If the Internet had ears, they would be ringing with euphoric bliss every night for the next 4 days. Each night at approximately 8pm EST, a different band will perform live online, at no cost to viewers* via Livestream. Why? Because SPIN Magazine is teaming up with Livestream to celebrate it’s 25th Anniversary along side anyone and everyone with access to the Web. Talk about a party. 
The event technically stretches for five days, as it kicked off last night with the Smashing Pumpkins, but the next four nights are bound to be just as impressive. The famous music ‘zine rallied some amazing talent who are all known for putting on stellar live shows, including the psychedelic Flaming Lips and the innovative blues duo, The Black Keys. When it comes to four days of straight up sound, it doesn’t get much better than this.
The Internet might not have eardrums, but we do. Let’s use them wisely.

*The event is free, but there is a catch: it’s sponsored by ZYNC from American Express, so before you can access the free live stream, you have to log in to your facebook account and “like” the facebook group, ZYNC.The livestream page makes these instructions quite clear and very easy, so it’s a small price to pay, if anything.
