Some gRR RReat support bands too: BEIRUT!! (Calexico) A Hawk and a Hacksaw (Calexico) ST VINCENT!! (Sufjan) Dr. Dog (Tapes) Fionn Regan (Midlake) The Thermals are coming too. I've to listen to them. And Brakes, supported by Tiny Dancers. I've a feeling the Flaming Lips support will be brilliant.. they've a good history, so if it's up to them to pick, you can set your reliance down.

Yeah, Beirut are brilliant. Don't think i'd be going to Calexico if they weren't playing. Deserve a gig in their own right.

I was talking to their manager and mentioned that I didn't know which show to go to.. he thought it was a pretty awful clash too, cos most of their fans would probably like Tapes too.. so he got them to support TnT instead. I'm sure there're still tickets though.. almost the same price.

Still no sign of gigs over here by a number of acts that have been touring recently. I'm thinking along the lines of: - Cat Power - Mountain Goats - SIlver Jews - Magnolia Electric Co. - Jay Bennett - Headphones - The Format - Chin Up Chin Up - Heartless Bastards - Jens Lekman - Venice Is Sinking But then again, it is a cracking list of gigs to choose from.

Agreed-this is an unbelievable run of gigs. And then sitting nicely on the horizon-the Decemberists. But agreed with Gar-just waiting on the Silver Jews and jens Lekman-and I can die a happy man.......

Ya hit some artists i'd love to see there Gar. Particularly Silver Jews (one of my all time favourites), Mountain Goats (Darnielle has got some good live footage up on YouTube but no substitute for the real thing) and Califone. Still, we are spoiled i suppose.

Gar, that man has commentated on ten olympics, nine world cups and every other sports event in the history of man.... he knows EVERYTHING......if jimmy misses a game, he wont be able to tell you the score, but he could tell you the time the players got up this morning and what speed the team buses travelled at on the way to the game..... this is a dreadful thing to say but i cant resist,what would happen if the silver jews and beirut were on the same bill?

Someone from Indymedia would show up and would spontaneously combust at the sheer excitement of it all. Then blame the silver jews for war atrocities.

Yes,I agree. Magee is 94 years old, has the equivalent of 27 libraries of sporting knowledge in his brain and is an absolute gentleman to boot. Having a pop at Jimmy sees Cluas sink to a new low.
