DJ's gorilla tour rider request still more reasonable than most divas'

12/11/2012

Bottled water, fresh cut flowers, scented candles and a fruit basket? Philadelphia-based electronic artist Diplo is interested in none of these things for his concert rider. Instead, the list of demands the DJ sent ahead of his December 30 New York show includes a parrot trained to say his name, a dart board with Nicolas Cage's face on it, a 1983 Yak Face "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" action figure in its original packaging and the third season of "Lost" on VHS. Diplo would also like a Silverback gorilla backstage ("an orangutan is also acceptable"), one arranged marriage (presumably not to the gorilla) and two inflatable animals ("bonus points for endangered or extinct species").
