We and love and it. Oh my gosh. This CD is amazing. Perfect for the time of season as well, it makes you want to get all cozy!

The Avett Brothers have such an original sound, and the lyrics on this album are ridic. Go check it out immediately! Go!! NOW!
RIP DJ A.M.
DJ AM was found dead today at his New York apartment, according to PerezHilton.com. Reports are suggesting that he died of an apparent drug overdose – prescription pill bottles and a crack pipe were found in the apt. Friends had been trying to reach him and knocking on his door for days before the police broke down the door to find his body. So sad.
Let us leave you with a tune – his last post on Twitter – his last communication to the public: Grandmaster Flash “New York, New York” (pay attention to the lyrics)

The coroner is currently at his 210 Lafayette St Apt.
UPDATE 9:12 PM EST: According to TMZ DJ AM had been “completely devastated” by a breakup with his girlfriend Hayley Wood. They reportedly split last week and she was the one to break things off.
It’s also being reported that the legendary DJ was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome from the plane crash last year.

If you remember, it was almost one year ago, when Adam and Travis Barker survived that S. Carolina plane crash
Lollapalooza kicks of with a Downpour
Today was day one of the annual Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, and it started off with some massive rain. Can anybody say mudslide?!
Some of the big acts today were Ben Folds, The Decemberists, Kings of Leon, Bon Iver (AMAZING), KiD CuDi, Thievery Corporation, and Depeche Mode. That’s a pretty strong first day!
The rest of the weekend is looking pretty strong as well, with sunny weather in the forecast. On Saturday you are looking at some great energetic shows like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Animal Collective, and Bassnectar (one of the best live shows you will ever see). Bassnectar plays Saturday night from 8:30 to 10:00 – that will be a night to remember!
Sunday will be pretty epic with Janes Addiction, Ra Ra Riot, Snoop Dogg, and the Killers.
We can’t wait to hear how the festival goes from all you lollapaloozas out there. If you weren’t able to make it, watch the live Lollapalooza podcast here: http://tinyurl.com/mnljeq.
The Must-Have Soundtrack: 500 Days of Summer
All of these songs evoke so much emotion, and come from very different genres of music. From Regina Spektor and Feist to Simon & Garfunkel and Wolfmother . . . this soundtrack rocks. Go spend that $13.99 you would waste at the bar and bless your ears.
