Dave Matthews Band jams in memory of saxman LeRoi Moore

The Dave Matthews Band does one thing well. It jams.


So on Tuesday, just hours after scholarship that its saxophone histrion, LeRoi Moore, had died, the band jammed on. At a nearly three-hour show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the quaternion played tribute to its lost member.


�We got some bad news today,� Matthews told a muted crowd, according to a review in the Orange Country Register. �(He) gave up his ghost today and we will miss him forever and a day . . . We�re gonna raise our spirits up a small bit.�




Then the band launched into the intimate, fan-favorite �Proudest Monkey.� Later came �Satellite,� �Ants Marching,� Peter Gabriel�s �Sledgehammer,� the Talking Heads� �Burning Down the House� and a twelve more emotionally charged tunes.


A founding member of the band, Moore, 46, died Tuesday at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center from sudden complications stemming from injuries he free burning in an all-terrain-vehicle break up on his farm away Charlottesville, Va., in June. Moore was hospitalized afterward the accident, but of late returned to his Los Angeles home to begin rehabilitation. After taking an unexpected call on for the worse, he was hospitalized on July 17.


Online fan forums take been buzzing with sad but warm remembrances of the sporty reedman, world Health Organization was notable for wear dark sunglasses at the band�s shows. Many message-board posters have speculated that Moore�s dying will lead to the end of the band - Moore often helped arrange Matthews� tunes and was an integral piece of the group�s pop-jazz-world-beat blend - but there�s little evidence DMB will be breakage up.


Jeff Coffin, best known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, is continuing to fill in for Moore, and no dates on the current tour give birth been canceled. The tour of duty continued Wednesday night at the Staples Center and is scheduled to ending Oct. 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Diddy Goes After MTV News� James Montgomery On �FNMTV� � Why?


Published by James Montgomery on Friday, August 8, 2008 at 8:50 pm.

So by now you�ve in all likelihood seen my terrifying row with Diddy on �FNMTV.� Watching it back, it�s even more than amazing now � especially since, when it happened, it was such a blur.


If you have no idea what I�m talking about, basically, on this week�s �FN,� Diddy showed up with his newest prot�g� a smooth R&B crooner by the nominate of Donnie Klang. Diddy and Donnie then premiered their raw video, �Take You There,� which is full of models and bottles of vodka, which means it is a lot like other Bad Boy videos released all over the past year. Two Bad Boy videos � from Day26 and Danity Kane � had premiered on premature episodes of the demo, and I had been rather rough to both of them.


Apparently, Diddy watches the show.



Before we started taping, it seemed like he was rank at me backstage, only I figured he was just deep in thought or something, so I ignored it � certainly, Diddy had no thought who I was. But when it came time for the panel � of which Tim Kash and I are members, along with a edgar Guest (Jordin Sparks this week) � to talk around D&D�s new video, Diddy bum-rushed the stage, leaned on my shoulder and stared daggers at me until it came time for me to return my finding of fact on the clip. (I believe this is called �intimidation.�)


Of course of instruction, I said that patch the kids liked the video, I didn�t take in much of anything in it that would separate Donnie from the force field of light-hued R&B guys out in that location, at which point Diddy lost his sh�, shouting, �Who the f� are you?!?! How many hit records do you have?!?!?!� at me (OK, he does have a point there), then stomping around the panel. I sort of looked on in amazement while he continued to rant, stopping only to grab my head and plant a big smashed kiss on my cheek. The audience cheered like crazy � and then Diddy was gone, off into the Los Angeles night.


In the aftermath, people have been e-mailing me questions like �What does Diddy flavor like??!?!� or �Were you scared he was going to beat you with a phone or a champagne bottle?!?!� And my answers ar this: Diddy smells like lotion and rich mahogany; and no, I wasn�t scared, mainly because I didn�t think even he�d be gaga enough to pound on me while cameras rolled and D kids looked on.


Actually, I think he was more �TV mad� (i.e. �acting�) than he was actually upset. And he did kiss me, which was sort of nice.


So I gauge Diddy and I are good. At least I hope we are. At the very least, we made TV magic together � and that�s got to look for something.

