screenshot of my iConcert Cal, October 2, 2007
One of the most beautiful things about blogging is that naturally, I end up reading a lot of other blogs. The wealth of knowledge that is delivered free of cost right to my RSS-doorstep never ceases to amaze me. I’ve discovered a few really nice blogs lately, one of which is called Horses Think.
And thanks to Horses Think, I’ve found this great iTunes plug-in – iConcert Cal. iConcert Cal “monitors your music library and generates a personalized calendar of upcoming concerts in your city.” Just switch over to the Visualizer in iTunes and you can take a look at your personalized calendar. The plug-in can also show you CD release dates.
Brilliant (assuming you listen to good music)! I wonder, is this available as a direct plug-in for iCal? That would be nice.
Here are some upcoming concerts that it recommends for me in the Boston area, a few of which I had already planned to attend (good sign):
October 3 – Arthur & Yu @ Middle East Upstairs
October 4 – Patrick Wolf @ Paradise Rock Club
October 6 – The Blow @ Museum of Fine Arts
October 7 – Sunset Rubdown @ Middle East Downstairs
October 8 – Black Mountain @ Great Scott
Ocotber 11 – Mono @ Middle East Downstairs
October 13 – Explosions in the Sky @ Orpheum Theatre

The iConcert Cal is a neat idea. If Austin wasn’t already served by Do512.com ‘s handy widgets I use this for sure!

Sharky, I’ve seen them before and know the extent to which they rock. I’m considering it…

S.
Thank you sir, a nice little app. I second Mono, and suggest Explosions In The Sky if you are not already considering it. Best.
