In the last week I’ve booked my tickets for: Tommy Stinson on this wednesday, at the Electric Ballroom, Camden Paul Westerburg, at the Scala in mid-October, playing in the UK for the first time since 93. Shellac in November, also at the Scala And finally, I managed to gets me Nick Cave tickets for the 12th of November, after missing out the last two times he’s played here. Anyone else off to see anybody good soon? I’m well looking forward to these. ---

Thanks to eBay, I’m joining the Caravan to Toronto for the Pixies. Funny, the last time I saw them it cost me $11. Not so much laugh out loud funny… ---

Wilco, tonight. Heard Tweedy’s been in and out of psych wards lately - better catch them while I can. > [@paulberserker](#): > > Paul Westerburg, at the Scala in mid-October, playing in the UK for the first time since 93. I caught Westerberg on his _Granpa Daddy_ (Sp?) tour. Most excellent show. All by himself, and called a bunch of the audience up on stage with him to sing the older PW songs and Mats hits. Well, not hits, but you know what I mean. ---

I think you mean the Come Feel Me Tremble tour (2002). Excellent show. He’s taking part in a [benefit for Karl Mueller of Soul Asylum](http://www.glidemagazine.com/news1350.html) in Minneapolis on 10/23 but I have tix for Old 97’s in Madison that night (the only gig on my agenda) so won’t be making the trip up there.
