THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE... ...with ROCKPILE, a band that featured old pals Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds cranking out the rootsy pub rock. Let's start with "Teacher, Teacher" and "I Knew the Bride," along with this clip of "Heart," featuring Billy Bremner, which is odd at the start. And here's the band rolling through Lowe's "So It Goes," and "Heart of the City," plus a cover of Elvis Costello's and "Girls Talk," which many associate more with Edmunds. THE BLACK KEYS share "Wild Child." WET LEG played "Wet Dream" and "Chaise Longue" on Fallon. FATHER JOHN MISTY sang "Goodbye Mr. Blue" on Colbert. PAVEMENT shares a video for their obscure B-side turned viral hit "Harness Your Hopes." BUFFALO TOM: The making of Let Me Come Over. GANG OF YOUTHS frontman David Le'aupepe talks to The Current. MAJOR LABELS are suspending biz in Russia. THE BEATLES: How 'A Hard Day's Night' Reinvented the Rock Musical. JUSSIE SMOLLETT, who was convicted of staging a racist and anti-gay attack against himself, was sentenced to 150 days in jail and ordered to pay restitution. GRIMES & ELON MUSK secretly had another baby, a girl named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk. PETE DAVIDSON will play a fictionalized version of himself in a new comedy series. OBI-WAN KENOBI: "We're going to see a very powerful Vader," promises a returning Hayden Christensen. DUNE: Austin Butler is in negotiations to play Feyd-Rautha in Part Two. BETTER CALL SAUL has a trailer for the final season. MY COUSIN VINNY: An Oral History. INDIE MOVIE THEATERS struggle to survive as release windows shorten. EMILIO DELGADO, the actor best known for his role as Luis on “Sesame Street,” has died at 81. DOGS, giving high fives at the Austin Marathon. THE BOX IS PACKED, ready to ship now. I'M NOT EVEN MAD, I'm impressed. I'M SORRY... were you going to eat that?
