You have no idea how good it makes me feel to hear someone else wants a *good* concert feed. I want to type in my zip code, enter in a radius of travel, and get updates of bands / genres I like and have it tell me about the concerts. I’ve missed far too many shows because I’m not keeping up with the 10 different venue sites on a daily basis.

You are so right about Rita Cosby. Who the hell hired her?!??! Every time I hear her (right before hitting the Mute button) I think
of the old saying he’s got a face for radio but in this case she’s got a voice for newspaper.

“If anyone wants to create something really useful, develop an RSS-delivered web service which lets you know about every concert coming to your town before tickets even go on sale.”

I’m working on a project that will offer this soon. Email me if you’d like to try out the beta when it’s available.

The Leo site is nice.

My parents actually live in his former domain outside of Chicago. An occasional grandkid drops by to relive the memories of growing up and visting there. (Probably one of his several homes though).

I’ll second the comments made about the Leo Burnett site. That’s probably the most creative site I’ve seen in a long time. I love the navigation and am especially impressed by the alternate navigation methods.

Crest Vanilla Mint toothpaste tastes a lot like a Captain & Coke.

Are we going to need an intervention to get you to put the toothpaste down?

I’m with you on the Leo Burnet site. I could spend hours there trying to find everything.

Damn if I don’t open my own shop soon, all the CSS properties would have already been taken as names.

Crazy I know, but that Leo Burnett flash extravaganza featured on WebPagesThatSuck recently - just goes to show, you can't please all of the people...

I’m with you on Rita Cosby. She’s like a bad SNL skit.

Mike, try out bandnews.org. They crawl official band sites and are able to serve you up some nice RSS feeds of concert dates and other official news.I found the Black Keys for you. Black Keys

Leo Burnett – Everytime I see work like that it reminds me of how much more learning I have to do. That was beautiful.

I love it when people come up with an interesting way of presenting a lot of information in a way that is impossible through HTML, yet usable.

Hollobaugh’s lucky he got out when he did and doesn’t have to listen to her asthmatic smoker’s cough voice at work.

Oh, sure, the Leo Burnett is cray creative. BUT, it’s incredibly frustrating to use. I get sick of it rather quickly.
