Does anyone know if you can buy tickets online or can you just get them in person?

there's only been a handful of artists who haven't been sunk by the 'new dylan' sensationalizing.. springsteen, beck, & in his own way bright eyes.. everyone else gets crushed by the expectations.

i hate seeing writers resort to name-dropping rather than weighing in on an artist based on his/her own merits. it's just sloppy, idle music writing.

you all must see this show... saw hiim in Tucson a little bit back, and it was amazing... helped that Neko Case and Howe Gelb made it on stage to help him out (not that he needed it!)

Actually "New Dylan" is a keyboard short cut that music journalists have set up as a preset on their computers.

They push it when they can’t muster original thought. Which is 93% of the time.

If Bill is a troll, that is the nicest troll comment I've ever seen in my life.

Speaking of M Ward and Neko Case, the former will open the first date of the latter's tour of the UK & Ireland on Nov. 1.

This show was incredible. Does anyone know the name of the Daniel Johnston song he played?
It was stunning.

anyone? i'm curious about that johnston song too.

i didn't see the show, but i've seen m. ward a number of times. he has a track on the daniel johnston tribute album called "late great daniel johnston: discovered covered." m. ward covers johnston's "story of an artist." i've seen him play it live also, so maybe that's the song.

Nice one, Bill. Too true. M. Ward is the best M. Ward.
