Deerhoof @ Bowery Ballroom & the Byrne-Bowie-Reed factor
What if, in addition to showing up, David Bowie, David Byrne and/or Lou Reed actually joined in and played? And what about Sufjan? Those are the questions I asked myself after reading the below excerpt from Nick Sylvester's Deerhoof review....
Hey, since Bowie got a mention for getting snubbed at the Arctic Monkeys show, this seems a good time to unveil a heretofore secret blogger cheatsheet used to determine how great a concert must have based on which celebrity rockers were in attendance. Don't tell the other blogs I told you this:
When David Bowie shows up: pretty awesome
David Bowie + David Byrne: still pretty awesome
David Bowie + David Byrne + Lou Reed: you are at the Donnas
Lou Reed: backstage at the Donnas
The rest of Nick Sylvester's Deerhoof Bowery Ballroom show review at the Village Voice.

washed up rockers in cred-grab appearance shock

Who's washed up? Arctic Monkeys could be "washed up" and in need of "cred" tomorrow. These rockers you speak of have had long, successful careers.
Something that will probably never be said about you, anonymous poster ;)
