It’s time to break out the “it’s ALL good, brah” jokes because the original hippie jam fest, Walther Productions’ All Good Festival, kicks off this afternoon at Marvin’s Mountaintop in Masontown, WV. For those of us who can’t make it down to the site it’s ALL good, brah. We can still enjoy a webcast featuring many of the performances throughout the weekend over at iClips.net. Bring it on!
Let’s take a peak at what’s happening around the ‘nets:
- The Wall Street Journal provides a guide to summer festivals for yuppies
- New York’s Knitting Factory will be moving to Brooklyn late next year
- Eddie Vedder rewards a fan who kindly returned his girlfriend’s iPhone
- Cello-stud Ben Sollee rips Kanye West in a new song called Dear Kanye
- The Radiohead boys use fancy technology to make a camera-free video
- Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard prepare for their Green River reunion gig
- Kitsch Dork reviews Widespread Panic’s first Rochester gig in 11 years
- Rolling Stone asks Daltrey and Townshend what’s next for The Who
Finally, let’s end with a history lesson about Disco Demolition Day from our friends at WNEW. Back in 1979 the Chicago White Sox ran a promotion during which a popular DJ destroyed a box of disco records in between games of a planned doubleheader. The crowd rushed the field and hilarity ensued. Don’t forget to check out the video featured in the post for a glimpse of a young Greg Gumbel.
