The cool thing with websites like ACheapSeat.com is that no matter where you live they have shows in your area.

If that’s to far out for you then you can search Concert Tickets and more with their easy to use website and tickets search features.

Green Day tickets are available and if I could make it to the concert I would probably buy the tickets right now. They have a performance at Hallenstadion in Zurich Switzerland which will probably be an experience to see and I would enjoy. I dig huge music festivals and tickets for concerts are easy to be had for many of these events.

I’m not really a huge Green Day fan although I appreciate their music and I have been a fan since the early days of Dookie and Brain Stew. I would however very much like to see them live in concert. I just think they would be a great band to see live and most likely a much better show than say Bon Jovi. I mean I dig the 80’s as much as anyone but I think Green Day would rock your ass and Bon Jovi tickets are probably being sold to older people who may enjoy a show but there won’t be the same energy as a Green Day concert I bet.

The tshirt is without doubt the most important piece of clothing in history. You may think that pants are more important but when you look around the world and realize that everyone now owns a t-shirt with some sort of type on it you understand it rules over all other clothing as the most personlized article we all commonly wear. Today’s t-shirts are more like personal billboards or fashion statements then they are practical pieces of protective clothing and many people wear nothing but t-shirts to promote something, someone or some idea.

T-shirts are everywhere and worn by everyone from children to senior citizens and everyone in between and the messages you find on t-shirts are as diverse as the world of people that wear them. From political statements or slogans to your favorite band or the latest product advertising campaigns you will see newly designed t-shirts with some message imprinted on them just about every day. Custom t-shirts and t-shirt printing is a huge industry and you can buy a t-shirt on the web today and be wearing it the very next day with some relevant slogan or image. Most often each of us has a favorite t-shirt that just fits with us and our lifestyle perfectly and many of us wear them a bit to often as we seek the identity that the shirt offers us.

T-shirts and music share a special relationship and just about anyone who has ever been into music or seen a live concert has a t-shirt that means something to them. Band tees and concert t-shirts have been a part of the music scene for decades and being a fan of music means you’ll most likely some day own a piece of band history to wear at some point in your life. What’s you favorite rock band or album? Do you own the t-shirt? If you don’t then odds are you already have or you will someday break down and buy yourself a t-shirt which is destined to become your favorite.

MoshiPitt.com is the place for punk rock t shirts, concerts tees, bands t-shirt, music t shirts and the very best in punk rock clothing. They offer 1000’s of personalized t-shirts from the most popular to the most obscure band or genre of music from country and western to pop and even punk or goth t-shirts in all sizes and colors for you to chose from.

You know you love t-shirts just as much as the rest of us and who amongst us can refuse the perfect t-shirt when for less than $20 you can announce to the world your love for rock and roll or punk music? T-shirts transcend fashion and they will never go out of style. T-shirts are universal and what may be cool in one part of the world is without doubt cool in some other far away place. Ever travel outside the US and pay attention to what people wear? It’s t-shirts!! When I travel I often take along nothing but my personalized t-shirts because with one t-shirt people can often tell so much about who you are. Can you think of a better way to introduce yourself to the world at large then a personalized t-shirt?

My Zune is a great music player and I really enjoy listening to my favorite musicians pretty much wherever I go. It’s been fun taking my entire music collection with me and having the ability to play whatever song or album I want to at any time that I want to.

Having instant access to your personalized music collection is great but I do get the sense I am further away from the music at times. I think we should listen to as much live music as possible and everyone should see more concerts and music festivals. Most cities in America have some forms of live music venues if not a concert hall for hosting major acts like rock bands and such.

Live music comes in many forms and you can listen to a favorite band at your local bar or with 10,000 other fans at stadium concerts for top artists. Both shows are unique and offer music lovers something different. I prefer big concerts or shows with large crowds of people. I think the crowds add to the energy and excitement of a live event and there is nothing more fun than enjoying your favorite band with a few thousand friends and fans.

Finding a good show is as easy as your local paper or you can buy Concert Tickets online if you are unable to find a good show nearby. Some of usmay have to travel some for a good show but road trips to major venues and sporting events can add to the fun a group of friends will have enjoying their favorite activity together.

Websites like PreferedSeat.com offer reasonable prices and choice seats for all the best concerts in America. They offer great seats to everything from Metallica to Madonna and you can even search for concert tickets by state with their easy to use \website.

Put down your zune or portable music player and go watch a concert this week. You’ll enjoy it and your Zune will still be there when the show is over.

So as many of you know I have had a 20 plus year love affair with Madonna. It started from the first time I saw the Like A Virgin video and its been consistent like her career ever since. I have never had the pleasure to see her in concert as I have never been able to score Madonna Tickets but should the chance ever happen I am hoping to catch her one day soon.

