2008 Woodie Awards
For your listening pleasure...
Issue date: 2/3/06 Section: Entertainment
Concerts:
If you like reggae, upstrokes, ska or any thing happy, the upcoming week in concerts was put together specifically for you. First, you have two chances to go see the nearest fraternity's favorite band, O.A.R., giving you no real excuse to miss them as they come through in support of their latest album Stories Of A Stranger. If, for some unknown, unjustified reason, you refuse to go see one of the best live acts in music today, but you still want to get a dose of the sunny weather and good vibes, take a trip to Cleveland to see Less Than Jake on Wednesday, or Lucky Boys Confusion on Friday. It may not be authentic, but it can hold you over at least until Damien comes around.

News & Notes:
- Madonna did it again this week when she announced that she will be performing with Gorillaz at this month's Grammys. Though she has a great deal of experience in the collaborative world, this will be the first time an artist has shared the stage with a cartoon. The group is said to appear via a 3-D mirror track. It promises to entertain.
- The initial batch of performers for this summer's Bonnaroo Festival was announced this week. The show will take place the weekend of June 16-18 and feature Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes, Elvis Costello and Beck among a laundry list of performers all you hipsters love.
- Your favorite bad boy Diddy launched his new fragrance, Unforgivable, this past Wednesday at New York's Core Club. Such stars as Jay-Z, Lindsay Lohan and Pam Anderson all turned out in support of their extremely rich friend.
- Former Stone Temple Pilots/current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland announced plans this week to publish a memoir about his battles with drug addiction.
