In a surprise (or not so surprise?) announcement last week, both the New York and Los Angeles Fat Beats stores (a brief history) will be closing their doors forever in September. The record shops will celebrate their final week with a full schedule of free in-stores from 4-9pm, including this Saturday, the final day in [...]

San Francisco’s Treasure Island Music Festival goes down the weekend of October 16 and 17 on the actual Treasure Island, which is located just next to the Bay Bridge with a view of the Golden Gate in the distance.

If there’s one good thing that comes out of me not splurging on Coachella tickets, it’s not having to choose between the last 20 minutes of MGMT’s set and Major Lazer. Anyway, the complete Coachella 2010 Set Time Schedule is up on the official site. For those of you who hesitated, LAT announced yesterday that [...]

That’s right, bitches. AFP (Amanda F*cking Palmer) announced in a blog entry titled, “FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST,” that she has split from Roadrunner Records after a 2 year battle with the label. To commemorate the occasion, she is offering up a new song “legally and free of charge.” now that i’m unshackled, i [...]
