Just got some spam from the Warehouse regarding Dave Matthews Band some tour plans.  Interesting, they’re opening at Darien Lake on May 27.  Hmm, a two-fer at SPAC 2 weeks later (maybe a little Birthday trip, or early wedding anniversary celebration?)  Hold the phone, Syracuse on August 4th?  Now we’re talk’n. I may be too…

I always said I’d buy a lot more music if it were priced more reasonably.  Well, I just put my money where my mouth is.  Recently I stumbled on the fact that Amazon MP3 announces super duper deals on their Twitter feed. I’ve been meaning to try them out for a while, but today’s $1.99…

Leroi Moore, saxophonist and founding Dave Mathews Band member, has succumbed to injuries from an ATV accident earlier this year.  CNN story.  Rest in peace, brother;  you’ll be greatly missed. I’m sure the band will carry on, but it won’t be the same.

A while back (years ago, in fact) I stumbled on Hayseed Dixie (probably via KPIG, the home of all things good.) They’re a bluegrass band that covers all sorts of rock music, including AC/DC (their namesake), KISS, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and many others. Good stuff! The other day, I was messing around on the…

Recently, while digging through the Live Music Archive for something new to listen to, I stumbled on Umphrey’s McGee (excellent website too!). I had see the name a lot on both the Live Music Archive and etree; mainly when I scroll past them to find Dave Matthews Band stuff. This particular time, I stopped on…

Via digg, here’s a list of 20,000 free music videos on youtube. I’ll take their word for it on the 20,000 part, I didn’t count.  A bunch of good stuff: bruce, pink floyd, dmb, ben folds, johnny cash, you name it.  Ran into a few that say “No Longer Available” when you try to play…

A while back I found Apocalyptica, good stuff.  Today (via fark), I stumbled on Judgement Day (sic).  Same idea, but equally interesting.  Their trailer video on youtube rocks.  Looking forward to some good stuff from in them in ’07.

Fark had a pointer to this article, where they have some the same of old story about the popularity of Dark Side of the Moon. The newsworthy bits are a new upcoming book, The Dark Side of the Moon: The Making of the Pink Floyd Masterpiece and some random facts like the album’s was almost…

My iTunes update said the John Mayer performance from the Today Show last week was available for download. On the off chance it was a freebie, I fired up iTunes and poked around. Turns out they want $3.99 for a 22 minutes of footage. Sandy DVR’d the broadcast and what they showed wasn’t worth it.…

Caught a great interview and in studio performance of Ray LaMontange on NPR this morning. I’ve enjoyed his special brand of vocal since I saw as a Dave Matthews Band opener a few years ago. I highly recommend his first album, Trouble. His second album, Till the Sun Turns Black, due out next week looks…
