Ooh, bad, bad scheduling HD against "A!" on the same night! I mean, how is Sean going to perform his cameo Kinks/Creedance mash-up from clear across town?

eh, diplo is unfortunately a bit disappointing of late. his productions are great, but it's the same old hipster-approved stuff with him, so i wouldn't get too excited about him. CSS (the opener) on the other hand is apparently amazing live, so show shouldn't be a total loss. we shall see...
