I hope the organisers will release stage times etc…or are they going to MCD it and charge us for the privelege?

Free Sheryl Crow Song if you register to vote…seriously!

I thought this was hilarious when I read it on NME…Sheryl Crow is offering people who register to vote in the US a free download of her song Gasoline…

Seriously is this going to encourage anyone to register to vote!!

Tom Dunne leaving TodayFM

Probably one of Ireland’s most influential, knowledgable and nicest DJ’s, Tom Dunne, is set to leave his Pet Sounds slot on Today FM to take up a morning slot (head to head with Ray D’Arcy) on Newstalk 106.

Its such a shame to see Dunne leave his Pet Sounds show. He has taken up the Dave Fanning mantle and championed new Irish music as well as bringing more obscure sounds to the masses.

What is somewhat interesting is that this week Newstalk moved into the Today FM building, they are sister stations. Should we expect to see some more moves?

Here’s a classic clip of Tom Dunne performing in his band Something Happens

DMB Sax player LeRoi Moore dies

Taken from Yahoo! News

LeRoi Moore, the versatile saxophonist whose signature staccato fused jazz and funk overtones onto the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band, died Tuesday of complications from injuries he suffered in an all-terrain vehicle accident, the band said. He was 46.   Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was admitted with complications that arose weeks after the June 30 wreck, according to a statement on the band’s Web site. It did not specify what led to his death, and nursing supervisor Galina Shinder said the hospital could not release details.

On June 30, Moore crashed his ATV on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va., but was discharged and returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical therapy. Complications forced him back to the hospital on July 17, the band said.

The band went on with its show Tuesday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where lead singer Dave Matthews dedicated the entire show to Moore.

“It’s always easier to leave than be left,” Matthews told the crowd, according to Ambrosia Healy, the band’s publicist. “We appreciate you all being here.”

Saxophonist Jeff Coffin, who played with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, had been sitting in for Moore during the band’s summer tour.
