Lou Reed at Web 2.0 Summit, by Inky at Flickr.

Lou Reed plays Web 2.0 for AOL: At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco this week booked Lou Reed. This post (Lou Reed 2.0) at Justinsomnia says he couldn't get the chattering engineers' attention, got mad and turned the volume up.

But of course it's Web 2.0 so there's video, and the geeks are dancing to Gravity.

The video of how the set started suggests how steep the curve must have been for all of them. Another happy ending.

Don't miss the comments on that post.

Weekend mp3s: At BigO Singapore, Patti Smith-- the last show at CBGB's, last month; Bob Dylan, a high-quality line recording of an early Rolling Thunder concert, Oct. 31, 1975, War Memorial Auditorium, Plymouth, Mass.; 1973 Miles Davis.

Buy season: Leaked Black Friday Ads: Doth the Retailers Protest Too Much? by Elana Centor at BlogHer. Links there for those who observe the retail rites of an all-night parking-lot vigil Thanksgiving night.

With respect for others' rituals, I'm not of that tribe.

I have enough stuff. This Christmas, I want the really hot item -- peace on earth.

(I am thinking, though, of giving myself the gift I wanted when I was 16. More about that if I do.)

Sunday football: The Patriots play the Jets in Foxboro tomorrow, 1 p.m. on CBS. Eric Mangini versus mentor Bill Belichick.

At the same time, Washington plays Philadelphia on Fox. Dallas plays at Arizona at 4 on Fox, and the Bears play the Giants at 8:30 on NBC.
