We’re constantly posting information on Twitter with the #charlottemusic tag… and I’m personally sending out concert information and updates via my page there.

Tonight, Jewel is performing at the new Knight Theater in Uptown Charlotte. Want to win a pair of tickets? Simply send out a Tweet stating, “I want to win Jewel tickets!” and tag it with #charlottemusic. The first one to show up on the Music page’s Twitter feed wins.

Good luck!

(And stay tuned, I’ll be posting blogs and Twitter updates from the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans this weekend.)

Today’s Twitter post of the day goes to John Mayer in reference to Perez Hilton allegedly being attacked by Black Eyed Peas Will.i.am:

I love that @perezhilton uses his cellphone to log on to twitter to post a tweet to ask his followers to call the police for him.

Which he followed up with:

Last year P!nk kneed me in the nuts outside Chateau Marmont. I was pissing blood for days. Did I make a scene?

Travis Barker and DJ AM may have found the happy medium between paying for albums and just downloading them for free.

The duo gave away their mixtape “Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella 09″ this week for the cost of … ONE TWEET!

So anyone looking to get their album can get it for free, they just have to post on Twitter saying “Download the new #trvsdjam mixtape – “Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella 09″ in exchange for one tweet! http://twitter.trvsdjam.com”

After you post the tweet, you immediately get the link to download the mixtape (which isn’t bad but is kind of awkward to listen to when you’re still in bed at Noon cause it sounds live a rave).

With people still trying to figure out what Twitter is for exactly and how to capitalize from it, this could be a great new model for artists to leak new music and spread the buzz about it without spending a ton of money.

And much like I’m writing about this now, they’ll probably get a lot of free press in blogs and mags just for the genius of each side of the download spectrum giving a little to produce a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Get new music, give up a tweet, kinda sweet. (That rhymed… I definitely should’ve been a rapper).

If you hadn’t heard, Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell tore a calf muscle at the band’s concert in Atlanta last night.

Here’s what bassist Eric Avery had to say about it on Twitter today:
