Time to start poundin' the Rockstar, y'all, 'cause I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. As you read this, I should be at White River Amphitheatre, gettin' ready to "Shout at the Devil" with Motley Crue. Then I'll be back in Auburn for Z.Z. Top and Brooks & Dunn. And if I've got anything left in the tank, I'll check out Randy Travis Sunday at the Emerald Queen. And of course, I'll help you relive those events or show you what you missed if you didn't make it. Assuming all goes according to plan, I should have some notes and photos posted by tomorrow afternoon.

This week I watched “The Future is Unwritten,” an insightful and sometimes moving documentary on the late Joe Strummer. And as a result, it’s been all Clash all the time for me this week. Here are three songs that you should download now if they’re not already in your collection.

From back when the Clash was more of a conventional punk band, this anthem has really been stuck in my head this week.

“The Future is Unwritten” features a cool scene with Topper Headon describing the day he came up with the piano riff for one of the great pop tracks of our time – you know, right before his band mates kicked him to the curb.

This is a lesser known Clash gem. But some of you young'uns may still recognize this as source material for M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” (which you can hear on my "essential 2007 mix tape" here.)

Hey, don't forget to throw your two cents into the Weekly Weigh-In debate. Check out this week's topic and take the survey here. The polls close Sunday, and all.

If you're looking for a good musical road trip, you can check out the second annual Lounge Acts benefit concert, which will start at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13 at the Seventh Street Theatre in Hoquiam, according to a press release organizers sent out this week. Popular Seattle bands Harvey Danger and Schoolyard Heroes will headline this second annual benefit to memorialize the late, great Kurt Cobain in his hometown, Aberdeen.

In 2005, organizers erected a sign at the entrance to town that reads "Welcome to Aberdeen: Come As You Are." And last year, they kicked off the Lounge Acts benefits.

Opening acts for this year's event are Black Top Demon and Gebular, chosen from a dozen entries at a "battle of the bands" competition in June. Find out more at the Kurt Cobain memorial site.
