Someone should probably tell the Phoenix tour manager that he’s not running a tour for the Rolling Stones and should maybe stop acting like a dick.

We chose Pitchfork over Lollapalooza this year, but luckily our blogging friends are keeping us updated with reviews.

Read Chromewaves day one and day two coverage. Also check out his Flickr photos (that Sleater Kinney photo to the left is from him, too).

Chicagoist has a lot of photos, too. Over 700 and counting!

Dodge is liveblogging the event at My Old Kentucky Blog.

Finally, Jim DeRogitas calls Lollapalooza the “Wal-Mart of pop music festivals,” with a good look at the entire fest.

Reported on the BBC:

Arthur Lee, singer and guitarist of the influential 1960s band Love, has died in Memphis at the age of 61 following a battle with acute myeloid leukaemia.

A Memphis native who called himself the “first so-called black hippie”, Lee formed Love in Los Angeles in 1965.

While Rhapsody and other online services are chomping for a piece of the pie, eMusic quietly has become the #2 online mp3 seller, behind the iTunes music store. Not dealing with major labels is one of the reasons why. USA Today wrote a story abou thtem.

Like Napster and Rhapsody, eMusic is a subscription service. Unlike those of its competitors, eMusic customers fully own the songs after downloading, with no restrictions. How does it do that? EMusic’s songs are unprotected MP3s, which means they play on any device. Rivals sell copy-protected songs aimed at preventing unauthorized trading on file-sharing networks.

EMusic’s supplying labels don’t worry about such trading because eMusic users tend to be older, sophisticated music fans who are less likely to engage in online song-swapping.

eMusic has been great for Sunken Treasure, the donewaiting.com record label. Our bands are on it: Miranda Sound’s Western Reserve | The Celebrity Pilot’s Beneath the Pavement, A Beach!
