PICK OF THE WEEK: “The Solutionists” @ Spaceland
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jazz Jury, before you reach your verdict ask yourself these questions. Who the hell are “The Solutionists”? And why are online tickets sold out for their Wednesday Spaceland show? And why is their name listed in quotes on the Spaceland calendar?
Consider these facts:
1) Perry Farrell’s new band, Satellite Party, claims to tell a story through a collaborative brain trust of artists, musicians and environmentalists called “The Solutionists”, who seek to redesign and come up with solutions for the world.
2) Satellite Party collaborators include Flea, New Order/Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, Thievery Corporation, Black Eyed Pea’s Fergie, and the ghost of Jim Morrison.
3) Based on these facts there should be no doubt that “The Solutionists” is in fact Satellite Party.
Your honor, the defense rests.

[...] Click this link which will direct you to our friends at Losanjealous DOT com where you can read sweet, arousing, titillating totally possibly just rumors-rumors about this year’s Coachella lineup, posted as a comment in this post. Saaaaaahhhhwhhhhhheeeeerrt. Will I be there? Is Saddam Hussein playing pinocle with Pinochet? [...]
For chrissakes, Perry. Collaborating with Fergie? Really? How many more shitty post-Jane’s projects can you take on? You are in danger of wiping out any remaining memory of the 5 decent songs Jane’s had.
The real question is WHICH Comedians of Comedy. And why is Ghostface Killah listed separate from them.
The Jesus and Mary Chain are reuniting for Coachella, too.
Melt-Banana at the Troubadour Friday 5/18. On sale tomorrow at 10am. Last time I saw them there it was fun. That is, if you think SARS masks, distorted slide guitar, early-90s blastbeats and anime vocals are fun.
The Shins @ The Troubadour 1/25 @ Noon “FREE”
Frank how did you find out about the Shins? I can’t find anything anywhere! You sure about this?
Jay, its on the Shins website listed as KROQ’s “New Roq” Matinee.
Did anyone see The Solutionists last night @ Spaceland? Any special guest other than Perry?
- Albert Hammond Jr @ The El Rey 3/6/07 (For those not seeing him @ the Troub. or The Wiltern.
- Weird Science (Dj Steve Aoki & Blake Miller of M

I’ll try latter, gotta get back to work!
Can someone near the Troub get on the WiFi and let us know what the scene looks like for Shins down there? Is there any chance of rolling up right at 12:00 and getting in? Or were there already a bunch of kids down there who slept overnight on the sidewalk for this thing?
listen to kroq, they are live from the troub. as of 10am there is still room
The Bravery are playing the Troubadour on March 21st. No word yet on the on sale date. Props to Frank for finding all those dates too. I see poster of the month in your future buddy.
