difference"
A while back I posted a Death Cab for Cutie track from the new Band tribute album, Endless Highway. But Death Cab could learn a thing or two about Band covers from Kentucky rockers My Morning Jacket, who contributed their interpretation of "It Makes No Difference" to the compilation.
It's fitting that MMJ should cover the perpetually touring Band, since My Morning Jacket is also incredible live, with its shows approximating a head-banging, guitar-shredding circus.
Song of the Day: Death Cab for Cutie, "Rockin' Chair"
Tribute albums can be hit or miss, but the forthcoming Endless Highway: The Music of the Band sounds pretty promising. Due Jan. 30, the disc has My Morning Jacket doing "It Makes No Difference," a rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by the Allman Brothers, and this cover of "Rockin' Chair" by Death Cab for Cutie.

Buzz In: Who Should Get Their Own Rock Band Game Next?
Following in the footsteps of this Fall's release of The Beatles Rock Band, similarly seminal band The Who may also get their own version of the game. Roger Daltrey has been quoted as saying that it's planned for next year, but the news is still unconfirmed by reps for the game. More certain is the fact that you probably won't be able to smash the peripherals when you're done playing.
What Artist (Living or Dead) Would You Want to See on Tour?
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band recently played the final show of their tour in Buffalo, but is it the last time we'll see ever them? Springsteen sure made it sound like a goodbye saying, "The E Street Band has come thousands of miles tonight to be here one last time — for a little while." I'm wondering exactly what "a little while" means .
Movie Preview: Ben Stiller Plays It Straight in Greenberg
I have a love/hate relationship with Ben Stiller movies. Over the years, I've grown tired of seeing him in the same everyman role again and again (with a few exceptions, like There's Something About Mary), but every now and then he throws a curve ball that pulls me back in. Greenberg already looks like one of the latter films.
Aziz Ansari Gets Three Thumbs Up From Judd Apatow
Am I asleep? Because this sounds like a match made in heaven — Judd Apatow (along with Universal Pictures) has just picked up not one, not two, but three comedies starring Aziz Ansari. The yet-to-be-written ideas were pitched by the Parks and Recreation star as well as Jason Woliner, who is on board to direct.

Buzz-Worthy Video: Beck, Feist, Wilco Performing Together
Guaranteed way to make me drop everything I'm doing and press play: tell me that Beck, Feist, and Wilco are collaborating. It's true; Beck recruited the folk chanteuse, the rock band, and British singer Jamie Lidell to join him to perform a tribute to '60s musician Skip Spence.
Their cover of Spence's song, "Little Hands," was recorded in the famous Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood in ultrahip black and white.
