The first notes of Al Gore's globalmegaextravaganza Live Earth will sound in Sydney at 10 p.m. ET, and the concert has had its share of last-minute scrambles—a show in DC, Gogol Bordello getting the call-up to back Madonna, a never-before-seen interest in the Antarctic music scene, and, of course, Pete Wentz promotional appearances. But one question remains: Will people tune in?

You know, Duran Duran's "Planet Earth" is an excellent song choice for this event, just as long as no one actually tries to make sense of the lyrics.
I was hoping for some serious, 18 hour, Idolator live blogging today, but I guess I shouldn't expect Gawker Media to pay writers for a Saturday. Damn.
