Air roll call

The only way Frat Guy lost his virginity listening to Moon Safari is if he was with a super cool girl. And they were at her place.

She was probably really hot too.

Nicely done, Frat Guy.

To frat guy!! Best damn salesman in the office! He squired an entire baseball team! Hell, an orchestra if you count the bastards! To Frat Guy!

Frat guy is a son of a bitch!

i read one old review that wasn't flattering. said the crowd was very chatty, which i can believe - i'm sure lots of frat boys who lost their virginity to "moon safari" will come to the show, but since they aren't into the music will talk about fantasy baseball during the entire set (like the ones i was standing in front of at the Massive Attack show!). reviewer also complained that the music was slow, loungey and atmospheric - i.e. he wasn't expecting an Air show! sorta ridiculous.

i'm definitely looking forward to this. what would be an appropriate drink for an Air show? martini?

They were very good, ….last year, I think it was. Only downside were the drunk girls. A couple were especially obnoxious, especially the one who seemed to be completely out of her element at a show and was convinced she would get backstage. If she weren't so annoying, it would have been funny.

I'll be there tonight. CANT.WAIT.

i'm your last minute DJ and yikes do i need to do some searching in the collection.

That drummer was AMAZING. Can't wait.

My sister saw them in Chicago and I got a full report. Should be a good show, lots of older stuff! Plus they still have the same drummer from the last time they came through, and he kicked ass. Can't wait.

Was very impressed the last time they came around. Glad to see they have the same drummer. Should be an amazing show as everyone as said before. you think it will sell out at the door?

Kosmo, can I make a couple of requests?

How about:

Saint Etienne – Lose That Girl
Phoenix – (anything would be good)
Les Rhythmes Digitales – (Hey You) What's That Sound?
Gang of Four – Is It Love?
Air Miami – anything from them would be cool

Just trying to help with some ideas :)

Just saw that they have been playing "J'Ai Dormi Sous L'Eau" on this tour. AWESOME.

kosmo - not sure if this is helpful, but back in the day when i listened to a lot of air, other bands on my playlist included: CFM band, st etienne, stereolab (emperor ketchup!), and a bunch of lesser-known acid jazz and dub acts.

personally, if i was to DJ this show, i'd go space lounge & dubby downtempo… oh, wait, that's what i'd spin at most every show.

FYI, i'm checking out the opener's (Kate Havnevik) music on her myspace page and am kinda digging it… i was going to propose hanging out in the backbar before Air hits the stage, but what i've heard so far makes me want to catch her performance. vaguely reminiscent of a bjork/sinead hybrid doing the postal service. will definitely go well with a martini.

so i guess i'll save my meet-up idea for LCD this sunday… TBD.

was just thinking the other day how cool it would be to DJ for Air but figured they'd have their own pre-show music so… but as it was there was a need for the DJ and person original slated to do it dropped out so here i am diggin' through my stacks of CDs deciding between fully a nice mixture of all of the above (thanks for the st. etienne reminder it was crossed my mind before) along with 60s pop, 70s funk, etc, etc… problem is i have oodles of the stuff and deciding at the last minute freaks me out..

it doesn't help of course that the Heaven 17 re-issues came in the mail today

PENTHOUSE AND PAVEMENT!! God, one of my all-time favorite songs. Kosmo, that would be so damn cool if you played that. I know Air is mellow, but get us in the mood to dance. Stuff like "Kelly Watch the Stars" will get the crowd going, so I don't think it would be inappropriate to play some Heaven 17.

and i will be djing from doors until the opener with Air scheduled to take over in between acts…

heaven 17 is cited as a influence of air…

How 'bout Groove Jet by Spiller??? Anytime you're going for a loungy vibe, can't miss with that.

If this show was any day of the week except Wednesday, I would have went. Have fun everyone, I'm sure it'll be amazing.

well, serge gainsbourg, of course . . .

bon-eeee

Bardot is hot.

I'm disappointed that Rhett has not yet pointed out that the opener - Kate Havawhatevernik - has been featured on Gray's Anatomy six times.

You're slacking, old man.

Sorry, it's my wife, via her boss, that's in touch with the Gray's Anatomy stuff. I'll ax her about it.
