Posted by Matthew Yette 2/3/10 2:03pm

Being a diehard DMB fan has its disadvantages. The constant need to know what is going on at all moments in the world of Dave Matthews Band. That craving, that itch. No, not that itch. The desire to know. We get that. That's why we came up with DMB Live Setlist.

But what if you're in the middle of something on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Texting a friend? Listening to Pandora? Playing Bejeweled?

AntsLive Gets Twitter Upgrade    
Posted by Matthew Yette 2/1/10 1:17pm

AntsLive! provides Ants a way to share their concert experiences with the fanbase while the show is still going on. We have now expanded on the growing trend in social networking and tweaked AntsLive! to operate a little differently. Instead of texting in photos, videos, and text messages from the concert, all you have to do is tweet, and we'll take care of the rest!

With Twitter gaining so much in popularity, we decided to embrace the wave, rather than ask the fans to text experiences to a separate address. So many people are tweeting constantly during tailgates and the shows. With the new AntsLive!, once you link your Ants account to your Twitter name, AntsLive! will collect your tweets during the show and display them *live* during the concert on antsmarching.org [and other places, we hope. More on that "soon!"]

DMB Fails To Win Album Of The Year    
Posted by Jake Vigliotti 2/1/10 6:44am
Dave Matthews Band had a strong showing at The Grammy's, but failed in their effort to pick up Album Of The Year. Taylor Swift, who you may have learned from the 722 references to it, writes her own songs, won the "big" award for Album Of The Year. DMB also lost for "Best Rock Album". Both nominees were for Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King.

... Or "GrooGroo" King, as presenter John Legend called the album. Clearly, the word is pronounced "Grew-Grux", considering it's a tribute to LeRoi Moore, who was referred to as "Grux" by friends. Regardless, DMB did receive high marks for their live performance of "You And Me", with an ensemble group accompanying their performance.
