IRIS Friday Wrap-Up

Great things have happened (and are still happening) in both hip hop and pop this week!


Hip hop legends Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun team up to bring you a free (yes, FREE!!) download this week of their new track "Night Time" at the Zune Marketplace. What's more, they've been featured prominently on the Hip Hop page at Zune, and their new album Monumental, released on June 28, has been reviewed favorably by many (see here).

The former boy-band-member train keeps chugging along, as we get even more intimate with our man Nick Carter. First, Nick gives us a glimpse into his home away from home. Second, he gets serious and discusses what he thinks the future holds for him. What next? Nick declaring his love for IRIS? Nope! (Although, we wish that were true). Instead, he hopes to secure a cameo on the hit show Glee. The show is a guilty pleasure of ours, so fingers-crossed! See Nick in all his glory here:
And calling all locals! Yes, you, our fellow San Fransiscans, NorCal-ians, hella cool residents of the bay area and even tourists out here to celebrate the 4th with us! This Saturday, July 2, Against Me! will be playing at the Vans Warped Tour in Mountain View amongst many other big names. If you've never been to the tour before, rest assured it's the most fun you've had in one day since your last trip to Disneyland. And the best part is, the tickets are only $35 so you (and your wallet) are still ready to throw down for Independence Day. IRIS loves Against Me! See them live and find out why. <3

Tickets and more info can be found online here.

Can you tell we're proud of our artists? ;)
