Another week of music, just in time to celebrate the life of the second most talented Presley. Lisa Marie is number one, of course.

My peyote dealer is stoked, The Strawberry Alarm Clock are coming to Portland! No, seriously, along with bands like Love, the Alarm Clock are one of the most interesting (and overlooked) bands in the long history of rock music.
MP3: Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense & Peppermints

The folks behind Cloud Cult overcome tragedy and sing about all that is good in this world.
MP3: Cloud Cult - Transistor Radio

Like a good tennis match, the ex-Uncle Tupelo battle between Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar has gone back and forth. First set went to Farrar, as early Son Volt was far superior than Wilco’s sloppy start. But then Tweedy roared back and seemingly finished off his old bandmate for good with a flawless trio of releases (Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot). But then the unexpected happened, Wilco got really boring. Let’s just hope at the end of their respective careers, the winner hops the net to congratulate the loser.
MP3: Wilco - Either Way

Before his stripe was white (and red), Jack White used to be in The Go, who are now back and paying homage to the vintage days of rock.
MP3: The Go - Caroline

Also, don’t forget Mandy Moore. She’s like totally serious these days. Yeah, seriously adorable!
MP3: Oh, hell no. We’ll write about her, but it ends there.
