Clipse @ Bowery & BB Kings on sale | Camera Obscura @ Warsaw not
DOWNLOAD: Camera Obscura podcast (MP3)
Despite putting out the third most critically acclaimed album of 2006, hip hop's Clipse still haven't sold out their Wednesday night show at Bowery Ballroom in NYC, and now tickets are ALSO on sale for a Clipse show at BB King's in NYC on April 26th - it's part of the previously announced Seagram's Gin tour.
Tickets are NOT on sale for Wednesday night's NYC concert alternative - twee pop's Camera Obscura @ Warsaw. It is sold out.
“We’re quite excited,” pianist/organist/vocalist Carey Lander told GO Brooklyn, adding that after three previous shows in New York City, this is the band’s first in Brooklyn. “[We wanted to] do something different so we weren’t playing the same venues again.”Of course Camera Obscura tickets were only $15.50 - Clipse are $25.00.
The image above is a solar eclipse as observed with a camera obscura (or something like that).
The Camera Obscura (Latin for Dark room) was a dark box or room with a hole in one end. If the hole was small enough, an inverted image would be seen on the opposite wall. Such a principle was known by thinkers as early as Aristotle (c. 300 BC). It is said that Roger Bacon invented the camera obscura just before the year 1300, but this has never been accepted by scholars; more plausible is the claim that he used one to observe solar eclipses. In fact, the Arabian scholar Hassan ibn Hassan (also known as Ibn al Haitam), in the 10th century, described what can be called a camera obscura in his writings; manuscripts of his observations are to be found in the India Office Library in London.True Story

If you knew anything about New York City RT before you moved here from North Carolina, you would know that Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan Island make up the place you call New York City. They are boroughs of New York City, Mayor Bloomie is the Mayor of all 5 of those boroughs.

I was debating whether to get tickets for the Camera Obscura show cos even though I can't stop playing their latest album, their live show seems to be lacking based on youtube clips and a bootleg I found. I didn't want to go to another show where I stood there thinking I'd prefer chilling at home listeing to their cd. Also, a band loses a bit of their magic when they disappoint live.
But now that the show's sold out, I started thinking I probably should've just gone regardless. Has anyone seen them, and what did you think?

The show was awesome live. I was actually a bit trepidatious as well, but they sounded terrific. The only downsides is that the sound at the Warsaw isn't great and the crowd was kind of shitty.
