Man we were light on posting last week. I’ve been totally out of loop since moving into a new apartment, but now that I’m settled in and mostly unpacked I’ll have some more time to devote to this here website. Sorry for the lack of updates from my side. I always apologize, I know — and that really doesn’t do much, I know — but just understand that I have really been trying hard to keep up as the site is still something I very much love to do and I love that people still come hang out with us online.
Here’s a bunch of other stuff that was going on while we weren’t posting too many articles.
- Marco Benevento is being joined by Reed Mathis and Jon Fishman (!) for four dates in the Northeast in early November. That, my friends, is insane. Someone remind me to download those shows. [Hidden Track]
- Ryan posted the latest Live Music Podcast, an Arcade Fire set from Vegoose 2005. [The Live Music Podcast]
- Built to Spill covered “Paper Planes” live in Italy and it sounds really amazing. Anyone know where to find a full version? [Stereogum]
- LL Cool J just played House of Blues in Chicago and liveDaily was there to take photos. I wonder if it was any good. [liveDaily]
- Ticketmaster just bought a talent agency. I thought that was the only thing they did not have power over already, the talent side of the equation. [liveDaily]
More good stuff to come, folks. I missed you guys.
Vegoose 2006 will be getting the AT&T Blueroom Webcast treatment, much the same as their webcast of Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, etc.

Tonight’s show will feature Trey live from Vegoose! Tune into 91.7fm WSUW (Whitewater, WI) or www.wsuw.org and click on “Listen Now”. Take a listen, you may enjoy what you’re listening to!
I’m psyched to be listening to this right now without actually having to download it. It’s actually a pretty good Trey set. He’s pretty talkative and charming during the acoustic set. I’m getting ready to eat some pizza, drink some more beer and watch some episodes of the first season of Lost. But, in the meantime, it’s Trey time. Enjoy.
Update: Ok, I might have spoken too soon. I’m just not sure. I don’t feel the same way about it, and that’s not to say that I can’t enjoy it. I just don’t know…
Reports are flooding in from all over the Internets like Lake Pontchartrain waters (too soon?), and there’s an overwhleming consensus here: Despite the ridiculous amount of money most people appear to have spent on this weekend, Vegoose was a smashing success.
I received a three-word text message shortly after midnight on the East Coast last night that read “Trey with Panic.” At first I thought that should sufficiently piss off most of the South. But then I said to myself, “Man, this type of crossover must have been happening all weekend long…this musta been one helluva sick festival.” And it’s looking like that suspicion is dead-on-balls accurate.
Reports from the Sin City frontline are coming in very slowly, but if you missed any of Justin’s live blogging and constant posting this weekend, here’s a chance to catch up on what you missed from the festival of the year in Vegas:
