Aerosmith, Festivals, Gov't Mule, Grateful Dead, Intermezzo, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, Widespread Panic
A report in Monday’s New York Post cited Liv Tyler as the source of a rumor that her father Steven will be leaving Aerosmith due to the way the band’s been treating him. Possible options? Tyler can always start a new band with Jimi, Janis, Keith Moon and…oh, wait, he’s not dead yet? Shit, sorry. Regardless, it’s the wrong play for Tyler — if he leaves the band, Aerosmith can just throw former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan or Carly Simon on stage and go from there.
Let’s go from here with a look at some interesting mid-week links:
- Pitchfork has pictures from this past weekend’s Sasquatch Festival
- The inside story of Widespread Panic’s new album
- Glide Magazine’s Lara Purvis talks to Daniel Johnston

Here’s another one — CBS bought Last.fm today for $280 million. Hey, anyone wanna start a social networking site of any kind? Bueller?

Thanks for those pictures of Panic….’s mics. And instruments. (Actually, that is a cool link. I wish I cared about Ampeg R2D2s and Neumann C3POs and all that because I’d probably have enjoyed the read that much more. Oh well. At least there’s a shot of Schools in there where his torso takes up 7/8 of the frame. That man’s girth is truly astounding. Hey Dave…you know that Jenny Craig makes a meat loaf that’s just as tasty as the real thing, right?)

There was also a good piece on Jeff Buckley on NPR’s All Things Considered yesterday.

Thanks, Shag…and they even have his AWESOME version of Hallelujah that Aaron Sorkin featured in the West Wing in the unbelievable season three finale (Posse Comitatus).
