… for a new Plasma Widget that is 
I’ve just started implementing a mashup that lists music events going on your own location (from Last.fm) and adds links to Google Maps, Social Services etc.
But the beast needs a name as I think “Last.fm Events” is a tad too generic. It has to be a name that gives the user an idea of what the widget does, so it shouldn’t be too imaginatively – like say Plasma, Akonadi, Funambol etc. No offense intended 
BTW a name is also needed because I need to register at Last.fm to get an API key and I have to inform them about the applications name. It’s a bit premature for something that hasn’t been released even at Alpha level but that is in their ToS…
There’s still a long way to go but here are some screenies as an appetizer for what can be expected:

Evocation has been suggested by kudlaty

Hmm… ‘Muse’? (sounds a bit like music and can mean “a goddess that inspires a creative artist” or in this case a source of information to inspire you to go and see a creative artist)

The name is good for both reasons. Personally though I get associations to the band Muse

A little brainstorm:
English phrases:
What’s up?
)
What’s Hot Here?
Cool Stuff Around Me
What shall I do tonight?
Who’s playing here?
Daily Koncert (I like the K
Koncert finder
NightLine music
Where to Party?
ListenLive
LiveCatcher
MusicTonight / Music Night
Esperanto:
Okazoj
Okazilo (tool for events)
Lokaj Okazoj (local events, also sounds a bit mischievish like Loki
)
Okazo means event, but also “a chance”.

Hi Arne.
Thanks for notifying me on identi.ca
Before I read this post I ran “Lokaj Okazoj” through Google Translator and it picked up that it was Esperanto but couldn’t translate it. Then I tried with Czech and it gave me “Footman Okazoj”
Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll think about it for a couple of days.

Great! Have fun with the names!

Might be boring, but at least it’s obvious: Local Concerts. Amarok has an applet which does something similar (no map though) called Upcoming Events.

I wasn’t even aware that Amarok has such an applet even though I use it every day (v. 2.3.2) maybe it isn’t there.
I think that an obvious name like that would be good if it was e.g. in a context like Amarok but for a standalone applet it should distinguish itself a bit more.
I’m currently leaning against Evocation or maybe Evocator even though it’s a bit against my own argumentation

What about “Concerts Around” or “Music Around”?

I ended up with Evocation as suggested by kudlaty. Thanks for all the good suggestions.
