collaborated with Brian Eno to create the ambient genre and produce several albums for U2, including The Joshua Tree (1987) and Achtung Baby (1991). Three albums produced or co-produced by Lanois have won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

I reckon there's some famous names in his phone.

Yeah, I bet. He's done 6 U2 albums* apparently, how many did they record?

*to his credit he did not produce Zooropa.

Went to a local gig/fundraiser this weekend honoring a friend and local musician who died of pancreatic cancer (50) and it was really nice. Not saying it was anywhere near the level of best show I've ever seen, but around 30 musicians who knew him played together songs they've performed with him or songs he really enjoyed and it was a special time to sit and listen to some music.

Here he is playing with Daniel Lanois, who I'm not familiar with but is apparently somewhat famous*. I am familiar with the Blades (at least Brian is playing drums here but maybe that's Brady as well). My friend also toured for a while with some guy named Dave Matthews. But mainly he liked to play local gigs with his friends. (And he was really good at playing the bass).

*apparently he produced multiple albums by U2, Dylan, and Peter Gabriel among many others. He also writes and performs music on occasion.

Produced 2 of the best sounding albums of all time in 'So' and 'Us' by Peter Gabriel

Yep he's a pretty big deal!

Off to Dublin next month to see Limp Bizkit. My best mate was mad for them first time round, so got the tickets as a Chrimbo pressie. Other than that, the only gig currently in the books is The Get Up Kids in Camden in June.

Please make sure you record Behind Blue Eyes if they play it.

Remember what we were upto a year ago mate? Maybe this will remind you and hopefully we get to see this ,masterpiece again in October. The musicianship from 10.30 onwards is as good as you'll hear.

Interesting read. Reminds me of this random festival that took place a few years later up the road

Saw Limp Bizkit at the 3Arena in Dublin on Tuesday night.

Was a mad one; it was packaged as some kind of one-day festival sort of affair, but with the same sort of timeframe as a standalone gig, so there were 3 support acts (one of whom - N8noface - was possibly the worst live act I've ever seen) and then another act who was billed as support but then just did a 2-min song to intro LB and that was his lot.

LB themselves were good enough (the tickets were a pressie for my best mate who was LB mad when we were younger, I was always able to take or leave them) but didn't play a few bangers which left me disliking the format even more because if they'd just binned the crap support they'd have had an extra hour to play with.

Get Up Kids in London in June is next up, followed by Hilltop Hoods in Manchester in August.
