People who know about these things most likely already know this, but for those who don’t follow obscure music blogs: Saturday’s Concert (2:00 PM, Low plaza) will be headlined by none other than Clipse, just back from a European tour and off the next day to the west coast. Not Kanye–or even Ghostface–but really, who is?
P.S. (update 11:05 AM): Opening for Clipse will be Columbia grads Vampire Weekend, those up-and-comers who’ve been getting press all over the place (even though we got to ’em first).

@lolz to that comment about Reni Laine
@sal paradise not only hold steady, but spinto band opened. yo la tengo two years ago.
they might be giants are coming in october though.
@haha ba-zing
@tonight there are two non hip hop performances tonight at ellis island. seems like not many people know there is actually a concert there.
@That's because... the only people going to said show are the International students.
Also, one of those performers is Reni Laine, so I don’t think that counts.
@question when was the last non-hip-hop performance?
@reference desk last year. fall. the hold steady.
@also reference desk and wbar puts on shows with a fantastic mix of artists regularly, for cheap ($3 for CU/BC to see acts like fujiya & miyagi). so there are plenty of great non-hip-hop shows all the time.
it’s actually refreshing to get a big hip-hop show once a semester or so.
@Anonymous Clipse is fire. Ye is a lot of hype – though he did perform nicely here.
@goddamnit I REALLY FUCKING HATE BEING FUCKING CENSORED FOR THIS, CONGRATULATIONS YOU GODDAMN HYPOCRITICAL LIBERALS, CENSORING COMMENTS. Wahh wahh wahh wahh, somebody’s feelings might get hurt. ooooh!
@These posters are the same ones who have been posting all of the offensive comments lately. FYI.
@clipse? but I thought the lunar eclipse was a few days ago…
@please clipse are much better than ghostface these days. and their lyrics are also much better than kanye’s.
@sweet! what? you’re tripping if you don’t think clipse make better hip-hop than kanye or ghostface right now.
@right on agreed! clipse (and the We Got It for Cheap mixtape series) is some of the best hip hop out right now. Though their new album is kind of eh, I couldn’t be more excited.
@RZA both Kanye and Ghostface came for the larger spring concerts, not the NSOP show.
I’m pumped.
also, wtf is up with shoshana?
