Our Wednesday Morning Download columnist, Thomas Bartlett, is far too professional to plug a track that he plays on. So we will: Thomas plays piano for Chocolate Genius on this lovely cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love." (Free download available here.) Marc Anthony Thompson (aka Chocolate Genius) adds his own anti-Bush touch to the song, in case you don't recall Jimi singing "Go back to Texas" in the original.

Back inside: Eminem's ex-wife, Kim Mathers, is back in jail after it was determined that she'd dropped out of a drug treatment program.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Sopranos": Frankie "Rag Doll" Valli might not be a mobster, but he plays one on TV, having joined the cast of "The Sopranos." Then again, Valli says he's not wholly unfamiliar with the types of characters featured on the show. "Coming from Newark, N.J., I've certainly been around a lot of that," the vintage singer says.
