The Macintosh Music Festival will take place in and about New York City the week of July 17. In the spirit of the now-defunct New Music Seminar, more than 100 bands will be performing at various area clubs and concert halls. However, the festival takes technology to the next level: users can not only find out who will play where, on the World Wide Web, but can use the Web at designated locations around New York City that week to check the goings on at other clubs.
Currently, the only way to access the site is on the Web at http://www.inch.com/~festival/Home.html because, at press time, the "official" site (http://www.quicktime.apple.com/nymusic) was having some difficulties. They are expected to be fixed before the start of the festival.
Liam Howlett of the Prodigy will be appearing live in the SPINonline AOL Lounge/Coliseum on Monday, July 10 at 8:00 pm ET In addition, there are soundsamples in the same forum from Liam.
