It's all gone Pete Tong

The phrase "it's all gone Pete Tong" is Cockney rhyming slang that plays off the name of superstar DJ Pete Tong. It means "it's all gone wrong."

IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a biopic based on the life of legendary DJ Frankie Wilde.

Frankie was one of Europe's most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain. Everything about Frankie's life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs. But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf. His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared. The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs.

Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him. His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then - he disappeared.

IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a hilarious insiders look at a club and rave culture most people don't get to experience. Paul Kaye, portraying Frankie Wilde, turns in an award-winning performance. Directed by breakout director Michael Dowse, the film features interviews with world-famous DJs including Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Lol Hammond and Paul Van Dyk. The movie's soundtrack is a varied collection of club, new independent and classic songs.

IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a wild and original look at an extraordinary life.

also Suge Knight, bites Kevin Connelly's finger

"The New York Daily News is reporting in their Gatecrasher column that Suge bit the finger of Entourage star Kevin Connolly the other night when the two were play wrestling at an ESPY Awards after party.

Well, I would tell Kevin Conolly, that’s what the fuck you get when you wrestle with Suge Knight. Who does that anyway? Play or not, you have to know you’re coming out of that situation with some sort of injury.

Gatecrasher also says that Suge and Paris Hilton were all buddy buddy during the party. Maybe she’s gettin blooded in. Suge did recently remark that she is alot tougher than alot of the rappers out there claiming gangsta. Paris even gave old Marion a lapdance. Wow, what I wouldn’t do for a picture of that exchange."

Tales From the Seven Seas...

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns to tell their adventures on the seas. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, hook, and an eye patch. Curious, the seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"
The pirate replies, "I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about the hook?"
"Well...," starts the pirate, "...we were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand clean off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch?"
"A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked.
"Well...," said the pirate, "...that was my first day with the hook."

Yar-har-harrrgh!

TONIGHT (FRIDAY)

OK, so a few weeks ago we announced that a midnight screening of Daft Punk's directoral debut, Electroma, would be happening on Friday, July 13. Well, the screening IS still happening but we've turned this into not just a movie screening but a full-on party as we've now added the Chicago debut of Mr. Oizo, of Ed Banger Records fame, along with the city's best and brightest DJs (see the flyer below, yo)

Doors open at 11PM with the movie starting right about the same time. Following the movie, Metro will flip on the lights and the DJ madness will begin. The event is still 18+ and will now go until 4AM.

Tickets will be available at the door for $15, which includes the movie if you arrive early, so if you're coming from the Pitchfork Festival, fear not cause we've got you covered. Seating for the movie will be limited too, so you know, it's still the old first come, first served. You can also purchase tickets in advance for $13 by visiting Smash And Crunch.

For those of you that have already purchased tickets for the movie, please be aware that you're now invited to stay for the DJs (and also know that you saved yourself a few bucks!). Also, to clarify... any and all tickets previously purchased will be accepted at the door, so don't worry about coughing up the price difference, son.

The Union Tavern

For anyone who wants to meet downtown tomorrow (friday) at the Union Tavern on Halstedt which is a few blocks off of the Belmont stop on the Red Line, let us know. You can also just take the Purple Line express and get off at Wellington which is closer. From 6-9p it is all you can drink for $10. Additionally, every 10 minutes they bring out free pizza and quesadillas. It takes less than a minute to get a drink and there is an outdoor patio. It's pretty ridiculous considering it's not shoulder to shoulder and 10 bucks to drink your face off. Let me know if you want to meet down there.

This weekend in the dirty chi

The down low

FRI. 7/13/07 (9:30pm; $3 (limited), $10)
The Empty Bottle, Struggle Inc & Turntable Lab present We (heart) Chicago featuring:
Gravy Train!!!! label: Spam, Cochon, Gimme Gravy Train, KRS
The Cool Kids label: C.A.K.E Recordings
Gutter Butter DJs label: Dooka related: Logan Bay, Ben Fasman
Join us for the first evening of the three day We (heart) Chicago festival. Curated as parties first and shows second, the event features nine bands, deejays and emcees that we've brought in specific to the event, the sorta folks that know how to rock a room…and keep it rocking, in a way Chicagoans expect and one that can only be expected of a hard-partying city like Chicago. Queercore four-piece GRAVY TRAIN!!!! ably blend old school raps with theatrical new wave, creating a highly conceptualized fusion of danceparty madness that is truly their own. They’ll be playing material from new Cochon Records release All The Sweet Stuff. Local rap duo THE COOL KIDS is up on the reals, for sure. Their tracks have been hyped by Pitchfork and URB Magazine, among many others, and their steez – old school by-way-of new indie – is fully, fully on point. Making a great party better still, GUTTERBUTTER DJs LOGAN BAY and BEN FASMAN will spin throughout. In response to IPods and MP3s, the two felt compelled to return to “two turntables, drunk cut mixing and balls-to-the-walls live blends.” They’ll be playin’ them raw gully shits, yo!


