2009 summer music preview

The hottest songs, albums, tours and other fodder for your '09 summer soundtrack

What will you be listening to this summer? That all depends. Are you into '90s nostalgia? Good news: There are reunion tours galore (No Doubt, blink-182), plus a few can't-miss double bills (NIN/Jane's Addiction). Do you still buy albums? Really? Then put Green Day's latest in heavy rotation. Like blasting those big, poppy summer jams? Black Eyed Peas (pictured), Sean Kingston and a girl named (we're not kidding) DeBarge have you covered. Hitting the club? A-Trak and MSTRKRFT will move you.
