My Morning Jacket: Live From Your Cell Phone

My Morning Jacket introduced a really cool way of making a video of their Lollapalooza performance today: a collage of fan videos from the performance (it would be even sweeter if MMJ went on tour again sometime soon, but for now this will have to do).

-check out official Bonnaroo video highlights

-SIRIUS' "Jam On" station will take a one week hiatus to preview the new Grateful Dead channel

-?uestlove sounds off after being denied D.J. honors at his high school reunion

-Ryan Adams will play more Fall dates

-Stewart Copeland will release his own Anthology

moe. & Robert Randolph Save Vegoose!


I must admit that I was a little disappointed with the original Vegoose 2007 lineup. It was a good lineup, I just didn't think that there was enough to make me really want to go (such as a Phil & Trey show).

With today's additions of moe. and Robert Randolph (among others) I officially REALLY want to go. Good job Superfly.

WeTube Wednesdays: 10klf & Everyone Orchestra Edition

For this week's WeTube Wednesday I really wanted to put together a bunch of 10,000 Lakes clips, but there just aren't a ton to choose from...

My personal favorite was this Umphrey's McGee "Plunger" clip



"40's Theme" also scores a close second



Part of Derek Trucks' "Key to the Highway"



I also stumbled across some quality clips of the Everyone Orchestra covering "You Enjoy Myself"

Part 1 (Part 2) (Part 3)



And what's going on...

-STS9 released a slew of Fall tour dates

-Jimmy Page will testify against an accused bootlegger in Scotland

-buy some cool Phish, String Cheese, and other memorabilia and support the Mimi Fishman Foundation

-who needs an old pair of Chuck Taylors when you can have Joey Ramones

-the dancing glowstick girl made it to see String Cheese at 10,000 Lakes

-and holy shit, I'm still not sure if this is real, but it is definitely hilarious, and only a minute: the trailer for Harvest Fest 2007 (the festival actually has a killer lineup if you're interested in the Trans-Cosmic Tribadelic Space Carnival thing and happen to be in Minnesota during early September)

Catching Up

Let's just say that a combination of a lost ATM card, traveling across the country, and a wretched little bubble called Palo Alto has prevented posts for almost a week. Here's what went on...

-a giant Phil & Friends fall tour was announced

-the initial Vegoose lineup was released - Umphrey's, Franti, and STS9, and then...well...I'll limit my comments to "I don't hate Superfly Productions any less today"

-Austin City Limits announced their official aftershows

-Page McConnell and Mike Gordon rocked the Simpsons Movie premiere

-Arcade Fire addes U.S. tour dates

-the real Guns 'n' Roses will reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction (without Axl)

Once you're done catching up check out these assorted links of fun...

-get your Trancegression Podcast from Umphrey's website (sweet!)

-video of Tea Leaf Green 4/22/06 @ CBGB's

-oh yea, and a robot that plays Guitar Hero
