I had the option for 2 in row M, but that's 12 rows deep, so I passed.

 

 

Really?!?!!? I'd be dancing the jig if I had a chance at 12th row seats.

You're right. I went back and took em after turning them down the first time.

Keep refreshing the page, people. They're still there, at least for DC

yeah, he's right. DC said sold out 10 times and i keep refreshing looking for different seats and they keep popping up

Did anyone get tickets for DC (Bethesda)???

I have a feeling that for the Bethesda show there will be plenty of prime seats during the general sale.

wow, those DC ones went quick.

Hopefully the venue or ticketmaster will have some good seats.

After all these GA shows I've been to, it's totally not worth it sitting back a bit

yuck, I got in real quick and it gave me all the way back in row M. No thanks

tickets are 45 bucks to the bethesda show???

Ouch

Bethesda is around an hour and a half from Richmond, maybe a little longer.

I've seen Wilco 5 or 6 times and two of them were "Evenings with" and those 2 shows were BY FAR the best.

Thanks

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy tickets for the March show in Bethesda, Maryland.

Says presale tix go on sale Jan 6. Do I need to sign up for something to try to do the presale? How does it work?

Thanks!

Good news. I didn't know he had a new album on the way. Loved the last LP.

Anyone else heard this yet? Not due til March, but leaks are floating around.

What a fantastic album, I love it already. Seems like Mr Mercer found someone he really clicks with here. His vocals sounds great and the beats and production from DM are spot on. Good stuff.

alright, for whatever it's worth, here's my list of favorites in no particular order:

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

Wilco - The Album

The Dodos - Time To Die

Fanfarlo - Reservoir

St. Vincent - Actor

fun. - Aim and Ignite

Yeah I tend to agree. The last minute and a half of that version is great.

Revolution and Day in the Life come to mind. Those would be killer.

solace, when does the next Arcade Fire album drop?

the whole band are incredibly fun and cool people for sure

wayne coyne would have to disagree with you.

I agree with the comment about the ACL show- one of the best TV concerts I've ever seen, translated incredibly well- most bands sound a bit flat and lack energy on TV performances.

I saw them last fall, just a handful of them, when they were doing some free shows in Ohio for Obama and they were incredible. I can't imagine seeing them live with the entire ensemble.

I think my 2 favorite are the Sharon and Neil Finn duet, "Little by Little" and "Bodhisattva Blues"

definitely a lot of good tunes on this thing.

I hate to be the negative nancy, but I think jeff's track is one of the weaker ones on the whole album. weird song. I'll have to give it plenty more listens, but don't like it much at all on the first couple listens.

it done leaked!

You probably didn't need to start this thread. Just go here-- http://tinyurl.com/kro3er

whatever song is streaming here at http://wallofice.com/ sounds like it could be the makings of something really cool.

Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar Team Up to Record Jack Kerouac Album

 

 

The last time Ben Gibbard split off from the rest of Death Cab for Cutie to record an album's worth of songs, that album was the Postal Service's Give Up, and half a million sensitive indie types swooned. (Of note: That Postal Service album still absolutely rules, eff a backlash.)

 

Now he's done it again, this time with Jay Farrar, Son Volt frontman, former Uncle Tupelo member, and all-around alt-country standard-bearer.

 

Farrar and Gibbard originally got together in 2007 to record music for the forthcoming Jack Kerouac documentary One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur. (Both Gibbard and Farrar appear in the film, as do Tom Waits, Patti Smith, and many of Kerouac's contemporaries.) That collaboration blossomed into an entire full-length album, which has the same title as the movie. Gibbard and Farrar wrote and performed all the songs together, with lyrics taken from Kerouac's 1962 novel Big Sur. You can watch the music video for the Farrar-sung track "San Francisco" here, and the tracklist is below. The trailer for the film can be seen here.

 

One Fast Move or I'm Gone is due October 20 on F-Stop/Atlantic, the day before the 40th anniversary of Kerouac's death. The documentary will also be out on October 20, and you can either buy the Gibbard/Farrar album by itself on CD or vinyl or packaged with the DVD. There will also be a deluxe CD/DVD package that includes a copy of Kerouac's novel and a 40-page book on the documentary.

Farrar and Gibbard are both big fans of Kerouac. When he was working on Death Cab's Narrow Stairs, Gibbard even stayed in the same Big Sur cabin that Kerouac used to write his book.

 

In to an interview Farrar did with the St. Louis Riverfront Times (via TwentyFourBit), he had to say about the project: "We both wound up in the studio together, just sort of decided to take a step further and record a whole batch of songs. It's kind of evolved into a real project... It was a great experience working with Ben. I guess because there wasn't a whole lot of planning that went into the process, I think we both really got a lot from the experience."

cool, I will check these out.

Just curious if you are just using the internal mic in the computer or if you are using an external mic. I use garageband as well, so just curious what your set up is.
