It won't be Dr. Dog - they have a string of solo dates far away that week: Fri 10/12/07 Denver, CO Larimer Lounge Sat 10/13/07 Salt Lake City, UT In The Venue Mon 10/15/07 Seattle, WA Crocodile Cafe Tue 10/16/07 Vancouver, BC Media Club Thu 10/18/07 San Francisco, CA The

Were these shows back then students only? Can one assume there will be tix for the general public? I have a friend out that way, but unfortunately said person is not a student there.

HEY WAIT - looks like this THREAD was started ONE YEAR AGO when Wilco did tour Ft. Worth and San Antonio. Someone made a recent reply, it moved up top and FOOLED ME. Right? Yeah, no San Antonio or Ft. Worth planned this year - I think?

Thank you! Hey, for anyone else wondering, pollstar has the boys at that festival on Sunday, Oct. 28 (if you want to believe Pollstar, who sometimes gets stuff wrong).

Someone take me, please if you get tickets. We won't be in town early enough to try to do the ACL Taping ticket thing (they do a street giveaway via. an announcement on the radio Friday afternoon, right?). When I say "we" I mean "me." My husband will be with me, but he'll be happy to sit in a bar while some kind soul takes me to the ACL taping. (In my dreams, I know). These tickets never get sold or scalped or anything, do they? Not that I want to support that. I actually had tickets to the White STripes aftershow in my basket even though I knew I didn't want to leave the festival for it

Ah - thank you!

Am I blind? Did the PM button disappear? Thanks, Laura

Does anyone know if they eventually sell single day tickets to this festival? I know the schedule isn't announced yet, but I forsee my casino-loving husband wanting to spend a few days in Biloxi and maybe just trying to hit Wilco and Spoon at the festival in New Orleans. $115 would be a lot to pay just for Spoon and Wilco. We used to live up that way --- I'd suggest Le Maison Dupuy for anyone wishing to stay in the Quarter somewhat affordable w/onsite parking. http://www.maisondupuy.com/ Looks likes $229/$159 per night. Yowch. Anyway, if anyone knows about single day tickets, could yo

I'm torn between The Heartless Bastards and The National. I'm about to leave the country for a week - you think I'll come back and find either show sold out? I had planned to go two years ago and remember most the aftershows (pretty big ones that year, including Wilco) didn't sell out until they'd been on sale a few weeks. I'm still ticked about not being able to see Dr. Dog w/out a White Stripes ticket, too. If anyone has an inside on that, PM me. Sucks that they're touring with Wilco but don't get to 1. Play the fest, or 2. Have their own aftershow.

I think it's weird there's nobody Saturday at Stubb's, too. I'm PISSED that you need a ticket to the White Stripes to go to the Dr. Dog aftershow Sunday night. THAT is gonna be a hard ticket to get (they are doing a MusicToday presale tho). I plan on seeing Wilco and Dylan at the Fest. Sunday - which would make it hard to be to Stubb's for White Stripes. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Saturday night.

But I just noted that Dr. Dog is opening for Wilco on all of their Sept dates. I also noted that Dr. Dog is playing an "ACL AFTERPARTY" on Sept 16th. Since Dr. Dog is not scheduled to play the ACL fest, and this coincides with Wilco's scheduled 6:30 time slot on said day, I feel conifident in assuming that Wilco will be headlining this afterparty. Time and location forthcoming. I will post once confirmed. I'd be surprised if Wilco headlined an aftershow on the same day they're playing the festival. Austin has curfews or noise ordinances or something that limits how late music can go outsi

Sounds like announcements are coming this week. Check here Monday or Tuesday: http://aclfest.com/aftershows/ I'm thinking 4 nights in a row sounds like a bit much for the boys, but not unheard of.

I saw Dr. Dog open for the Raconteurs last year and loved them. Now I'll get to see them open for Wilco in Texas. YAY!!! Now how about a Stubbs show, guys? Oh, and FLA after hurricane season would be nice, too.

So if you put FEST on the end of something, will Wilco play it? Loraawfest, Nov. 3, by my pool. Maybe I'll rent a Porta-John and sell bottles of water for $3.

I was flying American Airlines this weekend and who was staring out from my seatback pocket? Jeff Tweedy. He's this month's cover story on American Airlines magazine. It's actually a really interesting read because they interview him mostly about Chicago - so it's not the same interview I've read in 12 other magazines. My favorite part was when the old man sitting next to me put his magazine on his tray and emptied his Chex mix on top of the magazine, then proceeded to eat off Jeff's face for the rest of the trip. I don't know why I found this amusing. Too much time in planes, I suppose.

What I love about Colin's 33 1/3 book is that it had a story and a plot and was super entertaining. I discovered The Decemberists by reading "Let It Be." I've tried to read a few of the others - the ones on Neil Young and the one of ABBA - but they're a little dry.

Fair enough. And I subscribe to Paste and Harp - so I'm supporting what I'm complaining about. How's that for wishy-washy?

Pretentiousness is it on the nose. Not from Jeff, per say, but in the way music journalists write. Often it seems like the questions they ask aren't because they want to know the answer, but because they want to show off their own knowledge to the person they are interviewing and the reader. The Rock Snob's Dictionary is not only a funny read, but a pretty good reference manual for fitting in with popular music writing. Use the word seminal a lot. Make refences to obscure bands people will have to Google to know what you're writing about. I'm a journalist - not of the music variety - and

I was offended/embarrassed for Jeff by the toy gun in mouth photo. WTF? -Laura

After reading a bunch of middle-aged American music journalists trying to show off their musical snobbery and pinholing Wilco into genres, THIS review made me laugh. It's just fun to read something different. I might not think so if I lived over there and read her all the time. Loosen up, guys. -Laura

I won't bore y'all with what album I think is best or whatnot, BUT I think Being There is the album that seems to encompass everything that Wilco is/was/came to be. There's stuff on Being There that could have fit well onto A.M., and at the same time stuff that would have fit in on AGIB or SBS, etc. It's musically diverse and probably is the best CD for newbies who want an overall taste. I say, leave the ranking lists to Rolling Stone for when they're too lazy to interview someone and write a real story (I poke fun, but I eat up those magazine lists). And that's my 2 cents, -Laura

I saw the 4/8 show in Orlando. "Wow" would also be my review. Colin had lots of funny stuff to say about playing in an amusement park (Hard Rock Live, inside Universal City Walk). "Thanks for coming to the heart of the beast tonight." (sic). "Thank you residents from, uh, around here - nobody actually lives IN Orlando, right?" (audience agrees). Jokes about leaving the concert and passing the Endangered Species store and the Nascar Grille, with an E on the end to make it classier. I became a fan of this band in a weird way, I read Colin Meloy's 33 1/3 book on The Replacements' "Let It Be"

Ah, you're right, I see it now. Those are some of the strangest things I've ever seen ... My husband's been joking forever that he wants to get me a Tweedy bobblehead - I'm sure he'll buy me a set of these.

WFT? I can't even figure out who is who of those toys. I love the quote "We like the one with the funny head." Uh ... they ALL have funny heads! So can anyone ID the dolls?
