he's back jack smoking crack find him if you want to get found
And i'm really spoiled rotten. Two acoustic solo shows here next Saturday, then 2 months later, 2 band shows, all within a very short distance of my home. This next 2 month span is also peppered with various other great shows (Nels Cline/Glenn Kotche, the Bad Plus, Neko Case/Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, Ted Leo/Pharmacists) and i just got back from the Pitchfork fest - again, i'm really spoiled rotten.

This time a nearly pooped a jealousy lung. I wonder how the Cline/Kotche show will be?

They do solo sets, then a joint set. Cline is one of my favorite guitarists alive, and i've seen Kotche do his solo drum thing before, and it is intense and wonderful.
Great time to be a music fan, ain't it?

I read (on Chicagoist, I think) that the Kotche solo performance is... well less positive than what you worte.
As for it being a great time to be a music fan, it would be appear to be for you Mr. I live in the American northeast. Although I shouldn't complain too much, I'm seeing Feist on sunday and could be seeing Wolf Parade/Frog Eyes (if I weren't seeing Feist).

But you also get health care and gov't support for the arts.
However, i did just officially purchase my FB tickets, so here comes 4 FB shows in 63 days!

On the one hand, fuck the House of Blues. On the other, I'm seeing Frank three times in November. |

| That is true, and it's been three years since I've seen Frank solo, so I'll go wherever he's playing at this point. It's just the fake ambiance, the constant barrage of ads from all angles, and the expensive beer that puts me off 'em mostly. And if they're running a "club night" after the show, you can forget about an encore... |

Nope, they're with the band. They start rehearsing in San Fran on the 26th and tour thereafter.

Ach, I don't know. This is getting a bit depressing.
I mean, Frank seems to stop at every market place in the USA and Canada to play his solo stuff. All interested UK-citizens are flown in for free to see him play in Tennessee. And after that, Frank is going to live in France.
Good for everyone. Happy, cheerfull posts wherever you look.
Like I said. Depressing.

Hm. I haven't even considered that option before you asked.
Even if I could manage to get a few more days off in this autum, which is very unlikely, I couldn't afford the trip right now, I'm afraid.
It' going to be be bootlegs and fb.net posts for me. |

Anyone having trouble accessing ticketmaster? Both the Canadian and US sites seem to be down. Either that, or I made up "ticketmaster" and neither of those sites actually exist. One hopes for the latter.
I need to know when tickets go on sale!

| Don't want to derail the thread, but those Nashville session pics look good. Frank looks quite radiant in them. |

Those pics are indeed excellent. Is there any chance they could be permanently saved to this website?

I do intend to move them to our gallery whenever Llama is ready to get going on that again but for the time being I assure you they're quite safe on my site...

| I just heard The Showbox didn't burn all the way down. But it did get fucked up pretty good. I hope it'll be ready for Frank in November. |
