- Coldplay revealed to us that the title of their new album was Viva la Vida, which you all found to be amusing. Chris Martin and Co. later changed the album title to Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends, which you all still found to be amusing. We also went inside the studio with the band to hear and preview their opus.
- We predicted the Raconteurs would release their second album next week, ruining the surprise when it was confirmed later that day by the band. Although we were all supposed to be greeted by the album on Tuesday, iTunes accidentally leaked the thing this morning before turning off the faucets. We’re listening to Consolers of the Lonely right now. Are you?
- The LA Times implicated some Diddy associates in the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur. Diddy denied the accusation, but the story’s scribe stuck to his guns.
- We finally made it back from SXSW with videos of Perez Hilton, Sara Bareilles, Pharrell and Paramore in tow. We also reminisced about our favorite new bands, talked with Tom Morello and got way too little sleep. Check out all our coverage here.
- Over in the editors’ ultra-swank Capri Lounge blog, we asked chef David Chang what is it about his food that inspired Elvis Costello to name his new album after it, re-analyzed a forgotten LL Cool J classic and complained about the problematic lack of hoverboards.
