The somehow multi-platinum Grammy winner (whaaaaa?) is set to perform a free show at the Paramount July 17th. It's all part of the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush, a "Private Summer Music Experience Features Today's Hottest Artists In The Hippest Locations, and Offers Consumers A Chance To Experience the New Samsung JACK™ Mobile Phone!" [sic up the wazoo]. Portions of the night's hour-long set will air that evening on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and after two hours of corporate phone-related shilling, the performance starts at 8:00 p.m. Mark your calendar, y'know, if you're into this sort of thing.

Your favorite super-duper producer is performing at Showbox SoDo on November 2, and the Ticketmaster presale ends today at 5pm. Presale codes are "showbox" and "verizon." Mista Timba will perform his most recently wrapped album in its entirety. You know, the one by Chris Cornell. (Yes, he's also on the bill.)

If, like Seattlest, you have been glued to every gymnastics event regardless of the fact that they don't show them until three in the morning, perhaps this is news for you. Gymnastics Olympians Shawn Johnson, Chelsie Memmel, Morgan Hamm, and our personal fave Nastia Liukin (bless her heart; girlfriend was ROBBED, we tell you!) will be dropping into the Tacoma Dome on Sept. 27. Judging from the commercial we saw (which included a rock band and two people on the parallel bars at the same time!), it looks like it'll be kind of a gymnastics version of Disney on Ice. Except better, because gymnastics can kick ice dancing's ass. Tickets and other info here.

While their live shows the past few years have oscillated between sublime hit and disappointing miss, there's no denying the impressiveness of Built To Spill's back catalog. Central to their discography is 1997's Perfect From Now On, their major label (Warner Bros.) debut, and an album we listened to *a lot* in college. With its noodly, hypnotic guitar epics, catchy anti-pop melodies, and downright biting lyrics, Perfect From Now On was destined to be a classic, and now the elder statesman of Pacific Northwest indie rock are doin' it live.

We didn't know Neil Diamond has a new album (Home Before Dark, out May 6th), and we don't care that he has a new album (even though it is his second collaboration with uber-producer Rick Rubin). We're just glad to hear that this September, Neil Diamond is coming to town. Even after he whored himself on this week's American Idol, it's hard to hate on the legend.

It's that special time of month when the Seattlest inbox starts filling up with notices and pre-sale info for upcoming concerts.
