No Depression, the respected roots music magazine that ceased publication after 75 issues and 13 years, continues to live in cyberspace. In fact, come September the website, www.nodepression.net, will be relaunched in a revamped format. Founding editors Peter Blackstock and Grant Alden will be instrumental in the new version, which should include "daily blogs, daily record reviews, daily news reports, feature stories, live reviews, interactive forums, multimedia content, and more." No Depression published from 1995 to 2008.

What happened to the radio? I find myself shamelessly singing along to songs that would typically make me blush if anyone heard.

First, Katy Perry released her debut single "I Kissed A Girl" and I am not the only person who found the song way too catchy. I caught my mom singing it.

Time for a new preset.

As expected, Sugarland's Love On the Inside, now available in both deluxe and regular editions, sold 171,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and that's good enough to surpass Miley Cyrus' Breakout at the top of Billboard's pop albums chart. Breakout moved 163,000 copies and sits at No. 2. The other big CD sales news of the week is Third Day's Revelation, which sold 75,000 and enters at No. 6. That's the Atlanta-based Christian rock band's best sales week ever and best chart position in its decade-plus existence.

Sketch comedian Affion Crockett (of MTV's Wildin' Out fame) has succeeded in making me LMBO repeatedly with this brutal video parody of Lil Wayne's "Mr. Carter." If you're at work, the first Wayne verse might get you called into the office, so use caution and peep it on your first break or during lunch. Just promise me you won't eat or drink while you do, because you'll probably cause some major damage (especially when the hysterical "remix" drops at the end). Tell us what you think, enjoy!
