Sign of the musicpocalypse: there are two reggae bands currently on my radar who specialize in recreating Beatles tunes. Well, that's not entirely fair, as Easy All Stars is currently touring behind Thrillah, their Michael Jackson tribute and have other rock and pop artists in their sites as well. But, I needed to get them...

Update 9/25: Includes data through end of Summer TourIn 2011, The Barn introduced Visual Song Charts and the Rotation Graph as ways to conceptualize all of the songs in the rotation over the course of a Phish tour.

Surviving The World offers lots of irreverent graphs and flow charts, doodled on chalkboards to add a whiff of academic certainty to them. Here's a music related flow that deals with one of my minor obsessions... figuring out how some artists break through and have radio hits. As you can see, it's all about who...

In a (nowadays) rare moment of candor in the press, Page McConnell told Rolling...

File this one under just for fun, but it'd be interesting to see how many band photos you can find that follow this same pattern. It certainly seems like it is an accurate description of most of the promo photos that get circulated around the net. Thanks to online comic doughousediaries.com for putting this...

This one works on so many levels, it is no wonder it is a favorite of the curators of ilovecharts. I dedicate its inclusion on tomorrowsverse.com to my favorite keytar player, The Chairman Of The Boards Page McConnell.
