This just in via Zap 2 It:
*The show’s third season will kick off on Monday, Aug. 13 with Grammy and Oscar winner Randy Newman singing the semi-classic Malvina Reynolds track.
Following Newman, in no particular order, will be Joan Baez, Donovan, Billy Bob Thornton, The Shins, Michael Franti, The Individuals, Angelique Kidjo, Kinky and Man Man, Persephone’s Bees. At least four more singers are bound to be brought into the fold, since “Weeds” is producing 15 episodes for this fall.*
Wooo!
Can’t wait.
Previously: a selection of covers from Season 2 of the hit show.

I’ve never been a huge fan of The Shins (sue me) but I will admit that their latest video for Wincing The Night Away‘s second single, ‘Australia’, is adorable.
Watch the whimsical clip (which just got its debut today) below and dare to tell us you disagree…
Seems like this year’s MTVU’s Campus Invasion tour, unlike years past, will actually help out a social cause (it’s about damn time!). The shows (in 3 US cities) will assist in raising money & awareness for the ongoing crisis in Darfur; proceeds will benefit the Save Darfur Coalition. The organization will also have booths at the concerts where students can learn more about the cause.
The first show goes down at The Backyard in Austin April 22 and will feature the Shins, the Rapture, Shiny Toy Guns, and the Academy Is. The April 27 show at the Hi Fi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta is hip-hop-centric, with Rick Ross, Fabolous, Rich Boy, and DG Yolla. And April 29 at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia has Dashboard Confessional, K-os, Kenna, Gym Class Heroes, Augustana, and Kidz in the Hall. (dates/line-ups via Prefix)
