Gnarls Barkley Play the Internet, in Person Gnarls Barkley is perhaps the most notable one-hit wonder of the internet era, so it's fitting that they played a couple free geek showcases at the tail end of NYC's poorly defined "internet week." On Sunday they were at the Fillmore/Irving to play the 150th Free MySpace show to a group of fans who started lining up a good 7 hours before showtime. Then on Tuesday they hit......

The Klaxons recently covered Justin Timberlake's "My Love", you can find that mp3 here, and Rock Plaza Central......

A couple of years ago Phish played one of their last shows, at Coney Island's Keyspan Park. Regretably we missed the shows. Thanks to YouTube we can now see a pretty good video of the band perform with Jay-Z. While Pitchfork only gave the performance 1.5 stars, we still think it's pretty amazing. If Phish were to come back they'd probably pair up with Gnarls Barkley and play "Crazy".......
