Once in a while, a show comes along that's guaranteed to be blogged, YouTubed, and Hype Machine'd to death. So, best hop on this year's Tibet House benefit early; otherwise, you're bound to hear about it ad nauseam 24-hours too late. The lineup speaks for itself: master composer Philip Glass directs Sufjan Stevens alongside the Kinks' Ray Davies, Band of Horses, famed harpist Phamie Gow, Brazilian chanteuse Marisa Monte, and Television mastermind Tom Verlaine. The final selling point here? Gravitas comes courtesy of the show's Carnegie Hall setting, and all proceeds go toward preserving Tibetan culture.
