Already got my tickets for PTM. I was wondering why they chnged the start time to be a few hours earlier recently. I don't know much about the openers besides Lucius but will be looking into them.

Jungle has been in decent spots in lineups recently. I’ve heard that they put on a great show.
Although he played smallish venues on his tour a few months ago, I believe Hobo Johnson sold out every single one.

For anyone who forgot, for this show they switched from an RSVP first-come-first-served system to a raffle system (still no guaranteed entry though). You can enter until tomorrow/Thurs. 5 PM.
IDK why they switched it to a raffle instead of a RSVP (both won't still guarantee your entrance to the venue)
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

Yup, what a shitty morning so far...no RSVP for Interpol and no tickets for Thom Yorke...let's see if my luck changes on Friday for both events... RH fans have to be the most dedicated fans in history.
Those W.A.S.T.E presales always seem impossible though it did work for me when RH played Newark in 2012.
On a happier note, The Decemberists were excellent last night in Prospect Park. The played The Crane Wife in full as a special treat.
Ah, lucky! You guys got my favorite Decemberists record. Last time I saw them, they played The Hazards of Love in full. That is...not my favorite Decemberists record.

I saw them do Hazards Of Love in full at Radio City in 2009. I don't think I've listened to that album since then haha.

Damn, I went to go sell my Cake/Ben Folds ticket that I got for free, and I saw on Flashseats tickets are selling for $1 and on Stubhub they're selling for $6. Woof, that's sad.
Robert Glasper is doing a 48 show/24 night run at the Blue Note. He's such a great keyboardist. He called Lauryn Hill out for being a diva bitch. Good for him.
Lauryn Hill‘s attitude and actions have long been the subject of some nasty rumors. She’s been known to play the diva card regularly (don’t look her in the eye; call her “Ms. Hill”), and various accounts over the years have her treating her bands and fans alike with little to no regard. She’s also come under fire for failing to properly credit the musicians that helped craft her Grammy-winning solo debut, 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Yesterday, multiple Grammy-winning pianist Robert Glasper sounded off about Hill’s negative attitude and mistreatment of the musicians with whom she works in an interview with Houston hip-hop radio show Mad Hatta Morning Show. Responding to a question about whether there were artists he had worked with that exhibited such nasty behavior, Glasper divulged, “I’ll say a name, You ready? Lauryn Hill.” When the host responded with some faux indignation—asking “Why you do Lauryn Hill like that?”—Glasper fired back in kind: “Why she do me like that?”
Explains Glasper (transcript via Madame Noire),
Robert Glasper: I did a show with Lauryn…this was 2008, I guess. It was for Montblanc Jewelry Corporation. She’s getting half a million dollars for this show. It’s a 20-minute show. My friend was the MD (musical director). He said ‘Rob, we’re doing a show in LA. You want to do this show?’ Mind you, two years prior she had been calling me trying to get me to come to her house to audition. I’m already a signed artist. I’m traveling the world doing my own thing. I don’t do auditions. So I was like ‘Sorry, I don’t do auditions. If you want me, you can listen to my album.’
She was calling me talking about ‘Can you play for me over the phone?’ No I’m not doing that. I’m like, ‘No but I do have albums out. Number one Jazz albums on the charts. If you like, you can check those out. I’m not auditioning. I’m not.
So then my boy’s like, ‘Yo Lauryn has a show in New York, do you want to play?’ So I said, ‘What’s the deal?’ He’s like, ‘We’re rehearsing for one week for a 20-minute show.’ So we rehearse a whole week, like 10 hours a day. Every day she comes in and changes the show, changes what she wants to do. Completely.
The last rehearsal, she doesn’t show up. Her manager comes in and says, ‘Lauryn’s not really feeling the way you guys have been learning the music so we’re going to cut your pay in half. The last rehearsal. The day before the show. First of all, we weren’t getting paid that much anyway but understand she’s getting half a million dollars. So seriously? You’re going to take these five musicians and cut their pay in half.
Host: Do you feel like y’all were messing up though?
Robert Glasper: Not at all. It was a superband. She has a thing of—she likes to fire bands. I can name you—I can rattle off 15 guys off the top of my head. She will go on tour with a band and in the city that they’re doing a show, she’ll hold auditions for her band. One of my boys flew to Japan to do shows in Japan. While she’s in Japan, she’s holding auditions in the hotel, in the ballroom for her band. That’s super gangsta! And nothing’s wrong. The bands are good. She gets the best musicians. She just has a thing.
