"Following an inaugural launch which included the likes of Furthur, The Flaming Lips, moe., The Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band, STS9 and Passion Pit, the Nateva Music & Camping Festival will return for a second rendition in 2011 in Oxford, Maine."

This year, however, the festival will no longer take place over Fourth of July weekend, but will commence between August 5 and 7, with an early-bird kickoff to be held on August 5.

Ultra 2011 Dates

The 8th Annual Ultra Music Festival will take place March 25 to 27 in Bicentennial Park in Miami, FL. This ongoing electronic music festival has been voted the best music event by the International Dance Music Awards five years running.

Unlike past years and in order to avoid controversy, the festival will not coincide with the Winter Music Conference, which will take place this year in Miami from March 8 to 14. 

Tickets for Ultra are on sale now and early bird tickets are already sold out. The initial lineup announcement is coming soon.

Download Girl Talk's new album "All Day" for free

Mash-up extraordinaire Gregg Gillis, better know by his stage name as the infamous non-DJ Girl Talk, is at it again with a brand new, foot-tapping, body-rocking release from his Illegal Art label.

Two and a half years in the making, "All Day" is Girl Talk's fifth studio album and is breaking download records across the country - not to mention constantly bringing down their servers. 

The follow-up to the wildly popular 2008 release "Feed The Animals" will be followed by a very ambitious 2010-2011 tour. Find all the dates in our News Nug about it.

"All Day" is free to download on his website at http://illegal-art.net/allday/

For the music nerd in us all, check out the Wikipedia page where some dedicated (or very bored) fans outlined all the samples in each track.

And for our loyal jam enthusiasts, The Grateful Dead's "Casey Jones" appears briefly about 4:48 in during the fifth song, "This is a Remix" mixed with E-A-Ski and CMT's "Listen to the Hit", INXS's "Need You Tonight" and Fabolous' "Young'n" (Holla Back).

Cue deadheads calling 'blashemy'.
