No show announcements have absolutely wowed me this semester…until now:

WU-TANG. CANOPY CLUB. DECEMBER 13TH.

(Seriously, this is such a big deal that I went doomsday font on you.)

Ok, ok, everybody breathe again. According to the Smile Politely article that broke the story,

“…the lineup will be missing original members Ol’ Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.) and Method Man (who will be wrapping up a tour with Redman the night prior to the group’s Canopy performance), fans can expect Ghostface, Raekwon, GZA, Inspectah Deck and the rest of the Clan to bring the noise in support of their recent release Soundtracks from the Shaolin Temple.”

While this is legitimately some of the best music news I’ve heard in a while, it poses a problem — The Hood Internet is also booked to play this evening (at midnight), as are Oceans, World’s First Flying Machine and Common Loon as part of the four-night Fall Semester Showdown at 9pm.

The 13th was a great lineup to start, so here’s hoping they don’t cancel anything. But three totally different yet across-the-board fantastic shows in one night at Canopy? Could be one for the ages, folks. One for the ages.

Update: Unfortunately, Oceans, World’s First Flying Machine and Common Loon will not be playing on the 13th, and will try to be rearranged into the now-three night festival. The show is set to be Wu Tang earlier, Hood Internet afterwards.