Anyway, the last rehearsal they go around to everybody, basically like ‘If you’re not cool, you can leave.’ I didn’t need that gig. I’m making money of my own. I have my own career at that time. I was eating a beef patty, I’ll never forget it. And I said, ‘When I finish my beef patty, I’m going home so y’all can do what y’all need to do.’
But look, I’m the principle piano player. I know they need me. The gig’s tomorrow. So I’m like, I’m going home. I walk out. The manager runs— first of all, before she even came in, the MD, my friend said, ‘Just so you know, don’t look her in the eye and you have to call her Ms. Hill.
Host: So those rumors be true?
Robert Glasper: That’s 100 percent true. … One of the days at rehearsal, she said, ‘Robert, I need you to…’ and I said, ‘Ok Lauryn.’ Respect, I respect. You can’t come into a situation especially when you’ve already stolen all of my friends’ music. Miseducation was made by great musicians and producers that I know, personally. So you got a big hand off of music that you didn’t even write. You feel me though?
Host: Robert, you know she gon’ hear this?
Robert Glasper: 100 percent. I’m ready. I don’t care because nothing I’m saying is a lie. Point to me where the lie is, then we can have a conversation. But if she looks at it, it’s 100 percent true— that’s why they got their money.
Host: That’s why she rearranges the music on the tour, right?
Robert Glasper: Yes! All kinds of stuff. I went into it knowing, ‘Okay, you steal music.’
Host: Who steals music?
Robert Glasper: Lauryn Hill. I’ve met Stevie Wonder and hung out with Stevie Wonder. I’ve met Quincy Jones and hung out with Quincy Jones. I’ve met Herbie Hancock, hung out with Herbie Hancock. If those three people can be cool, Lauryn Hill should be able to be cool. You haven’t done enough to be the way you are. The one thing you did that was great, you didn’t do… I’m out here.
She took the credit for making the classic album. Those songs were written by other people and they did not get their credit. She likes to take credit so she can become this super person. If you’re a super person and you’re that talented…
Host: …Do it again.
Robert Glasper: Do it! You feel me? … So anyway I leave rehearsal, I’m eating my beef patty, they run after me to the middle of the street. And they said, ‘What can we do?’ I said ‘ Before 4 o’clock you can wire all of my money into my account because now I don’t trust y’all. So if you want me to do this gig, you need to wire my money into my account within 30 minutes. That’s what you can do.’ So I waited. They wired the money into my account and then I went home. I didn’t do the other rehearsal because they already disrespected to me. But I came back for the show the next day.
Host: How did the show go?
Robert Glasper: It was great. It was 20 minutes. … But I will say this, there was one joyous moment that week. There’s a song called “Doo Wop.” So one day, she was just being a real…you know. So instead of doing “Doo Wop,” I went [opening chords for “Joyful, Joyful.”] She looked at me and sang a verse and a chorus of “Joyful, Joyful.” And then she looked at me and said, ‘Okay back to the…’ So for a minute and a half, we got the Lauryn…she normalized and became—so it’s in there. I really feel like she’s in there.
Something happened. People can change. I’m not sh*tting on her forever. But that’s the stuff that really happened and you’re going to have to take accountability for it at some point and then you’re good. … People can change. I hope she does change. She disrespected a lot of people. A lot of people. A lot of musicians with families.

Chance the Rapper at the Coney Island Ampitheater is small for him right?
Yeah. I was expecting insane prices, but the whole venue is priced at $69.50.
Similar to the Thom Yorke show this probably should be priced a bit higher to discourage scalping but will be beneficial for those who manage to get a ticket.

He's such a cool dude
"I've seen what that does to the audience, playing that groove. I love making the audience feel that way. Getting back to women: women love that. They don't love a whole lot of soloing. When you hit that one groove and stay there, it's like musical clitoris. You're there, you stay on that groove, and the women's eyes close and they start to sway, going into a trance."

Everyone fare better today for Thom Yorke tickets?
Yeah, two snagged for 11/27, front row of the mezzanine on the stage right side (Section 11). I was hoping for orchestra but, given that I had 3 devices going and only one got through before the show was sold out of twofers, I'll take it.

Pretty good acts on there. It'll be a lot of tech house with some forays into techno.
