- I’m not sure what most of this means, but I just hope that no one reads it and decides to cultivate a crop of microcelebrities in our own second-tier city. [gawker]
- Final Fantasy is the band I might be most excited about seeing at Bumbershoot. Maybe even to the degree that I’d say that he is the main reason not to skip Sunday. Three mp3s from his upcoming EPs appeared online today. Get ‘em while they’re hot. [yanp, s'gum]
- I don’t necessarily recommend leaving Bumbershoot early on Saturday, but if you were so inclined, the main reason would be because you wanted to see Bon Iver , whose For Emma, Forever Ago was among my most favorite of last year’s releases. Thanks to re-release, it could be your favorite of this year. [neumos]
- If you’d been dying to check out what the Clover’s all about but wanted to avoid one of those indie places that used to brew drip coffee with them, now you can enjoy it at one of 10 Starbucks stores making use of their new acquisition. [bigblog]
- Richard McIver paid a fine for an ethics violation with city funds. Some are not amused. [citizenrain]



I seriously hope we avoid any Gawker-ish microcelebrities here. Yuck.
