The PBS series announced its 2009/10 lineup today and - no surprises here - it's a good one: a nice mix of new and timeless classics. I'm particularly excited to watch Them Crooked Vultures, a recently formed "supergroup" featuring Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones.--- The 35th edition of the popular show kicks off Oct. 3 with Dave Matthews who apparently is well enough to perform in Texas despite cancelling his gigs in Utah.