SAT. 7/14/07 (9:30pm; $3 (limited), $12)
The Empty Bottle, Struggle Inc & Turntable Lab present We (heart) Chicago featuring:
Chromeo label: Turbo, Vice
Flosstradamus label: Koko B. Ware related: Kid Sister
Vyle label: B.E.A.R., iheartcomix, Trouble and Bass related: Nacrobats
Synth pop revisionists CHROMEO compose “slick-ass lover’s funk” a sound thoroughly in evidence on their two releases, She’s In Control and Fancy Footwork. Spin has called their sound “addictive,” Alternative Press “perfect” and they’ve prompted the always-overwhelmed NME to wonder, “How can something so wrong be so right?” Hometown deejay phenoms FLOSSTRADAMUS take the night off from owning the world, to spin throughout here. The two are pure fire these days, crisscrossing the globe to bring that dance floor heat, a style that the Reader claims is such that it attracts folks that would never be caught in the “bourgeois environs of a club club.” We can’t figure a night that’ll get much hotter, no doubt.


SUN. 7/15/07 (9:30pm; $3 (limited), $10)
The Empty Bottle, Struggle Inc & Turntable Lab present We (heart) Chicago featuring:
My!Gay!Husband!
Yo! Majesty label: Out There
Mahjongg label: Cold Crush, K related: Bobby Conn, Waterbabies
‘Punkpartykid’ MY!GAY!HUSBAND! will spin throughout here, a deejay known in underground clubs the world over for his trashy mashups and mixes. M!G!H! has spun alongside all the major indies – everyone from DJ ASSUALT, HOLLERTRONIX, INTERPOL and MSTKRFT, to name but a few – and his talents have earned him invites from most of the world’s major cities. This’ll be his Empty Bottle debut. And what can we say about YO! MAJESTY? Can them shits be any, any hotter? Vice has called their sound “absolutely timeless” and “brilliant,” while Mixmag has acclaimed, “At last – punk-funk-crunk rap!” This has to be, we’re telling you, one of our most anticipated sets of the year. Notable locals MAHJONGG will open, a sprawling, free form quintet concerned with ‘fusing sensuous beats with brittle Casio keyboards tones, committing tunes to tape with lo-fi ‘techniques’ that instantly imbue them with bleeding-edge currency.” The group will be previewing material from a forthcoming K Records release.

Mental!...impairment

June 7, 2007

WILMETTE -- A Wilmette man was sentenced to nine years in prison on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to attempted murder charges for running over his ex-girlfriend with a pickup truck as she jogged on a sidewalk in Wilmette two years ago.

Gilberto Archer, 22, of the 100 block of Dupee Place, apologized for the crime shortly before he was sentenced by Cook County Circuit Judge Garritt Howard at the Skokie courthouse.

"I wish I never did it," Archer told the court. "She's a good person."

Archer was arrested shortly after he drove his pickup truck onto the sidewalk in May 2005 and hit the then-18-year-old woman victim as she jogged near her home. Prosecutors said she was knocked unconscious and got a concussion, lacerations and a broken jaw. They said Archer jumped out of his truck, punched her and punched a man who tried to intervene.

Defense attorney William Hedrick said Archer is mentally impaired as a result of childhood illnesses and asked that he be kept in a secure hospital ward for treatment while in prison.

Boeing Busts out the 787, everybody is speechless.

BOEING UNVEILS THE 787 It's called the Dreamliner

"Today is a great day in aviation history. Whenever such a milestone is reached in our industry it is always a reflection of hard work by dedicated people inspired by the wonder of flight,"






To date, Boeing has won 677 orders for the 787, selling out delivery positions through 2015,

In a rare tip of the hat to the competition, Airbus congratulated Boeing on the 787, whose commercial success has chipped away at the edge the European plane maker once held over its Chicago-based rival.
"Even if tomorrow Airbus will get back to the business of competing vigorously, today is Boeing's day -- a day to celebrate the 787," Airbus co-CEO Louis Gallois said in a letter to McNerney.

Adu and his friends beat Brazil last night

Freddy Adu is a hot-shot again. Set up both goals in a 2-1 win at U-20 WC.

And as far as the French are concerned, running is now a right-wing activity, something "self-centered individualists like Americans" like to do.
