I hope they let Flava Flav do lots of his solo stuff!
You mean putting a bed onstage so he can screw New York?
Yeah, watching him making it with New York, with his solo album playing, would be the bomb!
Whether you think of him as Chuck D's sidekick/hype man in Public Enemy or as that flamboyant crazy cat who starred in the jaw-droppingly weird reality series Flavor of Love, a solo album from Flavor Flav is an iffy proposition. Flav's self-titled debut is pleasingly loose at times, fun overall, and often so charming it's easy to ignore the shoddy packaging and patched-together feel of the album. First off, Flav produces more than you'd expect and plays most of the instruments, something that makes the fist-pumping "Flavor-Man" sound a bit like â?? hold on to something â?? the Roots kickin' it live. He's no slouch when it comes to production either. The kooky party number "Unga Bunga Bunga" has a funky, crooked bassline that Radio 4 and LCD Soundsystem fans will embrace, and on the easy-rolling "Wonder Why," his reminiscing is supported by a hypnotic bed of soul. On the other hand, "Wonder Why" is a great example of how haphazard the album can be, since it's edited on both the clean and explicit version while other tracks on the explicit version let the cussing fly. Since the album was released in 2006, another example of its questionable origins is Flav's "2005!!" holla on "Two Wrongz" or the "1998-2000" mention on "No Loot" (course "Two Wrongz" includes the great "Man, I miss my first three kids/But there's some foul sh*t their mother did"). Other tracks seem to start mid-beat or sound likes demos, and there's every reason to believe this was cobbled together from the two unreleased albums Flav had recorded. Toward the end there's some trying club music that betrays the casual feel that began the album, but there's also the "Brass Monkey"-biting "Col-Leepin," which uses Flav's classic PE track "Cold Lampin' with Flavor" as a jump-off point. The edits are annoying, the highlights are mostly upfront, and Biz Markie and Kool Keith are still the whack-job kings, but there's so many great moments of undiluted Flava on the album, you can't help but recommend it to hardcore fans.

"A local band opening for Cloud Cult?! Hmmm…"
It appears to be the other way around which looks a little odd to me too. It's also a great bill no matter the order in which they play, though.

you guys actually think public enemy will show up this time?
Originally posted by Joe M.:I think you mean the opposite. It would make sense since Exit Clov is the bigger draw…

Joey McIntyre (from New Kids on the Block) "Talk to Me" CD Release Show
Joey McIntyre is a modern throwback to the classic song-and-dance men of show business, a veteran who has starred on Broadway (in "Wicked") and off (Jonathan Larson's "tick, tick, Boom!"), TV (Dancing with the Stars, Boston Public), film (Tony and Tina's Wedding, The Fantasticks), records (selling 35 million as the youngest New Kid on the Block and a hit solo single, "Stay the Same") and the concert stage.
"I only do things I'm excited about, think I have a flair for and what I'll learn from," says the Boston-born trouper, one of nine children in a close-knit Irish-Catholic family. "Sometimes you have to take a chance."

That has to be a dj set. $15 and at the black cat? Yeah I think dj set is a safe bet.
Is Exit Clov really a bigger draw here than Cloud Cult?
