A while back I was contacted by Backyard Tire Fire's manager to help spread the word about their upcoming record release concert in Chicago this weekend. Unfortunately it slipped my mind until just now to post it on my blog (although in my defense I did contact all of my Chicago friends earlier in the week to spread the word). He also mentioned that they will be playing their hearts out to impress some radio people there so I'm guessing you are going to get your moneys worth ($15) and more. Tickets are still available so if you live near the windy city go get em! Here's a video for the title track "Good To Be"

I'm admittedly an OK Go noob so I've kind of been wondering what they sound like live. Well thanks to an update I just saw from their Facebook account I now know. That's right...get a free download for a live version of White Knuckles. The only catch is that you need to have a Twitter account. http://okgo.promojam.com/promotions/giveaway/authorization/new Oh and the answer to my question of how they sound live...really really good. Here's their live performance on last night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as further evidence. Also anyone in the Kansas City area should check out their free concert at the Midland this Saturday (they're big fans of the whole free concept apparently).

I accidentally attached the wrong file to Episode #59 so if you updated the podcast on Friday you may have gotten the wrong one. Here is how to re-update the podcast in Itunes (other podcast-catchers are probably similar).
That's what I get for posting it at 11:30 at night. Category:Other

In case you didn't know Jack White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page made a movie together last year. I haven't seen it yet but the Blu-Ray version is currently sitting at the top of my Netflix queue.
I love this quote from Jack White: "I plan to trick both of these guys into teaching me all of their tricks" Make sure to watch this trailer in 720p...amazing. Category:Other

The artists on this season of PBS' Austin City Limits are really blowing me away. Here are links to just a few of the amazing live performances they have featured on the ACL stage.

A friend recently introduced me to a great IPhone App for the website Daytrotter, which hosts exclusive versions and unreleased
tracks for an impressive list of artists. The interface on the site isn't quite as handy as the IPhone App but that is more than made up for by giving you the option to download all content in
MP3. The number of sessions is a little overwhelming (currently 772!) so here's a few to get you started.
