Preview upcoming shows
I’m perpetually confusedly by concert listings — whether tiny flyers or full-page _Reader_ ads, they all amount to a tightly packed, practically illegible list screaming a bunch of punny band names, dates, and times, perhaps with a meaningless photo of rocker dudes in some weird getup or a tiny bit of explanatory text that means almost nothing and/or references yet more bands you’ve never heard of. (I know, it’s only because I’m not cool enough to be a total record snob and/or don’t regularly sleep with talent scouts.) Surely there’s a better way, like a by-day list of acts with little MP3 previews built right in, like Podbop. It doesn’t have 100% coverage, but does answer the question “where to go on Thursday?” much better than anything else out there.
Cool thing about Podbop, is anyone can list an event, so if theres not many events in your area get listing (or bug your local venues to do it!) :)
