Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

WSP ain't that big. Methinks fans should show up the night before.

Esp. since I think this is going to be one of those no so secret secret concerts. I think it's going to be a filmed event, a la "Where the streets have no name." I mean, if I heard about it...

I bet it's in the major press before it happens.

WSP is pretty big -- as I recall, it's where NYU holds its commencements. But the students will all still be in town, and have an easy time blowing off pre-break classes to hang out and wait for the show if the weather holds.

Last I heard, the cops were kicking people out of the park after like 2am, but even if they're not, it's still post-cleanup not a place I'd stay overnight.

U2 "secret" show is not at Washington Square Park.

From U2log:

At the conclusion of the listening party, a member of U2’s management team pulled us aside and asked us to tell everyone that we know (that’s you!) to be at Empire Fulton Ferry State Park at 3 pm tomorrow (Nov. 22) for a concert by U2.

I need a music review...would I like "Keep it Like a Secret" by Built to Spill?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Why, oh why, do I not live in New York City??? ::weeps::

I turned off SNL too early the other night, and missed the third performance. Thanks to the glory of the internet, however, I saw it. Amy Poehler, I feel your tears of joy.

And my, but Bono looked good.

Last night I went to a listening party sponsored by the @U2 fan site. Good time, but we were seated in a part of the bar where we couldn't hear the CD very well. Which, actually, is fine with me, as I want my first listen to be loud, private, and with headphones.

In other news, I have named my iPod "Bono Box," and it's a thing of sheer beauty and joy.

From my friend Ted:

I'm at my desk like any other day, and I hear a band outside. It's not uncommon--bands play on the quad at Columbia all the time--thought the timing seemed a little off. I thought I recognized the beat--but I didn't know the song. Then I looked outside. I put the beat with the image--"that's U2!!!!" I sprinted down the stairs and into the street. They were filming a new video for their how to dismantle an atomic bomb. The band was on a tractor trailer driving down Broadway. I ran with the them (and throngs of other fans, happy-struck by their good fortune) from 116th St. to 110th.

He took some pictures, too. If he says it's okay then I'll link to them.

Good god, that's awesome. I would type exclamation points with ones interspersed, if I didn't fear giving away my cool exterior.

Oh, fuck it.

OMG that is so cool!!!!!111!!!!!1 I am filled with the jealous!
