New
York, March 23-24 - Due to noise complaints from an upstairs
neighbor, alternative rock trio Marcy Playground had to cancel
their in-store performance at FYE at 51st and Avenue of the
Americas, and merely signed CDs for fans. The complaints came
after the previous day’s in-store performance by white-hot
N.E.R.D., who were promoting their new recording, Fly
or Die. Turns out the grumbling came from Jann
Wenner's Wenner Media, publisher of Rolling Stone
and Us Weekly magazines. An FYE spokesperson confirmed
that the complaint came from Rolling Stone, and when
asked if the music magazine was an immediate neighbor, he
replied, “Apparently”. Wenner Media verified that
their offices are, in fact, on the second floor of the building
at 1290 Avenue of the Americas. Immediately following N.E.R.D.’s
Tuesday set, a more sedate John Leguizamo
was at the store signing DVDs of his HBO movie Undefeated.
No complaints so far.
