    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Looks like it will be a fundraiser for Obama....Details still TBD...Here is an article from todays Wisconsin State Journal:

     

    MON., OCT 27, 2008 - 10:36 PM

    Wilco to play Concert for Change in Madison on Saturday

     

    Chicago-based band Wilco will perform a Concert for Change on Saturday, according to the band's Web site.

     

    The location of the concert has not yet been announced.

     

    Previous Concert for Change events have been fundraisers for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

     

    It's the same day as Madison's third annual Freakfest Halloween celebration.

     

    Beginning at 7 p.m. on several Downtown stages, several other bands will perform, including O.A.R. at 12:30 a.m. Sunday as the headliner on the Mountain Dew Amp/Z104 stage at the corner of State Street and the Capitol Square.

     

    A stage on State and Gilman streets will feature local acts such as Natty Nation, Awesome Car Funmaker and The Box Social, among others.

    hmmmmm....

     

    The link on the Wilcoworld crawl goes to Obama's website....wonder if Obama is going to reschedule his Madison appearance that he canceled last week. It would be pretty sweet if Wilco is playing a free Obama ralley on Sat! ...or a least a concert in support of Obama?

     

    Anyone know any details? I have not been able to find any.

    Harp Magazine Discontinues Publishing after Seven-Year Run

     

    Guthrie, Inc., the company that publishes Harp magazine, announced today that it has discontinued publishing Harp, effective immediately. The last issue sent to subscribers and newsstands was the March/April issue with Dave Grohl on the cover.

    Best of 2007

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I just posted this in another thread....but, I'm really surprised that there has not been a mention of Mescalito. My favorite album of 2007 is Ryan Bingham 'Mescalito'. Saw him open for DBT earlier this year.

     

    Link to Bingham's Myspace

     

    and here is a write up on Bingham from allmusic.com:

     

    Americana singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham was raised in rural Texas, where years of hardscrabble ranch work and competitions on the rodeo circuit would eventually surface in the dusty riffs of his country-styled debut, Mescalito. Living alone since his mid-teens, Bingham shuttled back and forth between Southwestern border towns and relatives' homes, often sleeping in his truck after nightly rodeo gigs. It was during those treks that he began entertaining friends with the guitar, an instrument he'd learned at the age of 17 from a mariachi neighbor. Drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan, Marshall Tucker, and Bob Wills

    so anyone think they are going to play those songs from the wilco book? that would be funny if they played the entire wilco book in the same setlist... the people that chose that day would be pretty pissed.

     

    I actually would like to hear a few of those tunes.....

    Wendy posted some good info about musictoday's policies in this thread. They always send out tickets just a week or two before the show.

     

    Thanks for the info.

     

    In the past I thought I remembered getting my tix earlier than 2 weeks in advance. So I just wanted to see if anyone has received their's yet. I guess I'll just be patient and wait annother week or two before I really start to worry.

    I have not received my Music Today pre-order tickets for the Madison Oveture Center show yet. I'm starting to worry that there might be something wrong with my order. Is it just me? Has anyone else received their Music Today pre-order tix in the mail yet? :hmm

    thanks but no thanks $39 for bad sounding ballroom.....im cheap but i like quality shows

     

     

    I know.....I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I don't think I'm going to get tix to that show. I really can't stand that venue....I'm not sure why Wilco keeps playing there.

     

    Guess I'm just going to see Wilco in Madison this fall.
