Big News for Music, Musicians and Fans: "The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market.
As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees." Further, artists' efforts to keep event costs low were repeatedly frustrated by executives' greedy bid to drive Ticketmaster revenue by reaping as many additional fees as possible, the FTC alleged."

The last of our guests are home in the UK, after our 10th year filling the house with music for SXSW week. Thanks to everyone who traveled so far to bring so much fun and magic again this year. Skinny Lister, always amazing and thanks for the loan of the amps. Dan Lyons for bringing us such lovely new housemates and playing amazing new music on Skinny Lister's amps for us. We're excited to share. Thanks for the new truck battery! :D

The project wouldn't have existed, continued or grown into what it is today without so many people over 10 years. Thank you all!
