Singer Sharon Van Etten’s Apple G4 laptop, bearing a red streak from the time she painted her nails red and accidentaly scratched it, has gone missing! Lovingly named “Sharon Van Halen”, the machine’s deskop was set to the picture of a Dolly Parton statue. Sharon had parked her car near East Houston street and Suffolk street on Thursday night, from where the laptop hidden underneath the seat in a black fitting laptop case with no strap, just handles, was stolen, leaving Sharon several songs poorer: all of the new songs she’d worked on this year were on that computer; tracks by Sharon Van Halen and Sharon Van Etten populate the iTunes. If by a stroke of magnificent chance you happen to see this device floating around, you can contact Sharon on her myspace (or you can always buy her wonderful CD to help her pay for her new laptop!).

Download “Do You Love Me?” | The band hit a large deer in Montana and broke their van, definitely missing their Seattle show tonight, and possibly missing others. So they’ve asked if you can help with some of the fixing costs involved. Listen to the song and decide if you need them like they need you, and donate if you do.
