Jimmy Kimmel's Coachella prank, DA's behaving badly and more links we love right now

Editor's note:There's so much that's beautiful, funny, smart and informative on the Internet. Problem is, there's also a bunch of garbage. Here's the best of the web right now:

1. Jimmy Kimmel tricks a bunch of Coachella attendees into pretending they've heard of nonexistent bands. As Kimmel puts it, "Music fans in general love knowing about bands that no one else has ever heard of." Apparently they also love bands they've never heard of. Our favorites include The Chelsey Clintons and Get The **** Out Of My Pool. Sounds like some real up-and-comers.

2. Travis County DA mouths off after drunk driving arrest and Dallas DA Craig Watkins gets sued for refusing to pay his roofer. After Judge Raymond Voet of Michigan found himself in contempt of court for using his cellphone last week, we thought elected officials might be infallible. Turns out they are just as depraved as the next drunk scofflaw. Side note: Watkins is countersuing the roofers for allegedly damaging his home.

3. Rebecca Martinson's insane sorority email gets parodied by Barbie. In case you missed this gem from the Delta Gamma chapter at the University of Maryland, catch up here. Then watch this video. Sisterhood!

4. This 14-year-old basketball player's highlight reel is NBA-esque. Seventh Woods has a whole lot more going on for him than a kick-ass name. Dude can ball. Hard.

5. Pint-sized Rangers fans remind us why we love baseball/America. In a word: Resilience.

Dallas is closing down the streets in Deep Ellum, the entertainment-driven neighborhood, this weekend.

According to a release, the Dallas Police Department will block off the streets on March 14 and March 15, Friday and Saturday night, to enhance public safety and manage both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

The plan includes an increased police presence, with officers strategically positioned at key locations to control the flow of traffic.

The closures will be in effect this weekend with future weekend closures to be determined at a later date.

The two major streets that will be blocked are Elm Street and Main Street, between Good Latimer Freeway and Malcolm X Boulevard.

Barricades will be set up at designated intersections of Elm Street and Good Latimer Freeway, as well as Malcolm X and Main Street.

All side streets leading into that area will be blocked as well including Crowdus Street, Pryor Street, and July Alley.

Traffic passing through will be open on Commerce Street on the south side of the neighborhood, and Monument/Indiana Street on the north side.

The street closures will start at 10 pm, but the time is flexible based on safety needs.
