  • Sharing Time – Austin City Limits Tickets, Coal Train, RAQ

    I’ve got a few random things today. Austin City Limits tickets went on sale today I believe.  They’re on sale for sure, I’m just not sure if it was today.  Also… I happen to know in advance some of the ACL Lineup for the September 2006 festival. But I can’t let you know yet, so…

  • Music Blogger March Madness Pool

  • Tuesday Links – Ryan Adams, GRAB, Johnny Cash

  • Links – CU Music Awards, Flickr Mashups, Gift Bags

    A few links for you: Go to http://www.cumusicawards.com/2006/ to vote for WPGU’s Best of Champaign Urbana Music Awards.  I HIGHLY recommend you vote for Elsinore whenever possible.

  • Dave Matthews Band Summer Tour 2006 Announced

    Let me start off by saying that Justin of LiveMusicBlog.com was the reason I went searching for this article.  Head to his site for most of your Live Music News, considering he does it best. Staying In Champaign-Urbana this summer will place me perfectly to attend one of both the Noblesville/G. Love shows and one…
