setlist from last night's show at the Vic in Chicago - along with some video clips - can be found here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=144122 I don't know if Fuse is doing their Live coverage from Lollapalooza this year or not but, if they are, Soundgarden closes out the festival Sunday night.

even a socialist like me has to applaud a local Tea Party group for this: the Warren Tea Party has submitted more than enough signatures (if validated, of course) to force a proposal onto this November's ballot that would create council districts there. Right now, almost half of Warren's residents live south of I-696 - but not one of the 9 city council members does. read more here: http://www.freep.com/article/20100806/NEWS04/8060384/1006/Proposals-aim-is-to-diversify-Warren-council well done, and I hope your work pays off, Warren Tea Party!

tonight's AF concert in NYC is going to be webcast on YouTube. Supposed to start at 10 PM EDT. :D

the world's most prestigious heavy metal music festival. there are some bigger, but nothing says you've arrived in metal circles like a slot on the Wacken Open Air lineup. not as strong a lineup as I would've expected for Year 20, though.

awesome news! :D gotta love the 80 findings of fact - taking up 53 pages of the 138-page decision - that the higher courts will have to give serious weight to.

OK - this article gives the (very) approximate peak times as follows: August 4: 3 AM August 4: 8 PM August 5: 2 AM ...so if you're outside at midnight, you're most likely too early. then again, maybe not - it's REALLY HARD to predict these things. http://io9.com/5603715/tonights-northern-lights-will-be-incredible-thanks-to-solar-explosions
