Unkle
10/23
Webster Hall

[betao]

Cool. Is that UNKLE show part of a tour? And is it a live band and not just a Nevelle DJ set?

[azaghal1981]

Yes and I think so.


It's like 4 American cities and one Mexican. Or three American and two Mexican. I forget.

Pitchfork has the list.

[betao]

Ah ok. Wow, only NYC, LA, and SF. Come on, UNKLE are more popular than that!

And that's crazy that it's only a couple of days away from Massive Attack in NYC. My bday is the 21st, It'd be an awesome bday gift to see Gary Numan, Massive Attack, Thievery Corp, and UNKLE all within days of each other...

...expensive as hell on me, but awesome nonetheless!

Ut reunion/Talk Normal

Issue Project Room

 Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M., Bloc Party),

It was somewhat disingenous for him to be credited in that manner*, seeing as he's done production for those three bands but isn't a member.

Jacknife Lee has been on my radar since 1998, when he was making breaks-style dance music, but he seems to have become better known for his production work in the past several years:

I would've thought so too... but I remember when I did the opening set for their D.C. appearance at Club Five in Nov. 2004, James Lavelle said that the turnout had varied widely among different shows on that tour.  So maybe some markets are better bets than others.

The Nov. 2004 tour was a live PA by James Lavelle and Richard File, but not a "band"-type performance.

Im sure this could be placed elsewhere - man jumped from mezzanine during Phish show @ Jones Beach, is in "critical but stable condition"

[azaghal1981]

We should start a "Darwin Awards" thread for things like that.
