Hahaa! That's clever. I wonder why the NYHS employee I spoke with 20 mins ago didn't mention that? Strange. I'm sure you're right, though. Way to be on top of things. Tool.

Roseland better not get cancelled, or I'll never spend Labor Day in Iceland again.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:29 PM

Snowden will be playing new songs tonight.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:31 PM

anybody go to primus last night? do you know what time they went on?

Primus went on around 920pm. Played until 1030 and had about 1/2 hour intermission. Then played from 11pm until about 1230ish.

Great show!

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:39 PM

Tonight's the only night I had tickets for. Very sad :(

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:41 PM

LOL people still waste money on Primus
Y'all qualify for the Special Olympics too, right?

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:42 PM

^ Wait, don't tell me..... you're a big Atlas Sound/Lana del Rey (or whoeverthefuck) fan.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:46 PM

Man i hope Action Bronson throws another ounce of weed in the crowd like he did at Highline...

"LOL people still waste money on Primus"

very serious question- What bands to you listen to?

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:49 PM

What bands ^do you listen to?

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:49 PM

2:13 looks like a complete ass.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:52 PM

So she's sick? Same reaction most of us got when we saw what tickets were going for.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:54 PM

"anybody go to Primus last night?" Yes I did... oh wait, no. I'm not a 16 year old virgin wearing a pink floyd henley in 1991. I guess I didn't go.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 2:57 PM

Funny how Lana Del Ray's tour got postponed so they could try to get her to actually sing well.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:01 PM

What's my best free show option for tonight?

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:06 PM

"So she's sick? Same reaction most of us got when we saw what tickets were going for."

$90 to see her in a tiny venue made you sick? What did you expect to pay, f--kface? Clueless a-hole!

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:08 PM

Man, many bands are >>>> than Primus

Hell, Van Halen (the one with Wolfie) is >>> Primus.

Cats screeching in the alley >>> Primus

Marc Ribot >>>> Primus

Come to think of it, going to sleep early on a weeknight >>> Primus

I'm not obliged to qualify your piece of shit comment with a serious response. When you get out of High School you will understand why.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:17 PM

Primus was awful. People walked out halfway through their set.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:35 PM

Snowden has been playing the same set for the past 6 years.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 3:48 PM

Bob Mould!!!

So sorry to anyone who at Bjork tix for tonight. I hope she reschedules her show for you.

Posted by Dan | February 9, 2012 3:50 PM

Do yourself a favor, and go see Afuche. Fucking incredible, man.

"I'm not obliged to qualify your piece of shit comment with a serious response. When you get out of High School you will understand why."

(1st) 2:49, why am I not surprised that 2:42(aka 3:17) wouldn't give a real answer to this question?

Know why? It's because they hide behind a veil of someone commenting on the bands that 2:42(3:17) likes. You know, slag a band, but don't ever reveal who you like because you know that people will rip on your bands tenfold. Coward indeed.

BTW, Primus sucks!

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 4:27 PM

3:08- I am ASTOUNDED at how easy it was to bait someone into responding to that. And small room or not, the prices were ridiculous, especially considering the number of shows on sale. And what's with the censored obscenities? Are you typing from a communal computer in a Pentecostal church?

I appreciate BV showing a blurry pic of Tune-Hole. No reason for other people to get sick - like Bjork, - from seeing the smelly bitch's face

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 4:57 PM

Tune Yards (I'm not playing the capitalization game) have become the undisputed patron saint of talentless musician/writer/creative types who learned how to use GarageBand.

Who's worse, Tune Yards or Bon Iver? There's probably no right answer since both are as bad as music can get. What's wrong with this generation?

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 5:00 PM

2:13 here,

my bad, 2:06. i honestly thought you were busting balls, b/c i literally had spoken to someone at the museum 15-20 mins before your post and she made no mention of the cancellation. good on ya for spreading the word. sucks to be me/us. peace

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 5:12 PM

5:12- you appear to be far too mature to post here.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 5:17 PM

Bon Iver has never made a good record.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 5:17 PM

I just want to reiterate how fucking pissed I am that they cancelled the Bjork show tonight. Thanks.

Posted by Anonymous | February 9, 2012 5:31 PM
