A lithe, Afro-pop-tinged tune, it's borne aloft on frontman Chris Martin's falsetto, which is itself wrapped around evocative lyrics that conjure images of love, youth and the freedom of gorgeous weather. "The sky could be blue, I don't mind/Without you, it's a waste of time." sings Martin, all but ensuring you'll hit the repeat button (frequently just as soon as this one-of-a-kind track fades from the speakers - Preston Jones Albert Brooks on "Weeds' 3 Showtime's comedy about the adventures of dope-dealing single mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) has made some good moves in its brand-new fourth season, but its best move is bringing Brooks on board as Nancy's cranky father-in-law, who didn't approve of Nancy before she started selling pot and, of course, has some peccadilloes of his own. Few people do self-absorbed neurosis better than Brooks, but he's added a grumpy edge to this role that fits right in with this series' broad satire - Robert Philpot Star-Telegram critics' Fab Five for the week in arts and entertainment 'The Unforeseen' 2 Austin filmmaker Laura Dunn examines a problem not unique to Austin - overwhelming growth documentary. The movie includes themes about in this environmentalism and Texas pride yet tries to understand the developer who proposes a subdivision that threatens a beloved local landmark. Most advocacy documentaries these days preach to the converted, but Dunn's thoughtful film finds several sides to the story, even as she lets you know which side she's on.

But that makes him sound academic and bureaucratic when he's neither. He offers more proof of that with his latest album, a sublime and sparkling blend of Afro-Brazilian romanticism, reggae cool and R&B swagger. Though entirely in Portuguese, Banda Larga Cordel is absolutely accessible to anyone. Gil is in the midst of his first tour of the US with a full band since 1999, but, alas, there are no sites closer than Colorado. Our loss - Cary Darling Adele, "Chasing Pavements' video 4 This video featuring 19-year-old British singer Adele has been out for a while, but it's still worth noting for its dreamy melancholy: Adele comes upon a car accident, and as she check it out, two people thrown from the car begin dancing during the chorus of her song - all while still lying on a sidewalk. It all culminates in a group shadow dance during the last big chorus.
