Dinosaurs, Engineers, Queens, and Illinois
< author: j dub >I have been back from my vacation now for a couple of days and I haven’t posted anything (I’m sorry Bobby). So let me hip you to some of the stuff that’s been on my mind.
I heard Justin Hawkins (frontman for The Darkness ) sang the finale with Queen last night at their gig in London’s Hyde Park. I would definitely slug a Keystone to have seen that. | Link
Q and Not U no more! Bummer. | Link
Hot Snakes too? WTF! | Link
We all know that Live 8 was last weekend. I heard most of it on XM (including the Coldplay performing “Bittersweet Symphony” with Richard Ashcroft!) and it sounded good. For those of you who didn’t catch it click the link and you can stream every artist’s performance. (via Goldfiddle) | Link
Since Relative Theory and Ending East have been booking shows for about 5 years now, it’s always fun to see bands riders. Want to see what the White Stripes ask for? | Link
It’s great when creative bands that we know and have played our store get credit for thinking out of the box. | Link
We started giving away Arthur Magazine last week, have you seen their Arthurfest line-up? Fucking incredible | Link
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it. I’m trying to go here. | Link
Anyone going to Dinosaur Jr tonight? | Link
