Was checking out the BJC site curious to see what concerts are coming up and checked out their rumors page. This is what they have posted there:

Due to the excitement of the recent football weekend, many Dave Matthews Band tickets are still available.

Yea, thats why no one bought tickets. The football game.

Sunday morning music recommendation. Check out Panic! At the Disco. I’m terrible at describing bands. I’m filing this one in the fun pop-punk section, some techno beats (think hellogoodbye). AbsolutePunk lists similar artists at Fall Out Boy, The Acadamy Is, The Stereo, and Head Automatica. They also enjoy long song titles, such as “Lying Is The Most Fun You Can Have With A Girl Without Taking Her Clothes Off.” They are on the Nintendo Revolution tour (you know, the one with Fall Out Boy, Starting Line, and Motion City Soundtrack). They are on Fueled by Ramen, which I now officially like better than Drive-Thru. Look at this list of bands that have been on the label: Fall Out Boy, Less Than Jake, Punchline, The Acadamy Is …, Gym Class Heros, and Paramore.

Purevolume – 3 Songs (2 Downloads!)

Trying something, so let me know if its a keeper. Each week I will post my Top 10 Music Chart. My problem is that iTunes (or J. River) don’t support anyway of doing most listened to in the past week. So to start I’m going to do my most listened to songs overall that I have played in the past 7 days. Here is the first week’s list:

1. Straylight Run – Existentialism on Prom Night
2. MxPx – Silver Screen
3. Midtown – Empty Like the Ocean
4. Fall Out Boy – Chicago is So Two Years Ago
5. AM Radio – Stole the Show
6. August Premier – Fall
7. Autopilot Off – Chromatic Fades
8. Better Than Ezra – Sincerely Me
9. Blink 182 – Emo
10. Blink 182 – Time To Break Up

I already knew Thursday would be a big day for Sirius with the introduction of the new G3 radios. Now it seems they will be lineup will be unveiled. There are all sorts of rumors about what is coming, my hope that is likely to come true is a 90s channel and unlikely hope is a real punk channel.

Sirius has started sending out a weekly newsletter highlighing cool things coming up in the next week on the music channels. They have lots of stuff each week in all sorts of genres. This week the best one is Hootie and the Blowfish in studio. Below is the info from the Sirius web site promoting the event. It doesn’t say in that but it will be on The Pulse (Channel 9).

Hootie and the Blowfish Return
Wed 8/17 5:00 pm ET
This summer, Hootie and the Blowfish, the band with one of the top-selling albums of all time is back, and the guys stopped by SIRIUS to talk and treat us to an in-studio set of old and new songs. It’s been 10 years since their smash debut CD, Cracked Rear View, which has sold over 10 million copies so far. August 9th is the release date of their 5th studio CD, Looking for Lucky, which has already given us the hit single, “One Love.”

Rebroadcast: Saturday, August 20th @ 11 am ET & Sunday, August 21st @ 11 pm ET.

I noticed that I hadn’t posted an updated Top Hits list from my MP3 player since July. Most of the stuff at the top didn’t move around too much. Check it out here.
