Like his recent show at Irving Plaza, Talib Kweli's appearance at Restoration Rocks today didn't happen. You can kind of get the idea why from his tweets pictured above. He did however, as the tweets say, perform at Occupy Wall Street, and plans to still be at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 10/22.

No one can get anything done right in the ghetto. The whole show was a disorganized thug mess.

I'm fairly certain that this is due to the fact that Jeff Mangum has only released two full albums with a '90s band he used to be in, NMH, and now he's pulling a FOMFPMIFAIWWNNM. Oh, what's that you ask?

Kweli is completely on point here, the sound was the worst I've seen in years. You could be next to the speaker and it still sounded like shit. People literally have systems in their cars better than what was at Restoration Rocks.
