Only 14.54 too. I can't believe I just bought a ticket to the Streets when I know Neko Case, RIchard Buckner, and Bright Eyes are all coming through. ILM has ruined my life. I'm sure Michelangelo will go. He can do his Skinner imitation for us all before the show.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 26 September 2002 16:13 (twenty-three years ago)

But what about Tracer Hand? He should surely attend... Will this sell out? I wouldn't mind going, but not so much that I would buy my ticket in advance.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 26 September 2002 16:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought this thread was gonna be pictures of new york streets!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 26 September 2002 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

something tells me that this will sell out pretty quickly.

― maura (maura), Thursday, 26 September 2002 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

holy crap! this sounds GREBT. i heard he has a live band or something at his shows??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 September 2002 21:58 (twenty-three years ago)

that i do not know, but tracer do get a ticket! this way we can finally meet etc

― maura (maura), Friday, 27 September 2002 00:53 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll be there (i think).

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 27 September 2002 01:54 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe i'll try to sync my trip to this...

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 02:01 (twenty-three years ago)

i want to see the streets of nyc.

― ron (ron), Friday, 27 September 2002 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

okay if all the wonderful ilm people are going i suppose i could walk the five minutes from my house to the mercury lounge; just someone please promise me he is not the british eminem(?)

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 27 September 2002 02:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Oooooooooooooo!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 27 September 2002 03:12 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe i'll try to sync my trip to this...

or to when Gareth's here, cos that'll be a good meet-up
what'll we do? honey, this is New York!

Mary, have you still not heard The Streets?
UK Eminem? what filth have Tracer & Matos poluted your mind with?
I see it now, the perils of arriving too late to FAPs
to save ya from the critics

― Paul (scifisoul), Friday, 27 September 2002 10:50 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm there 16-20 october. i sound a bit like mc pitman. well, no not really, hes not yorkshire enough

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 27 September 2002 11:57 (twenty-three years ago)

he's from nottinghamshire, he's a DUM man

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 27 September 2002 12:12 (twenty-three years ago)

i know, but it'll do. if he had a decent dewsbury accent then he'd rule

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 27 September 2002 12:42 (twenty-three years ago)

He has a live band! My friends saw him in Dublin, first ever gig, said it was amazing.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

ah yes, I heard it from you, Ro

oh good lord we never said anything of the kind. maybe he's got a similar eye for detail but it's far more deliberate and wry... toasted wry...

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 27 September 2002 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to see him; I just don't want to pay. Either way I'm happy to meet up.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:15 (twenty-three years ago)

and yes, ron and jess, come soon and see visit streets of NY. I am particularly familiar with the gutters.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

felicity i really recommend the gutter on 39th (?) street and broadway outside of the combo kfc/taco bell. if you're lucky they still haven't cleaned up my vomit. (not surprising, really, given astoria.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, and fried chicken + tacos + 2 40s...NOT a good idea.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

also, the gutter outside of the 7B. memorieeees.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, and the subway station at astor place. damn, i threw up a lot in nyc!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:30 (twenty-three years ago)

hey don't front on astoria!!!

― maura (maura), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:31 (twenty-three years ago)

haha maura i'm OLD SCHOOL. step off.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Your memories are appropriately fuzzy, jess - you mean "7A".

At least it wasn't a Roy Rogers / Dunkin Donuts combo. EWWWWW

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

let's call the whole thing off.

all i remember is that the bar stank and they liked to play motorhead "ironically." DUD.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

oh i threw up outside of a gay bar in chelsea where i played rage against the machine on the jukebox and cleared the bar and then got kicked out. oops!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:40 (twenty-three years ago)

why was it on the jukebox?

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 27 September 2002 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't know!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Paul--I asked a certain music critic to lend me the Streets on Monday but she has failed to comply...

Felicity--I'm with you--wanting to go but not wanting to pay...but wait--isn't this part of CMJ--you're in like flynn...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 27 September 2002 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

well Mary you wanted the album for a whole HOUR

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 27 September 2002 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

True--I was asking for a great deal; we all know how stingy music critics can be...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 27 September 2002 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

am obviously gonna go; am profiling him for a local magazine so why not? prior-to meetup? have these details been worked out w/o my understanding the posts? (oh, and Motorhead is CLASSIC, though I think I know what Jess means about the use of them in that context, in which case ugh.)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 27 September 2002 23:50 (twenty-three years ago)

also, I called him a cross between Eminem and Ian Dury, which isn't terribly inaccurate: funny voices from former, Britishisms etc. from latter. more a 20-80 split than the opposite, though, for sure.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 27 September 2002 23:51 (twenty-three years ago)

i am going to be in nyc from 10/12 - 10/19. are there any developments on the meet-up front??

― ron (ron), Saturday, 28 September 2002 00:32 (twenty-three years ago)

ron, not yet, but I think we may be meeting on the 18th.

― rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 28 September 2002 02:39 (twenty-three years ago)

that'll be fun, ron! please leave your 6-legged friends at home, though.

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 28 September 2002 02:41 (twenty-three years ago)

i will not intentionally bring any bugs!

the 18th - that's what i thought. i have tentatively arranged to stay out in brooklyn that night, but with those crazy dang subway thingies there should be no worries, right?

― ron (ron), Saturday, 28 September 2002 07:21 (twenty-three years ago)

My friends told me he screamed "i want you all to get fucked up (and vomit outside kfc)" towards the end of the gig when the Beedle remix of WBH was playing.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 28 September 2002 12:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Skinner = my new hero...

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 28 September 2002 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I personally like Crosby Street, I hope he gives it a shout-out

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 28 September 2002 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

i played rage against the machine on the jukebox and cleared the bar and then got kicked out

Given the music, you got what you deserved.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 28 September 2002 21:25 (twenty-three years ago)

three weeks pass...

The Sunday Streets show has been moved to the Bowery Ballroom...

― Yancey (ystrickler), Monday, 21 October 2002 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah i've fucking walked there twice now and not come away with tickets - once on Friday when Mercury Lounge said the tickets had just been moved over there (they had not been) - and once yesterday when they were very inconsiderately, uh, closed

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 21 October 2002 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Just go to TicketWeb.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Monday, 21 October 2002 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

isn't it like $1.50 extra?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 21 October 2002 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, but in comparison to TicketMaster...

I'm gonna pass on the show. With Black Heart @ Southpaw on Monday, Hella @ North Six on Tuesday and CMJ Wednesday through Saturday I'll be seeing enough shows already.

― Yancey (ystrickler), Monday, 21 October 2002 21:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh no! Moved to the Bowery Ballroon! But the Mercury Lounge is so much more intimate and, um, closer to my apartment, frankly... Oh Tracer, even if the show is at BB, ML should be the ticket selling venue...Ok--I want to hang with all of the music industy people...Where are we meeting beforehand? Just to keep Jess jealous!

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 October 2002 22:05 (twenty-three years ago)

this is the third time i've forgotten what this thread is about and clicked on it in the hope that it will be a link to a collection of photos of new york...ah well,such is life...

― robin (robin), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 05:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer, did you get my email?

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 06:23 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll get back to you this afternoon M

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't expect to be blown away. He's a great producer, but on stage it's him, his mate, drums bass and keyboards. This would be a good thing if he was Michael Franti, but he's no Michael Franti. Also, he was smashed out of his head when I saw him (the same gig Ronan's talking about).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 15:20 (twenty-three years ago)

If anybody is following this guy around like he's the Grateful Dead or something, I'll be at the L.A. show on Thursday at the Troubadour.
