It's a busy fall and tickets are cheap around here. I've put together a shortlist of shows that I'm going to/thinking of going to over the next couple months.
Most Serene Republic, Sept 10th at Schuba's
*Trail of Dead and Secret Machines, Sept 25th at LSA
*Grizzly Bear, Sept 27th at Metro (for the wife, really)
Yo La Tengo, Oct 6th at the Vic
*Telefon Tel Aviv, Oct 10th at Hideout
*Twilght Sad, Oct 12th at Empty Bottle
I put stars by the shows I already have tickets to. If I have to say one of these is a must attend it's the Trail of Dead and Secret Machines show. Both bands are amazing live and its 15 dollars.
Also the Pixies are playing the Aragon Nov 20th and Pinback will be at the Bottom Lounge on Nov 3rd.

Almost forgot, I'm seeing Alice in Chains at the HOB on the 19th of September. Should be interesting with the new singer. I've seen a couple of youtube videos and he's not bad at all. I'm going into it thinking I'm seeing the world's best Alice in Chains cover band.
Just saw a guy tonight named Will Hoge... awesome. He'll be up there around 10-23 at the Double Door: http://www.willhoge.com/tour
Give it a shot. He puts on a good show.
Junior Brown, Sept. 12th. FitzGerald's
Motorhead & Rev. Horton Heat this Sunday at HOB.
* Leonard Cohen, Oct 29, Rosemont Theater
* Monsters of Folk, Oct 30, Auditorium Theater
That Trail of Dead show may also find its way onto my list.

Like it's a habit, or something. I bartended a show of hers, about the same time of year, same place, back in 2001.
I guess the Steely Dan shows next are still considered "late summer." Because everybody loves Steely Dan.

I kinda want to check out Monsters of Folk. I saw Conor Oberst with the Mystic Valley Band at the Metro in July.
*Dinosaur Jr. Oct. 15 at Vic Theatre

I wish. Just stuck on Getty Images' website for way too long.
Google'd "her," and I remember this "act." What limp wrist was I confusing it with? Either way, the fact remains, and I made no money.

I think I'm going to try for the three-concerts-in-three-nights thing, ending with Dylan at the Aragon on Oct 31.
Tickets on sale Saturday, so there's still time for me to fuck it up.

I just picked up tickets to Dylan for the 31st. Good job pointing out the show.
I saw him about 5 years ago at the Iowa State Fair of all places. And despite the
terribleness of the venue, it still blew my fucking mind.

I really want to see Dylan but I spent last Halloween at the Aragon seeing the absolutely miserable Kings of Leon. Still...

Apparently there is now a dance remix of their new songs.
Presale tomorrow for Mark Knopfler at Chicago Theater, 4/23.
Nov. 20-21 Pixies Doolittle tour at the Aragon. Playing the entire album, all B-sides for Doolittle singles and "other Doolittle related material. I'm driving back to Chicago for that one since they aren't playing Detroit.

I have no idea why the idea of a live "La-La-Love You" excites me so much.
Saw Alice in Chains this weekend at the House of Blues...pretty good show. The new singer, William DuVall, holds his own quite well and they played 90% old shit anyway. It sounded excellent.
I thought it was pretty cool how the three surviving band members still have shoulder length hair. Relics, they are.
Anyway, they said they'd be back pretty soon. If you ever liked Alice in Chains I'd highly recommend checking them out next time around. They even played Junkhead.
Saw Rodrigo y Gabriela last night at the Riv.
Great show, unbelievable musical talent, creative and a blast to watch live.
Sold out show with a very enthusiastic crowd.
They played a mix of their previous releases and the new album 11:11 which is a tribute to 11 musicians that have influenced them.
They were joined by Robert Trujillo about half way into the show for four numbers.
And while I'm not a huge Metallica fan I had a smile on my face because it did indeed fucking kick ass.
Fine, it's now winter, and these shows stretch in spring. So what?
2/6 - North Mississippi All Stars, Cubby Bear
3/25 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Metro
4/1 - Spoon, Aragon
There may be more. 2010, the year of the live show.
