Let's spare ourselves too much talk of bands that have been around the block for a decade or more, and take a look at some bands we may still be talking about ten years from now. Some you may have heard, some you may have heard of, and some this weekend may provide the perfect opportunity to discover for the first time. Basically, if we had to come up with a list of two acts every day that you absolutely must check out, especially those that are still mired in those not-standing-room-only (and potentially right up-close) daytime slots, this could be the list.

Floratone Floratone (Blue Note) The band is called Floratone, but given the fact that Bill Frisell is the guitarist, it's sort of impossible to leave that out of the title of this week's NRT. Frisell's history in the guitar world is long and impressive, and this collaboration with drummer Matt Chamberlain (a notable musician in his own right, having performed with everyone from Pearl Jam to Neil Finn) is another beautiful addition to his...

Our market is bringing world markets down with us. . . all because of the subprime mortgage market. Universal Music joins the move away from the use of DRM (except through iTunes). Preview of the nation without net neutrality: AT&T censors Pearl Jam's Lollapalooza performance online. Parisians provided with 10,000 self-service bikes: Citizens bike downhill to work and take mass transit home. The Perseid Meteor shower may be visible late this weekend. Hannah Montana's...

After a month of guesswork, the ACL Fest lineup is here. And it's quite a good one. While the wild speculation of headliners like Neil Young and Stevie Wonder once again proved false, the key items one sees this year are depth and balance. Having spent yesterday looking over the roster, we have the following observations on the 2007 edition of ACL. The Good: A Great Top 10. Had you told us that we'd...

Three weeks after serving the president the most satisfyingly brazen smack-down ever to grace C-SPAN (not that that's saying a lot), Stephen Colbert has some big-time bragging rights: an audio version of his skewering of George W. hit number one on iTunes.

You may have heard that a certain filmmaker is in town for his own personal film fest. Well, he's also making national news, as Quentin Tarantino has reportedly agreed to come on board to direct the new biopic chronicling the life and times of Jimi Hendrix. The film, which has been stalled in development deals for what seems to be ages, has the approval of Hendrix's brother Leon and Jimi's estate. In ACL News...

The first leg of his summer tour will feature opening act Trey Anastasio and will be followed by a run of six shows that includes Pearl Jam as part of a double-bill. The second leg of the tour will feature the Allman Brothers band and the Dereck Trucks Band. The opening act for the...

Torontoist throws down the gauntlet and challenges all comers: pillow fight, bitch. They also stand up for a fellow blogger taking heat from the TTC and welcome city-wide WiFi. SFist can finally admit it: It's possible that Bary Bonds juiced. Is Bay Area artist (tempted to put quotes around that) Thomas Kinkaid "kinda crappy" or "explosively crappy" or does he just like marking territory? SFist wonders. Technology comes in the form of new Mac goodness...
