Tom Waits to scalp own tickets for charity

TOM WAITS is auctioning off 5 pair of premium tickets to shows in Phoenix, Houston, Columbus, and Atlanta on his “Glitter and Doom” tour to benefit various charities beginning Wednesday, June 11 at 10am pacific at ticketmaster.com. The auction for the Phoenix show will end Friday, June 13 at noon pacific, while the other three auctions will end Thursday, June 19 at noon pacific.

“Some folks prefer to pay more, you get a good seat, a good tax write off and a good feeling for helping for your needy neighbors,” says Waits. “It’s scalping for charity.”

While each of these 4 shows have been sold out, Waits held back these choice seats in order to donate the proceeds generated from these auctions to assist the following worthy causes:

Prom Night

The second annual Disco Expressions Prom Night at the Continenal Club was a huge success.

Sam and crew from Wear It Again Sam had setup shop in front of the club so that patrons could purchase vinatage 70’s style clothing since the show was billed as “Prom Attire Required.”

A lot of people showed up in costume and many more availed themselves of the makeshift clothing store out front. Everybody (with the exception of a handful of obnoxious party-goers hogging the front of the stage and being generally unpleasant) seemed to be in the spirit of things and were genuinly friendly and festive and had no problem getting into the spirit of things.

Pork and Beans by Weezer, A Mashup of Internet Memes

This is not the first time Weezer demonstrated their tech savvy nature. In 1995 their video for Buddy Holly was included on the Window 95 CD and featured some pretty state of the art video effects that made it appear they were playing in Arnold’s Diner of Happy Days fame.

This has everything to do with why we use the song Buddy Holly performed by Moog Cookbook as the theme song for Technology Bytes…

The Get Out Clause, Manchester stars of CCTV

Unable to afford a proper camera crew and equipment, The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets. They set up their equipment, drum kit and all, in eighty locations around Manchester ““ including on a bus ““ and proceeded to play to the cameras. Afterwards they wrote to the companies or organisations involved and asked for the footage under the Freedom of Information Act.
