Saviours Of Jazz Ballet
I saw Citizen Cope last night. My review is over on Dcist.
Ex-RIAA agency "can't find" artists it owes money to, like Public Enemy. Remember this whenever the RIAA and their ilk play the "we're doing it for the artists" card. Wankers.
New Trail of Dead. Let's hope it's better than the last one.
Brett Ratner...still a giant douche.
In other news, I sincerely hope comment and trackback spammers burn for eternity in hell.
Tonight: A special appaearance and performance by Mew at the XM Studios here in D.C. Hott.
Tomorrow: V Fest (minus DJ Tiesto, who cancelled, which is OK because I'll be seeing my first ever Flaming Lips performance anyways and they were scheduled to play at the same time. Maybe I'll try and be part of the stage show, but probably not because there's no way it will top the time I got to dress up as a Green Gorilla and go onstage with the Super Furry Animals at the Leeds Festival.)
I don't know why Boing Boing worries itself with SoundExchange (other than because von Lohmann of the EFF emailed them with the news, and it's the ultimate in playing to the geek vote). Yeah, it sounds crazy that they can't find some artists. The odds are pretty close to zero that SoundExchange hires a cadre of expensive private investigators to hunt down each and every name. Those artists (and estates of deceased artists) need to get with it and register with SoundExchange so they get paid. It's not difficult.
I find it interesting that Kurt Vonnegut is on the EMI list.
