UPDATE – we are receiving reports that this earth quake originated in Ontario-Quebec border region of Canada and was a 5.0 magnitude.

Here is a link to the USGS which covers earthquakes – http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/

Well Miss Lohan has filed suit alleging that this line in the song has caused irreparable damage to her reputation.

For fun here is the Pitbull video -

Lace and Leather — from the Montreal show earlier in the month.

Up and Down — from the Montreal show earlier in the month.

Hold it Against Me — from the Montreal show earlier in the month.

3 — from the Montreal show earlier in the month.

Piece of Me — from the Montreal show earlier in the month.

Thanks goes out to the digitalbritneyspears channel team. We’ll post some updated Pittsburgh footage as soon as it is available.

Anyways here’s some video on the whole ridiculous “situation”.

This is the intro with all of the videos cut out. It’s definitely worth watching for the humor aspects.

This next video is “What a little bit of love can do” performed by Jeff Bridges. Kind of a stoner country rock song.

And just for good measure because The Dude recommended it and we must oblige – Jackson Browne – Barricades Of Heaven live on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 26th June 2010.

And part two

Thanks Chuckie!

Thanks to Classic Game Room for putting together the coverage video!

One of our personal favorites I’m 18 -

And of course because we grow up watching Wayne’s World who doesn’t love – Feed My Frankenstein

It looks like Clubdoc was able to record the entire show. If you enjoyed these videos please check out his Youtube page by clicking here.

The first video appears to be some sort of flying craft perhaps the bat plane? -

The next video is Catwoman Chasing Tumblers down the city streets of Pittsburgh -

The next video is Bane’s Speech at Heinz Field -

Here are some photos of Bane -

Finally here’s a pretty sweet fight sequence -

Pretty cool stuff if you ask us!

These specially priced tickets will give fans across the continent a chance to experience club culture and music by their favorite DJs and electronic music performers in an outdoor setting, produced by the top names in dance music and festival production.

Here is what some of IDENTITY’s featured artists have to share about this summer:

“The reason I was so interested in the ID festival was because nobody’s ever done anything like this before…I’ve been working a lot on the visuals and the staging and how I’m gonna present it. In these amphitheaters, essentially the stages are all the same, which is a lot different from touring in a nightclub because it’s always changing and I’m on a bus, so it gives me an opportunity to take that same exact show and present it at these different locations.

It’s very rewarding to be a part of ID Fest because it’s kind of the manifestation of a lot of hard work that’s gone into everything up to this point.”

—Kaskade

“The summer is always one of the most exciting times for any artist; the festival season means that the crowd just gets bigger and bigger and of course it’s a hectic time with lots of gigs. It’s the best time to really get a feel for any new material you’ve made as you can test it regularly and at a much higher level. I’ve already experienced some pretty awesome reactions to some new material we’ve been working on!”

—Avicii

“I like the idea of different types of music occupying the same arenas that have traditionally held rock dinosaurs and pop catastrophes. I like to think that the fact I’m even involved signifies a small triumph, almost like ‘Uh-oh, who let him in here?’ No matter what happens, I’m appreciative of the platform and opportunity to share what I do, which is the only thing I know how to do–make and play music. I’ve been a DJ for 27 years, and I think I have something valid to contribute to the genre, even if most people there have no idea who I am. Hopefully they will when it’s over.”

—DJ Shadow (as told to SPINNER.COM, June 29, 2011)

“Well, it’s going to either be great and we’ll all have an amazing time, or we’re going to totally hate each other by the end of it and be sick of the sight of each other! We’ve got some buddies on the tour that it’s always good to watch, Steve Aoki, Doorly, Datsik, Skrillex etc. But we’re also looking forward to checking out the guys that we’ve never seen before.”

—Nero

“We have a lot of experience in this area. I love the community spirit and camaraderie of touring with festivals. I love meeting and hanging with the different artists…I’m going to make every effort to see all the acts and meet as many new friends as possible. Let it be known that TCM’s bus is always open for a cold beer or refreshing mixer ”

—Scott Kirkland of The Crystal Method

“I’m looking forward to watching the artists I have not seen perform, but heard their music and I’m excited to meet the artists I have seen play. Almost every artist on this tour has inspired me in one way or another so it will be fun hanging with them across the country.”

—Marshall Barnes

“I’m so excited to be a apart of the first-ever touring electronic music festival!! I have an amazing show planned for everyone and I’m personally thrilled about the lineup. Get ready!! IDentity is going to be the sickest show of the summer!”

—Jessie of Jessie and the Toy Boys

“We are looking forward to playing our music in so many new cites we have never played before.”

—Afrobeta

“I’m especially looking forward to the Identity Festival. I have done many gigs over in North America, but not a festival yet, and I’m a junkie for new experiences…I am looking forward to doing my first tour with fellow VIVa MUSiC artist Leon, who is from Italy. Although we are both on VIVa, we haven’t really gigged much together as we are normally touring around doing our own separate gigs, so doing this with Leon and of course Steve Lawler will be fantastic.”

—Darius Syrossian

“Looking forward to a cross-country bus tour and developing new friendships along the way. (Identity + UMF) x Line up = !”

—Riotgear
