Media copies went out last week, so the leak could be happening anytime now. It ain't coming from me though.

I chose the rating.

My review went up yesterday:

Leaving Michigan bright and early tomorrow morning, headed straight for the pre-game spot, wherever it may be.

Just got row P, 6 and 8. Closest I could get 2 together in the center.

Got my IC tix yesterday. Was a great one there last time, and as of right now, it is the "closer" of the TDU shows. Did you get them on the DBT site? Looks like they only have orchestra right and orchestra left tickets available, but looking at the seating chart those sections seem to be ...

My Complicated Game review went up today:

I know it's only February and all, but this is gonna be pretty tough to beat for AOY.

I contributed to this one: m For the record, the list I submitted was: 1. Sun Kil Moon, Benji 2. Drive-By Truckers, English Oceans 3. The Hold Steady, Teeth Dreams 4. Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires, Dereconstructed 5. Foxygen, …And Star Power 6. Sturgill Simpson, Metamodern Sounds In Country Mu...

Man, I so wish I could have been there for this momentous occasion in DBT history! How full up was the place?

I just wish they'd quit playing the Royal Oak Music Theater. The sound is shit, I could barely hear a word Patterson was saying as he told the White Knuckle, West Virginia story in its entirety. I couldn't make it, thought I really wanted to. Totally agree about the ROMT, though, and that shitty ve...

She'll be there. But we wouldn't mind some company on the rail.

Come on. Just me?

Only two weeks to go. Who's in?

Uh oh! I panned the Gaslight Anthem's new album and now Brian Fallon and all his Twitter followers are pissed at me! m And I'm not sure I want those folks pissed at me. When I saw the band open for the Hold Steady all the hardcore fans up front were huge muscly tattooed guys who were annihilated dru...

The 400 Unit (with Amanda Shires in tow) just got done playing a very nice seven song set opening for Willie here at Freedom Hill Ampitheatre in Sterling Heights. They got a great response from my highly MURICA-ish fellow concert goers. Codeine Traveling Alone New South Wales Cover Me Up Relatively ...

Okay, fair enough. That's weird that they can send you to the balcony even if you have a GA ticket. It was my first concert in Michigan so I can't speak to the other venues you mention. I have friends who live 24 miles from Detroit who have never seen DBT. I'm thinking about seeing Royal Oak (and d...

The yellow one is Cooley Bird.

My review of Dereconstructed just went up on Slant Magazine:

http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/revi ... onstructed

"Detroit" show is going to be at the Royal Oak Music theater again - huge bummer as this was the worst venue I have seen DBT at, was hoping they would return to Detroit again. Maybe it's time to make an out of state journey, would be the first year missing them Update: What is the Louisvi...

Coming through loud and clear!

Happy birthday Bill!

At long last, I present my (absurdly long) review of English Oceans. Only a couple of months late.

And with that, I have now finished reviewing the entire DBT catalog, an undertaking I began four and a half months ago. You can read all the reviews at this link:

What's the family connection, Bubba?

I'm always down for a decent horror flick, and now that Abigail Breslin is almost 18 I think I'm allowed to say she's cute, right? I don't see any show times up yet but if it's playing reasonably nearby I'll go see it.

The curfew was a bummer but getting to see Grand Canyon live made it OK. I think I like it even better than Angels & Fuselage as a set closer, honestly. Before the show when we were all waiting outside the venue before doors, this couple sort of cut in line after some of us had already been out ...

Looks like my ticket got lost in the mail or something. They transferred me over to will call. This is happening next week people! Get psyched! Just to add my two cents for folks looking for places to eat near Terminal 5 - I agree, it's pretty much a wasteland around there, but I really like The Gre...

For folks who ordered tickets from the dbt site, have they arrived yet? Still waiting on mine.

My pre-order finally arrived today. Blasting right now. The CD sounds so much better than the leak. Carry on.