Boy George: Karma Sanitation!

Two years after sweeping the streets of NYC as part of his court-mandated community service, 80s pop singer Boy George is returning to the Big Apple to perform a free concert for his former co-workers.

George will sing some of his hits at the NYC Department of Sanitation's Family Day on August 17.

''The people I worked alongside showed great kindness to me at a very difficult time, and I wanted to thank them all in a way that would show my appreciation,'' he said.

Michael A. Bimonte, a first deputy commissioner with the department, said, ''Keeping New York City safe and clean is a daunting challenge -- as Boy George well knows -- and we welcome his generous offer to entertain those who have made our city the cleanest it has been in more than 30 years.''

The British singer, who turns 47 on Saturday, was ordered to work for the department after pleading guilty to falsely reporting a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment. The police officers who responded there found cocaine.

As a result, he took to the streets of Manhattan as a sanitation worker wearing an orange vest, dark capri pants, and shoes without socks.

Boy George, born George O'Dowd, is best known for his genre-bending stint in the group Culture Club, which charted hits including ''Karma Chameleon'' and ''Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.''

He is launching a North American tour in Aspen on July 10.

E2-E4

   Year: 2003   
Tracks: 1




Both as a instauration member of the Krautrock chemical group Ash Ra Tempel and through and through his later on solo work, Manuel Göttsching was among the true innovators of the musical esthetic after dubbed electronica, with his 1984 press release E2-E4 unexpended a originative edifice block in the subsequent growing of styles ranging from techno to house to contemporaneous ambient medicine. Born in 1952 and raised in West Berlin, Göttsching gave up his classical euphony training at the age of 14 to begin performing with a variety show of local groups, eventually turning to electronics and improvisational techniques. In 1970 he formed Ash Ra Tempel with ex-Tangerine Dream drummer Klaus Schulze and classmate Harmut Enke; the chemical group was quickly signed by the Berlin-based OHR label, issuance their self-titled debut LP the following year.


As electronics began fashioning a bigger and larger shock on the German medicine scene, Ash Ra Tempel emerged at the vanguard of the new engineering, acquiring modern equipment with apparently each qualifying operation; after 1972's Schwingungen, the group even played live in Switzerland with Dr. Timothy Leary, a quislingism which yielded 1973's Seven Up. By the following year both Schulze and Enke had left the grouping, however, with Göttsching forging ahead as a solo creative person now working just as Ashra; around this same time he issued Inventions for Electric Guitar, a groundbreaking soundscape which greatly furthered his experiments with electronics. Subsequent releases including 1977's Modern Age of Earth continued his guitar manipulations; during the middle of the decennium, he likewise played in the group the Cosmic Jokers.


Göttsching and Schulze reteamed in late 1981 for an improvisational tour; at the remainder of their run they agreed to shortly addict up once more to look in Hamburg. The day ahead he left wing Göttsching saturday down in his studio to create a piece of medicine to heed to on the airplane; the end outcome was a 58-minute experimental piece dubbed E2-E4, a collage of treated guitar lines, icily atmospherical synths, and forefront beat generation. Never intending for the rails to meet the light-colored of day, he did not event it until 1984, the first of his albums to look under his have name. E2-E4 presently became a major favorite on the tube club circuit, where it was regularly spun in sets featuring New Order and early key innovators of the moment despite its creator's admission that it was never created with dance audiences in head.


In 1989 Göttsching was contacted by a group of Italian DJs wish to release a remix of E2-E4; he in agreement, even traveling to Italy to play guitar on the data track. Retitled due to licensing restrictions, it appeared as an eponymous release credited to Sueño Latino, going on to become a world club smash which eventually topped the U.K. terpsichore charts. Ironically, it sold more copies than all of Göttsching's previous recordings combined. That like class, he also resurrected the Ashra name to release the LP Walkin' the Desert, his get-go assembling of new music in some prison term. In the days to follow, Göttsching continued working on new Ashra material, too taking on a mixture of away projects like composition music for fashion shows. E2-E4 also remained an electronica touchstone, sampled by artists including Junior Vasquez and Carl Craig. In 2007, Universal released the CD/DVD Live at Mt. Fuji.
