Greetings fromm the music capitol of the world!
I'm taking a break from shows at the Fader Fort to check in and give an update. First and foremost: I met Lily Allen! She played last night at The Zune NME showcase at Stubb's.

As for today (Thursday): after a quick run along Waller Creek, it was off the Fader Fort for the blogger breakfast. The folks from Queens of the Stone Age (label and management) actually brought a copy of their new album, Era Vulgaris - even though it's not out until June. I ripped the album to my Zune, hooked it up to the PA, and we played the album on repeat from about 11am-1:45pm. And folks w/ Zunes in attendance each got sent a copy of "Sick, Sick, Sick" the single - to play three times in three days. Without 3days/3plays, the QOTSA people would have never allowed me to get such an advanced copy - so the song made its "debut" exclusively on Zune, exclusively via wireless sharing. Very cool.
Ok, gotta run - I'm missing Black Lips!
