You and I at Kohl's in Bear, DE.

I was confused about which tickets to buy, so I called (the number's 215-242-0150). The guy who answered told me the Saturday day tickets would get me in for the Tweedy show. (For some reason I didn't ask the exact time he was performing.)

You'll be getting a list from me. I just haven't had a chance to finish it up.

That's so awesome. I love them Truckers. I'll be seeing them this Friday at the 9:30 club, but they won't have an opener as great as the Old 97's.

There isn't any opener.

1. The National - High Violet

The rest, in no particular order:

Beach House - Teen Dream

Besnard Lakes - The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night

Basia Bulat - Heart of My Own

Frightened Rabbit - Winter of Mixed Drinks

Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-Do

Broken Bells - Broken Bells

Glossary - Feral Fire

Things I need to listen to more:

Tallest Man on Earth, Sharon Jones, Titus Andronicus, Band of Horses, New Pornographers, Hold Steady

This is hard! Even if I get my list narrowed to 50, ranking everything is going to be a bitch. For example, how much more do I like Summerteeth than Decoration Day? I have no idea. I just know I really, really love them both.

Steve McQueen - Drive-By Truckers

The Night GG Allin Came to Town - Drive-By Truckers

George Jones Talkin' Cell Phone Blues - Drive-By Truckers

NPR has a Webcast of tonight's show from the 9:30 Club in D.C.

So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright - Simon and Garfunkel

Did anyone else see Glenn there?

You and I in the lobby of the Westin in St. Louis.

It's been nearly all Glossary all the time for the past few days.

So that Strasburg kid is pretty decent.

This whole "pants hanging halfway off your ass, underwear visible to the entire world" fad has to die soon. Seriously kids. Pull up your pants!!

The other day I saw a kid pulling his pants down so that his underwear was showing. I so wanted to smack him upside the head.

So OK that they're showing the ninth inning on MLB Network.

Armando Galarraga is doing OK tonight.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now to start planning.

I try to get a poster for every concert I go to. It works out well with bands like Wilco and Drive-By Truckers, who always have posters. Others I haven't been so fortunate with. I would guesstimate I have around 60 posters. Hopefully someday I'll have a house big enough to hang them all up.

When people stand in my cubicle (sometimes thisclose to me) while talking to the guy who sits across from me. Go around, you lazy SOBs!

Maybe something by Free Energy? Or Vampire Weekend?

I'll be in St. Louis next month for the A's-Cards series and was wondering about other things to do. Obviously the Arch and the Anheuser-Busch tour. And I love art, so I'll also hit the St. Louis Art Museum. Anything else? I'll be there for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

(I'm pretty sure there was a St. Louis thread awhile back, but I couldn't find it, so a preemptive apology to Analogman.)

Things that come to mind without repeating anything that's been mentioned:

I and Love and You - I and Love and You (The Avett Brothers)

Seven Nation Army - Elephant (The White Stripes)

Stuck Between Stations - Boys and Girls in America (The Hold Steady)

Roscoe - The Trials of Van Occupanther (Midlake)

Laminated Cat - Loose Fur (Loose Fur)

Flume - For Emma, Forever Ago (Bon Iver)

Shampoo - Elvis Perkins in Dearland (Elvis Perkins in Dearland)

White Light/White Heat - White Light/White Heat (The Velvet Underground)

8. Your Daddy Hates Me

Nice!
