When we're not making sweet sweet MIDI tracks on our C64, we're online looking at websites:
- Stereogum talks about the Sea And Cake's Sam Prekop's forthcoming synth solo album Old Punch Card.
- Download the single "Harlem River Blues" from Justin Townes Earle's forthcoming new album (of the same name) on Bloodshot Records.

- Seeing all the cool kids at music festivals makes one Lollpalooza-goer want to have kids, so he can bring his cool kids to music festivals.
- Did you catch Rhymefest on WTTW's Chicago Tonight? In 2007 he was the first rapper to appear on the program. Love the handslap from Phil Ponce!
- The Green Day superfan who was selected to sing onstage with the band last week was Dan Michie from Palatine. His band, Patmos, gets a nod in the interview piece MTV did this week.
- It's not just about radius clauses, it's about supply and demand. The A.V. Club writes about how those small neighborhood festivals are hurting local venues. But they are a good bet if you want to see Elevation play.
- WFMU discovers early Ken Nordine recordings from 1957!
- WBEZ's "Hit It Or Quit It" podcast is now available on iTunes!
- Today's Friday Office Mixtape from Schubas' staff features the auditory musings of Production Manager Paul Massaro (DJ PJMASS).
- Listen to The Game rapping over Sufjan Stevens covering the Castanets' "You Are the Blood" on the free Brake Lights mixtape (via).
