You can truck on down with us Ian...

Thanks dude. I'm playing this one by ear but I'll definitely roll down with ya'll if I go!

(Cough) I only recognize 6 names on there....

(Cough) The Hold Steady....?

The bears need to go to a sanctuary and the dudes running to grow op should be shot for domesticating them...

"YEYA!!!"

I agree it's a crap-shoot. That being said, I usually aim for somewhere around the soundboard. It's there for a reason. I never wear earplugs. If it's ever too loud, I just move to somewhere more quiet. I'm never that hell-bent on being close to bother suffering over it...

i imagine i'll be at most of those --- in the lot anyway...

I'll probably wind up at Utica. Haven't seen the boys in a while. Would love to make it out to Colorado for the run and catch up with Boulder folk. EIther way it would be awesome to run into you. I heard you used to be vegan...

By the look in his eyes in this picture, I'd say he would definitely eat the small pony he's staring at... For love...

AC would be awesome. Would love to head out to CO though and catch up with some old friends there.

The Swell Season To Split After Tragedy

Oscar winners and former lovers GLEN HANSARD and MARKETA IRGLOVA are to split as THE SWELL SEASON to embark on other endeavours.

The news comes just days after a fan committed suicide onstage at a Swell Season show in Saratoga, California - but the tragedy has nothing to do with the parting.

Hansard has announced plans to rejoin his former band The Frames, while Irglova intends to record a solo album.

Aloha,

Brad

I love how boldly the title implies that it's because of the tragedy...

Call the press...

They're playing at Le Petit Chicago in Gatineau, QC on Friday, October 1.

Aloha,

Brad

What's the publicity to hype ratio?

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

I keep a singer/songwriter in my car in case something comes up. An awesome tool for everything from changing a tire to having backup around in case a fight breaks out...

unless, of course, that singer/songwriter is ryan adams.

True. He's still a tool though...

Thanks for popping this up Basher...

I would want Glen around for any emergency.

"I'm pretty sure we've heard this one before..."

I hear they opened a new gap there. We'll have to talk about the gap they opened over on Sunset Blvd another time. I'm still waiting on the permit...

Awesome. I can see that going over really well. I know he collaborated a little bit with Simon Posford of Shpongle and it came out really well...

Watch it here

They should just start a band.

Or start a genre. Bass 'n Bass.

So who won the ugly-off?

Somehow I think everyone's a winner....

Well, as you all seem eager to know. Yes, there was a ferry. A shortage of ferries, but a ferries nonetheless. There was, however, no shortage of hipsters. And security was minimal, patting down bags, etc. The Arcade Fire were amazing, though. AMAZING!

Anyone heading out? Never seen a show out there. Anyone know what to expect other than the nightmare of legions of hipsters swarming the ferry? Aka, what's the deal with Security?

I caught the first Buffalo Bill at the Great Went after a 200+ show hiatus.

I too share your awesomeness....

The real question is whether Fishman can outplay Kreutzman AND Hart. Is Trey better than Jerry was? Are you a fan of apples or oranges? Together, do they not compliment a summer salad quite nicely? I like dried mangos...
