Chicago emcee Common, along with over 130 other music acts will be streamed live this weekend as part of AT&T’s Blue Room webcasts.

From August 4-6, audiences can see exclusive performances from 12:30 to 10 p.m. CDT each day.

After Lollapalooza is a happy memory, much of the content will be archived on the blue room to allow for repeat viewing.

Other artists include Wilco, Ryan Adams, Panic! at the Disco, Sleater-Kinney, Coheed & Cambria, The Subways, She Wants Revenge, Thievery Corporation and more.

Fans can visit the AT&T blue room at blueroom.att.com and log on for free.

The never predictable Kelis is scheduled to drop her highly anticipated Kelis Was Here on August 22, 2006.

For some reason, this cover reminds us of the 80s.

DMX is on board for a surprise performance today in New York City.

The dog loving emcee will celebrate the release of Year Of The Dog…Again by performing at Marcus Garvey Park (formerly Mount Morris Park) in Harlem, NY. The show, beginning at 3:30pm, will feature songs from the new album, his sixth, as well as previous hits.

The location, Madison Avenue at E. 120 & 124 facing N. General Hospital, near the basketball courts, is an ideal spot for DMX to thank fans for helping him become the only artist in the history of the Billboard Top 200 to have his first five albums debut consecutively at No. 1.

The follow-up to 2003′s Grand Champ, Year Of The Dog…Again is in stores today and features the emotional single “Lord Give Me A Sign.”
