For about 10 days Incubus converted what was supposed to be their rehearsal time into a very public event in a Los Angeles Miracle Mile art gallery.

This week Incubus reinvents itself, the Cool Kids rewind some classic hip-hop beats, Colbie Caillat reclaims pop music from the teases, and Blake Shelton wants to turn some of that "Voice" attention into country cash.

I recently caught up with Incubus to discuss their new album and how they're using a mix of online tools to bring their creativity and engagement with fans to another level.

The greatest minds of our times ought to be focused on making alternative energies a reality now. And while they do that, I'll use my lesser mind to make another silly but heartfelt playlist.
