In just a few short hours Mountain Jam kicks off what should be the first rain-free festival in the history of the event. (Jinx!) If you can’t make it up to Hunter Mountain you can still join in on the fun in one of three ways: Sirius will be simulcasting a performance each night, Rich Lieberman will be blogging live from the site and iClips will be broadcasting most of the sets starting at 12:45 this afternoon.
Let’s take another gander at the stories not big enough for a whole post, but you need to check out anyways since it’s Friday and you ain’t got shit to do:
- Live Nation and Facebook team up to offer concert tickets
- Bob Lefsetz saw a Kenny Chesney concert and had the time of his life
- The Zappa Family Gestapo releases a new FZ DVD featuring live footage
- Mission: Metallica’s platinum membership plan looks pretty good
- The folks at the Coventry Music Blog list the five worst Phish songs
- David Byrne will take home a lifetime achievement award at the Webbys
- The original lineup of Simple Minds reforms for the first time in 27 years
Before we leave you, we just wanted to make sure you saw our pal Mikey Greenhaus’ revealing interview with the My Morning Jacket boys for Jambands.
