The NBA lost a lot of money earlier this year due to the lockout. I think they may be able to recoup a lot of that media revenue if they hire Will Ferrell full time to announce each NBA game. Hell, give him the commissioners job, Ferrell is unstoppable. Not to mention hilarious.

What's that smell in the air? Glowing, bleached-white beaches, crisp blue water, and some of the most beautiful people the world has to offer? In a word: Miami. The "S Man" himself, along with star-studded label Stealth Records, are for the first time bringing Stealth Miami to the week of WMC on Wednesday, March 21. It's slated to be more than just a party - but a bona fide experience - and, with a lineup sure to please, this is going to be one of very few signature day parties of Miami Music [...]

In 2011, at the iconic Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, The Chemical Brothers [...]

Now, three years later, Coverville Citizenship is still going strong, and hundreds of listeners have completed their virtual passport and become citizens of the fictional town known as Coverville. Haven't joined yet, and wondering what all the hubbub is about? Here's what you get as a [...]

We also post a grip of other music related links up there so it's a good place to check if it's looking slow over on this side. Hopefully someday in the future we can have a live stream incorporated into the site, but until I can figure out how [...]
