happy Earth Day! (from the Flaming Lips)

The Flaming Lips played a concert in Washington last Sunday, in honor of Earth Day.

I want to say that “Wayne Coyne demonstrated ‘green transportation’ via ‘ball-surfing on a crowd of people’,” but I just can’t make that joke.

What did you do for the planet today?

Did any other Earth Day related news occur in the indie-blogosphere?

Sidenote: Are MP3’s better for the planet then vinyl? (Sadly, yes).

Special Facts: Earth Day & 4:20 are in the same week. (How often could that happen?)

Unrelated: Carles made a Muxtape page, ugghhhh…

Live Nation & Ticketmaster might merge…

..and I thought it was bad enough when TicketMaster acquired TicketExchage.

Here’s the most recent update on the possible merger.

Can’t wait till The Big 4 Record Labels merge with Live Nation Ticketmaster + MySpace + Facebook + Madonna + Amazon + iTunes + All Music + + Miley Cyrus + YouTube + Napster + Best Buy + Future Shop + Jay-Z + Josh Schwartz + Rolling Stone

..and then Pitchfork Media decides to merge with The Bloggers + Insound + Radiohead + TMT + The Hype Machine +  Animal Collective + Muxtape + The Torrent Trackers + Sonic Youth + Archive.org + I ❤ Music

Or will Google and Apple and Facebook decide to team up with team indie?

And who will get Twitter & Wikipedia ???
