“…the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement.” I’d say that’s a pretty accurate assessment. :)

$60 for Travis? That’s a lot of cash for a Commodore show. You’ll have to let me know how it is.

Scratch tends to not have many tickets anymore. Live Nation or whoever that group is won’t sell at Scratch, only Zulu and TM.

I have a strange desire to avoid Ticketmaster, though tix to the concert I’m going to tonight were $60/each from TM.

And I think I like music too much to write for Pitchfork (since they only rated it 6.8: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/pitchfork_gives_music_6_8)

I was talked into going by a friend who had an extra ticket so I bought it off him. I wonder if Scratch might have some? Those swine at Ticketmaster have got a seemingly unshakable monopoly on ticket sales. I despise them too but there isn’t much choice.

Would be rad if you came out!

Heh, you should start writing for Pitchfork or something.

Have you already bought tickets to Cold War Kids? I was thinking of going, but they’re sold out at Zulu and I hate Ticketmaster.

Of course, I discovered CWK many years ago, before they even existed yet.. or, more specifically, when they only had an EP or two out.
