| rantnrave:// Reports that we've lost another musical legend. PHIFE DAWG of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST... Someone -- and not just NEW YORK's attorney general -- needs to disrupt the concert ticket business, stat. I would love to see one or more major artists step forward with a pledge to put every ticket in any given venue on sale at the same time. Playing a 15,000 seat venue? Put 15,000 seats on sale on THURSDAY morning. Playing a 3,300 seat venue? Put 3,300 tickets on sale. Which I guarantee you is not what happened here. Or at any of the examples here. Ticket resellers obviously need some disrupting, too, but let's start with artists and promoters, since that's where the tickets themselves start. (First person who says tickets are priced too low has to go to the corner and stay there until he or she comes up with a pair of ADELE tickets at list price.)... According to HANSON, you are syncopating the chorus of "MMMBOP" incorrectly. You, for example. Consider yourself warned. This is way more than you will ever need to know about "MMMBOP," which is to say, this is awesome... NARDWUAR vs. DJ KHALED is peak NARDWUAR... Someone analyzed the keys of the top 100 songs in BILLBOARD in 2015. It was a very good year for C-sharp major and A-flat major. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |

| Techno is a thread in Europe that can bring people together, and be a lingua franca. That phenomenon can earn detractors and champions alike; the common currency threatens to devolve into sameness. But one thing I've found looking beyond centers like Berlin: there's extraordinary talent on the horizon, answering to the beacon capital techno cities. | | |