The woman has been able to remain on top of an industry full of new faces and styles. No other performer has been able to reinvent themselves as many times as she has and it seems she’s been able to stay on the cutting edge of style and music for decades now. More impressive has been the trend setting she has done and there is no doubt her influence on music and popular culture since the mid 80’s up until today.

If I had the money for Madonna Tickets I would go just to see what kind of crowd she still pulls but I think it would have been better to have caught her at her peak in the 90’s. Her most recent shows have become politicized and although I agree with her position I disagree with using an entertainment venue to spew your views on the world if it’s not a part of the music you sing normally.

Let the music play and go see a Madonna Concert when you get the chance.

I have been attending more live performances and not listening to as much music on my Zune in the past few months. I much prefer live music and listening to a band perform than I do to listen to the same garbage over and over again.

I have tried lots of new music using my Zune pass and its been much fun trying out so many new artists with the playlists features but there is nothing like a live concert if you can get good Concert Tickets. As new as it may be much of the new music out there today sounds like the same junk respun by talentless actors who play musicians on television or something but they can’t really sing. Music today has become more about style and less about substance and it feels very empty to me.

The hottest Hip hop artist on the planet sounds prepackaged in some way. He thinks he’s Nino Brown, he talks smack like Doo Doo Brown and he looks more like Charlie Brown but he’s making big money as the most popular hip hop star in the world.

Lil Wayne sounds hard as nails but I have my doubts about how tough a life he lives and how hard he actually is. Whatever the truth is he sells Concert Tickets and CD’s by the truckload and the guy is literally making a Milli, a Milli, a Milli, a Million dollars a day talking crap he does not seem able to back up.

Thankfully you can still find some good deals on better shows so find Concert Tickets for whatever music you like and put down your mp3 player and see a live performance.

Mavado is known across the world for his hard hitting lyrics and Gangsta for Life attitude and his performance was no disappointment to his fans in Montego Bay on Thursday evening for Dancehall night at Reggae Sumfest 2008. Mavado and his mentor Bounty Killer have been touring the country relentless and his stage show is solid and well rehearsed. Mavado had a great performance at SumFest. He puts on a great show and if you ever get the chance to see him perform live in Jamaica its a must do experience.

Ninjaman is a notorious hardcore Jamaican musician with roots in Dancehall but from the harder side of the dance floor. Ninjaman is well known for his gun loving lyrics and nasty on stage performances. Reggae Sumfest 2008 was no different. The Ninja was not so silent and neither were his fans as he dazzled the crowd with his act performance.

Ninjaman is a local favorite and his show was high energy and powerful. It’s always nice when the crowd knows an artists music and that was certainly the case on Thursday night at SumFest. The crowd seemed to know every word to every song as he belted out some fan favorites.

If you ever get thew chance to see ninjaman in concert then I suggest you do so. If not then download some Ninjaman mp3 files from Amazon and play Ninjaman on your Zune

I made it through the first night of Reggae SumFest and I had a great time. I did not make it to the final act of the evening and I missed “The Doctor” and Jamaica’s reigning “King of Dancehall” Beenie Man on stage. I woke up at 5am and watched the sun rise on Thursday morning and was not able to squeeze in a nap during the day so when the sun started to pop up again this morning I thought I was hallucinating at the pretty light show and remembered the hour long drive home ahead of me. I called it quits and drove home early for some short sleep and now I’m up again with little hope for any sleep again before the show tonight. I may end up missing some part of tonights show as I expect I’ll take a nap during the day at some point. My van is parked within easy access and a sleep break is easy with the press pass. I can walk in and out as I wish with the armband I’m wearing and not even the cops say much to me. I did notice like 100 police dogs all over and when I tried to snap a shot of one the guy made me put my camera down. It was a beautiful all black German Shepard with perfect form. I just wanted a pic of the dog but he would not have it. I don’t question Jamaican police I just go with the flow.

I was out gunned for interviews and the little bit of video I did get is probably crap because my camera with built in mic could not compete with all the noise in the room. Many of the people running interviews had much nicer cameras with attached microphones which made the interviews possible. I was stuck alone with my handheld video camera and no tripods allowed because of space constraints and tripping hazards. It was sad really but I had my digital camera and I got some good still photos. I spent much of the night networking and the show turned into a huge opportunity I think with a number of Jamaican artists expressing interest in working together with me on some online music projects. I’ve found so many musicians with a MySpace page and not their own website. I show them how powerful and easy something like Wordpress is and they can manage it from there. Having your own website allows you to generate your own income, builds a better brand with your music and gives you greater creative control. Anyway lets hope I can get a short nap and move on today. If not tonights coverage may be even weaker.

I had my Zune and WiFi on but I never caught a signal anywhere. not very surprised at the fact there are no Zunes in Jamaica but I was hoping for someone from the media or maybe an artist or band member to have something with them. No Zuners at SumFest except MAX and me.
