  • Mark Ronson and his live ensemble of musicians will handle house band duties at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas on September 9th. The Dap-Kings (also known as Sharon Jones’ and Amy Winehouse’s band) will guest, along with Stu Zender of Jamiroquai and other still-to-be-announced vocalists.
  • LCD Soundsystem and the Arcade Fire will release a split 7″ single on their upcoming joint tour featuring LCD’s cover of Joy Division’s “No Love Lost” and Arcade Fire’s version of Serge Gainsbourg’s “Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son”
  • Wilco canceled two dates after guitarist Nels Cline came down with the chicken pox. The Duluth, MN, date has been rescheduled for September 4, but the band has yet to announce a new date for Winnipeg, MB.

You spelled Jamiroquai fine. I was talking about the word together.

They’re simply not worth taking time out of my life to figure out how to spend their name correctly

Yes, Jamiroquai are still together (check your spelling). You don’t have to care because millions of fans already do. Now, have a good weekend.

I didn’t know Jamiroquai were still togother. Now that I know, I would have to say that I don’t give a shit.

Thanks, I see you guys made the correction. It wouldnt have been bad if there wasnt a Maplewood IN that is outside of Indianapolis, which made perfect sense…..

“Jamiroquai’s ex-bassist Stuart Zender” would have been better!

Jason | 8/14/2007, 12:20 pm EST

Okay, you guys need to spell check because I just bought tickets to the Maplewood show because it said IN turns out its MN……THANKS guys….In other news, if anybody wants two tickets to the Flaming Lips in Maplewood MINNESOTA, let me know…..I have two…..damn rolling stone misprint.

Erica, You might want to fact check a bit. Stuart Zender hasn’t been a part of Jamiroquai in almost 10 years.
