You have no choice to admire the chutzpah of someone who'd hop on Stubhub and offer $1,500-a-shot tickets for a show that isn't even technically on sale yet. And yet here we are. Whether this is serious or performance art or what we couldn't rightly say, but let us politely suggest that you wait until tix for LCD Soundsystem's April 2 farewell show at Madison Square Garden are actually on sale, Friday at 11 a.m., before you go selling whatever amount of plasma it would require to finance this. (The ticket-resale market is already robust, but usually within more logical bounds: Tickets for this morning's Pitchfork presale, which lasted all of like 60 seconds apparently, topped out at a far more manageable $61.50.) Oh, and to whoever's offering this fantastic deal: James Murphy wants to kick your ass.

​The good news is enigmatic soul machine Cee Lo Green's The Lady Killer, a record the world has avidly awaited since the great "Fuck You" meme of August 2010, is out next week -- you can stream the whole thing via NPR right now, in fact. The great news is he's doing an intimate show at the W New York on Thursday, November 11 to celebrate. The less great news is that getting in will require either a great deal of luck or a great deal of discretionary income.

Watch this guy goof around in Central Park, for cheap. Real cheap.

​The year was 2009. You heard that Pavement were reuniting. You either love them or have been told by people older than you that you should love them. They announced a show in Central Park, for a year later. Like, a whole year later. It sold out. They announced another. And then another. And then another. And then, finally, a fifth show at the Williamsburg Waterfront that would actually take place before all the other ones, which was, if we can be real for a second, a dick move. (OSA says that one didn't quite sell out, if that's any consolation.) You probably bought tickets for one of these, probably somewhere in the middle. Perhaps now, a year later, you'd like to sell them, for what you paid for them, or perhaps even a little more. This is not going to happen.

Hannibal Buress walks through a city of lost souls, i.e. the Gathering of the Juggalos' Drug Bridge

On the comedy stage of All Tomorrow's Parties New York this weekend is the recently minted 30 Rock writer Hannibal Buress. The local comic's been all over the festival circuit this summer, from Pitchfork to Wilco's Solid Sound to the Gathering of the Juggalos. The latter is where he told dearly departed Paste that Tina Fey discovered him for his new job.
