Philadelphia, London, Berlin and other cities are hosting a ton of big name bands (did someone say Jamiroquai???) on July 2. Live 8 details here.

There really are some big names, including U2, REM, and Coldplay.

I can’t believe I did two shows over a 72 hour time period.

This is an extra special one, because I talk about the new donewaiting.com record label, Sunken Treasure Records.

// Frank from Chromewaves wrote up a nice and brief history of Velocity Girl that had a few of the bandmembers chime in with updates, too.

Also, voting for our podcast brings exposure to the show that we wouldn’t normally get. It will take a second of your time, and would mean the world to us.

PS: As a reminder, you do not need an ipod to listen to this. If you can play mp3s on your computer, you can listen to the show.

I’m waiting for it to be released properly before I listen to any of it, but man, these dudes at the Times are creating some amazing hype. I hope it’s half as good as what they say.

On June 7, the White Stripes return with a thrilling new album, “Get Behind Me Satan” (Third Man/V2/BMG), that goes a long way toward dismantling the band’s goofy mythology. It’s an album so strong and so unexpected that it may change the way people hear all its predecessors. And that’s just a start. Listen long enough, and this album might change the way you hear lots of other bands, too. (full review)

The fabulous return of the Donewaiting.com Disposable Radio Show!

Two people in the Cure are out of the band.

Finally, the broz in VHS or Beta can get their dream jobs.

But they’ll have better hair, of course.

In a deal with the city of Omaha and Bluestone Development, Saddle Creek has proposed a $10 million+ project to erect buildings in downtown Omaha, including a rock concert hall/bar called Slowdown (named after Slowdown Virginia, an early Saddle Creek band that featured Tim Kasher), a pizza shop, a theater run by a non-profit cinema showing indie/foreign films, and additional retail space and residential areas. The new space is set to be built in an envisioned “fun zone” in Omaha’s dilapidated north downtown area. (full story)

If that’s the case, listen to it here.

Everyone is loving the new Sleater Kinney. You can stream the whole thing here if you wanna. This album really reignited my love affair for this band, and it’s worth your time, for sure.

P.S.: Donewaiting.com Los Angeles writer Han is the #1 Sleater Kinney fan on the West Coast.

Pre-ordering a digital album is dumb.
