For a few weeks I've been trying to think of the best way to share all the little tidbits of music news I find throughout the week. So I'mma try this, and see how it works: It's like the mp3 roundup, but different, because there's...well, no mp3s.
- The history of San Francisco's Beatles House. Combining two of my great loves: The Beatles and murals.
- Zoë Keating, Imogen Heap, Richard Branson, Ben Folds, Amanda Palmer, Josh Groban and more join forces for LIVE 4 Pakistan, a live fundraising event to benefit the victims of the 2010 flood in Pakistan. Hosted by Ze Frank, begins at 11 EST on August 31 (that's today, people!). Tune in here.
- New t-shirt designed by Andrew Bird for the Yellow Bird Project, based on his "run-in with a peacock outside of his barn, while on his way out for a bike ride." Proceeds will benefit Pegasus Special Riders, Inc. and it's a pretty goddamn awesome shirt.
- Jonathan Coulton, Wil Wheaton, John Hodgman and more are involved in JoCo Cruise Crazy, a cruise event departing from Ft. Lauderdale, FL on January 2, 2011 for which you can still buy tickets. I find this utterly weird and incredible.
- Tegan and Sara interview Hayley Williams from Paramore. Apparently they are bffs.
