No kidding. I was browsing events on upcoming.org and my jaw nearly dropped when the event details finally finished loading. My computer is a dinousaur. Anyway, check it out.
This is the best thing I've discovered all night. It's a new social music site with a Digg-like interface. Sure, you've seen about a million of these things, but so have I and guess what? THIS ONE IS GOOD. So far I've seen new Swayzak, Black Dice, and Crystal Castles, and I've only been logged in for 10 minutes.
I've been awake for quite a while now. Quite a while. I stumbled upon Squidoo (quite literally) and for some reason have spent the past three hours experimenting with traffic-building. What've you found to work? In this instance: I created a lense on Squidoo with the URL best.record.ever.com--it's about Radiohead, I included Digg, Amazon, and Technorati, and submitted it in several places. Interested in the results? Drop me a line and I'll update you with the results.

News that "oddball sibling-led outfit" (and definitely one of C4's picks) Sparks has scheduled 20 shows. At each show, the duo is scheduled to play, in chronological order, an entire album from it's discography. Which, coincidentally, is comprised of exactly 20 records. I better see some user-created live footage of "The Rhythm Thief," or heads will roll.

In a phone interview last week, Bridwell said the more-holistic-than-thou response didn’t surprise him. He was wary from the start about the Wal-Mart deal, which at first was for a Web site (which no longer seems to be functioning) and later called for a TV commercial for the store.

Another tribute tracklist for this fine Thursday, although this one's already got a name -- and also happens to be infinitely less sad than the last. NME reports that the likes of Devendra Banhart, Bat For Lashes, Lavender Diamond, Ariel Pink, Giant Drag, and VietNam will tackle tunes from the material girl's catalogue for Through The Wilderness: A Tribute To Madonna, to benefit Madge's Raising Malawi charitable organization. Most of 'em seem promising, though we want vid reenactments. Devendra in pink strapless dress and gloves to match doing "Material Girl"? Hott. Track assignments after the jump.
