Glow in the Dark Tour Update & Mixtape

Finally! a New York date has been released! Woot! If I don't get tickets, I'm seriously going to blow. I have the complete list of dates below, and I am pumped even if I haven't bought my tickets yet. Also, thanks to The Pitchfork, we now know which acts will be providing 'Ye with backup at each date. And all I can say, thank goodness Lupe and N.E.R.D. are doing New York, while I am a bit saddened that the lovely Rihanna will not be there, Kanye, Lupe and Pharrell will more than make up for her. Also, I'll look into some of the dates provided by Pitchfork as they have some of the venues and cities mixed up. Hmmm...

Googling "Glow in the Dark Tour" I stumbled upon a fan made mixtape for the tour, aptly titled The Glow in the Dark Tour Mixtape--leaves nothing to the imagination, eh?

An alright mix--comprised of tracks off each of the respective artists latest releases, with a few remixes and live performances thrown in for good measure. The mix manages to include a studio recording of 'Ye's 2008 Grammy version of Hey Mama--barebones and heartfelt. Also, much love for including two of my favourite tracks, Rihanna's Push Up On Me and Fiasco's Streets On Fire. Nothing earth-shattering, but worth a download/listen if you're a fan.

Download the zip or listen to the mp3:
