You can watch and listen to the Live 8 concerts online from the AOL music website. I am currently waiting for Audioslave to come on stage in Berlin. [Link]

Update: Other shows to look out for, Pet Shop Boys in Moscow, Pink Floyd and Velvet Revolver in London and Placebo in Paris.

Update 2: WOW, Audioslave are playing acoustic version of Sound Gardens “Black Hole Sun”. I hope they play some Rage Against the Machine songs!!

Update 3: They just started playing a Rage Against the Machine song!!!!!!

I have this really cool song but I don’t know who its by or whats the name of the song, do you know it? [MP3 6.04MB]

Update: Thanks to Talal I now know the same of the song. “This song is called “Alpha Male”, and it comes from “The Understanding”, the 2nd album of an incredibly talented Norwegian electronica duo, Röyksopp“

Update 2: Just pre-ordered their new album from Amazon.

I have been listening to the online radiostation KCRW all morning and its great. BUT, some of the cool shows are on at times I am not near a computer or if I am I can’t listen to them loud. So, I wanted a software that would allow me to record radio streams as MP3 and then put them in iTunes for me so I could then throw them onto my iPod. After a bit of searching and asking around I found the software I needed, RadioLover. RadioLover is very easy to use, all you need to do to start recording a stream is to drag and drop the stream from iTunes into RadioLover. Then you just hit record OR you can schedule it to record at a certain time. Whats also cool about RadioLover is that it will automatically tag the songs with the artist, album, radio station and track number. Very practical and its just for $15. Now I will be able to record various cool radio streams and dump them into my iPod so I could listen to them in the car or at work. It only works on Mac’s though, sorry PC users. [Link]

Billy Corgan’s first solo album “TheFutureEmbrace” was released just yesterday yet Billy Corgan also released a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune saying that he wants Smashing Pumpkins to reunite! Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favorite bands ever, the line which I use for 2:48AM “Breathing underwater and living under glass” is actually from one of their songs. So having them reunite again would be one of the coolest things that could happen. [Link]

Paul Oakenfold – June 30th
UB40 – July 16th
Paul Van Dyk – July 23rd
Franz Ferdinand – July 28th (cancelled)

In a last minute decision, Roger, Dave, Richard, and Nick have put their differences aside and will re-form in support of Sir Bob’s Live8 concerts. Thats going to be one crazy concert! [Link]

I got the new Audioslave CD yesterday, so far it reminds me a lot of Unified Theory for some reason. Will give a full review in a couple of days time.

From BoingBoing ” This mash-up of Snoop Dogg’s Drop It Like It’s Hot with Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love is completely badazz — It actually had me up and dancing; those nasty guitars crossed with Snoop’s nasty lyrics, wow!” 3MB MP3 Link
