miike, an unlikely combination, and a seven hour shift it a plastic chair playing tetris.

So depending on if anyone actually cares or not today Live Nation and Ticketmaster were finally given permission to unite and combine forces.
Even though there is supposedly a ton of regulations and there are safeguards in place this still seems ridiculous to me. There are no other ticket sellers out there. and both of these two monsters have been leading us into a false sense of security with some of their deals in the last year but surely those are going to be gone now that they control the market. Ridiculous.

The live music industry was the biggest moneymaker for artists and now its going to be controled by LiveNation...whom i despise for the simple fact that they themselves own a ticket reselling company. (i.e. ticketmaster sells out--> lets redirect you to our brokerage web sites that suprisingly has tickets for sale to the event that went on sale ten minutes ago and sold out 3 minutes ago. Looks like some buyers must have changed there plans so very quickly!

bologna. here and there making a few bucks on a ticket you yourself would go to is one thing. this is a whole other something.



to get your mind off of that check out some of that bono, edge, hova, rihanna video from the haiti benefit concert. pretty awesome so i must say. (although justin timberlake doing hte hallelujah song was pretty great too....)










and to check out somethign a little unique im into right now check out this miike snow page with some stuff on it. Hes playing the middle east in a month or two and i think id like to go. I especially like his crookers remix but his other stuff is great too.
