[edit] Photo caption

can someone put alternative text for the avalanches photo please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.13.83 (talk • contribs)

Like what? Cnwb 23:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm guessing he wanted names for the people in the photo... I'm unable to do this, if someone can, that'd be good. --Itamae 16:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] When I Met You

i downloaded an Avalanches album titled "When I Met You". it's not listed on their discography here. any ideas? --69.250.163.144 23:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

It is a bootleg release of their "Gimix" mix (which was only a promotional release), so is not part of their official discography. --James 03:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

What's wrong with the image? Andrewhime 18:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 900 samples

Where did they get this number? It seems impossible, considering how many 1/4 second samples of bells and snare drums and drops of water there are on the album.

[edit] Major Update

I have included many historical facts that were missing. I have referenced wherever possible (previously there were none.) I will continue to tweak as i spot errors... In the future I would like to 1) update the picture, 2)separate the discography 3)convert to wiki footnote format. Eygenraam 07:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Avalanches.jpg

Image:The Avalanches.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Since I Left You section

The "Since I Left You" section is very confusing. Is it a time line leading to release of the album? It is formatted as a bunch of individual sentences, which may mean it was written/constructed piecemeal. Can someone who knows the story sort it out and make some thing more coherent? --GargoyleMT 02:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] letitsnow080808.com

There is a note in the section about the second album mentioning a rumour related to this domain name. While the name probably was registered when the comment was added (I remember doing whois on it a month back), it does not seem to be registered any more.

Googling for it just brings up pages which repeat the rumour almost word for word without anything more concrete. If we can't find a source, it should probably be removed. --James 13:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

The domain name still isn't registered.
Recommend removal. --64.65.86.187 (talk) 15:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
