Paper Diamond @ Bottom Lounge, Chicago 1/27/12 | © Vladimir Zaytsev
In what some are calling it the best time in a long time for self-made DJs and producers, it’s just too easy now to stand behind a laptop and let the music bring energy to a sold out crowd. Alex Botwin, AKA Paper Diamond proved that playing electronic music can and should be much more than pressing buttons on a laptop in his recent trip through Chicago. READ MORE

Earlier today I happened upon a half finished web page for something called Spring Awakening Music Festival. This supposed festival is slated to hit Soldier Field June 16th and 17th in Chicago. The half finished web page wasn’t up for long, so I wasn’t able to lurk the page for long, but on the page was Dada Life, Laidback Luke, Afrojack, text that read “Skrillex to headline”… and a scrolling banner that showed none other than the duo known as Daft Punk. Some of us can dream, right?
The website claimed tickets would be $90 for the two day pass, and $180 for a VIP two day pass. Check out the screenshots I got: READ MORE

Disco Biscuits @ Bank of America Pavilion, Boston 9/11/10
Get planning on your NYE folks!
The rumors already started hitting my texts last night with thoughts that Phish may be at MSG for a two-night NYE run with potentially a few other dates ahead of that, but not everyone’s going to be in NYC or wanting to travel around those dates. Or maybe they’ll have some pre-NYE competition (duh) with the likes of some other pioneers of a side of this scene known as Disco Biscuits, who were smart and got their NYE show announced early. >>>
Andrei Molchanov was able to hit a few after-parties following each day of Lollapalooza earlier this month, and he shot the 12th Planet and 16 Bit show for the site. Read on for his full gallery from the show. >>>
Read part one (Gorge > Hollywood Bowl) and part two (Lake Tahoe > Outside Lands) first before diving into our final recap/review from Phish summer tour.
Next week about this time Phish will be deep into their second set on the final night of three-night run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Colorado, and that’s a good sign that it’s time to reflect on the awesome Leg II run that us lucky (!) West Coast fans were able to partake in this summer. I loved how most of 2010 the standard Phish bashing featured complaints about the selection of venues and dates the band had announced; maybe the band was paying just enough attention to feed us West Coasters a solid set of dates in 2011 as a response. >>>
In case you missed it late yesterday, a bunch of New Year’s Eve announcements hit the internets that I think you’d all be quite psyched about. First up, the gang in Surprise Me Mr. Davis collectively announced a two-night run at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco featuring sets from SMMD, The Slip, Nathan Moore and Big Light over the two nights. I’ve seen this show before and I’d love to see it again, especially on a New Year’s Eve that’s spent walking distance from my place. Pretty soon after that we got an announcement that Pretty Lights will be doing NYE in Chicago at the Congress Theater with Major Lazer on 12/30 and Holy Fuck on 12/31.
Read on for the announcements from the bands. Anyone making solid plans yet? READ MORE
