Dave Matthews Band? Still rockin!
I almost passed on Dave Matthews Band concerts this year. Since Ticketbastard has made it just about impossible to get good seats (with their no camping policies, inept clerks in person, and an inept website), its just not worth the money or hassle. Dave Matthews’ Warehouse fan club doesn’t help either (tickets cost even more…

No Reunion Tour Yet
Via Fark, femalefirst.co.uk reports that Pink Floyd has turned down offers of up to 150M Pounds (aka $262M ) to tour the US. Nutz. Let’s hope that this just a dirty rumor. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It’s Official. Hell has frozen over. Pink Floyd reunites.
Between MTV and aolmusic.com, I got to see Pink Floyd’s performance at Live8. Breathe, Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb. Freaking amazing. Even thought its been 24 years since the last time they all played together, you’d hardly notice. They were very tight and all in very good spirits. I was quite moved.…

Pink Floyd to Reunite
Whoa, big news, ladies and gentlemen. A while back I saw a rumor that Pink Floyd was reuniting to play for the upcoming Live 8 benefit concert. Like most Pink Floyd reunion rumors, I thought it was pure bunk. Especially when they said that Roger would be joining up too. To my great surprise it…

Serious Tunes: Apocalyptica
A while back, I stumbled on Apocalyptica. 3 words: heavy, metal, cello. Doesn’t get much harder than that. They’re probably most known for their Apocalyptica Plays Metallica album. I thought it was pretty good, but then I found some of their original material, which is even better. I’ve been enjoying them frequently on my iPod…

Blue Floyd
Spotted a plug for Blue Floyd in a the pinkfloyd2 group at Yahoo. Their sample cuts sounded pretty interesting, almost like cross between Pink Floyd and Phish. They were in the Syracuse area a few weekends back; unfortunately, I couldn’t talk anybody in going to the show. Somehow, I stumbled on the fact they’re taper…

iPod Heart Attack
Yesterday, I was updating iTunes on my PC and noticed that there was also an update to the iPod software. I think I missed the last update, so I figure its probably a good time to get caught up. So I download the 40Mb updater. I run the installer, it says connect your iPod and…

New Dave Matthews Band Ice Cream Flavor
Nancies.org reports that Ben and Jerry’s is rolling out another Dave Matthews Band themed flavor, Dave Matthes Band Magic Brownies. Hmm, the name is a little suspect considering usually tries to down play their stoner image. Not sure where that leaves their original DMB inspired flavor, One Sweet Whirled. Its not listed on the Ben…

New DMB Coming Soon…
The Dave Matthews Band put up a new site to promote their next album. Not much to see other than a decent video that has some sound bites from all the band members. The teaser bits of new songs in the video sound interesting. The band has switched to another pop producer (Mark Batson), I…

Next Time I’m Rich…
Here are some awesome (both in terms of beauty and expense) prints of Pink Floyd artwork at RockOptic (like the name!) On their site they also have some background stuff on the artist who does Pink Floyd’s memorable album covers, Storm Thorgerson. A new random factoid for me was he also did the Peter Gabriel’s…
