Nearly four months after Live Earth was denied permission to play Washington, D.C.’s Mall because it was reserved for 7/7/07, God and Al Gore straightened everything out. Live Earth Washington, D.C. will feature Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. The Beatles will soon soundtrack a diaper commercial, thanks to the “All You Need Is Luvs” campaign, a take-off of the Fab Four’s “All You Need Is Love.” The Smashing Pumpkins let fans use YouTube as a platform to ask Billy Corgan a question. Our pick: What’s the difference between this and Zwan? The Roots will take a break from putting out thousands of albums to headline VH1’s Hip-Hop Honors tour this autumn. Check out Spoon’s one-take new video for “The Underdog,” which is exactly like Richard Linklater’s Slacker without all the intellectual jargon.
