Today is your last chance to get Summerfest passes for the low, low price of $22.50. They go up at midnight. Prince Paul, who only produced De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising, has signed on to DJ the afterparty. See freepresssummerfest.com.

Besides a new album, Wrong Is What I Do Best, Miss Leslie of the Juke Jointers has a baby! Her name is Emilee Rebecca Anne Bledsoe. Congrats to the happy family.
