The weirdo Baltimore electronic artist/composer Dan Deacon is known to put on very unique live shows, in which he requires audience participation. Often times, he asks the crowd to form a human circle and selects lucky attendees to perform–just watch his SXSW 2012 NPR performance below.

Pi Lam Human BBQ

Each year the punk rock UPenn "fraternity", Pi Lam, host the annual Human BBQ. It's an all day rager, of sorts, featuring BBQ(vegan and non-vegan) and a ton of awesome local and non-local bands.

2006's "Heartbeats" still evokes vivid memories of my college partying days and will forever live in my iPod–now iPhone–as one of my most listened to tracks.

Gram Parsons has been dead since 1973, so we’re all 40 years late to the party of seeing Emmylou Harris sing with her ideal duet partner.

In 2013, Rodney Crowell will have to do. And Crowell, who sang with her at the Academy of Music on Tuesday night, and who has a new album with Harris called Old Yellow Moon - their first with equal billing though they’ve frequently worked together since the mid-70s – did just fine.

The Dolphin Tavern in South Philadelphia reopened their doors on March 20 after coming under new management last year. Sean Agnew from R5 Productions, Dave P from Making TIme, Psydde Delicious from Delicious Boutique and Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera from Four Corners Management partnered together to bring new life to the old bar with the same look but slightly different vibe.

Atoms For Peace
In case you missed it yesterday, the supergroup Atoms For Peace( Radiohead lead man Thom Yorke, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/R.E.M drummer Joey Waronker and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco) announced that they will head out on the road in support of their debut record, Amok. The album was released last month on XL Recordings and it largely feels like a Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich collaboration album that lacks Flea's signature bass lines. Despite that though, the album overall is a solid piece of work. It's just whenever people of their caliber are together, the expectations are through the roof.
There's no doubt that when the band plays live, Flea's bass will have more free range than it does on the record. Luckily for us Philadelphians, we'll get a chance to witness that live at Temple University's Liacouras Center on Tuesday, September 24. Tickets for the show go on sale this Saturday(03/23) and will be found HERE.
