^um, dude, you've got a long ass name. liz is finally coming to her senses are realizing that big breakthrough career with that halfass writing team apparently isn't working so she's going back to the beginning. omfg! an artist...playing a whole album...in 2008, that's so, um, 2007?

Fastest sellout ever. Damn it.

sold out

seriously? that was like 30 seconds...

Less than 30 seconds.

That's fucked.

how long until the craigslist postings pop up?

what's the devil is the seating arrangement. my tix were gen adm "GA3 seats 9 and 10". so it's not GA?

no way did that sell out that quickly. that is impossible.

A lot of women in their mid-30s bought tickets for this -- their first concert outing in 6 years. Now the babysitter has to be hired, and they can finally display that tattoo they've been hiding since 2003.

I'm in my mid-30s. So? Is there some age limit to liking the type of music covered on this blog?

No! Just make sure you take a nap on the afternoon of this show, its a lot harder to stay awake past midnight these days. And definitely proudly display the old tattoo!

That was not the fastest sell out ever Haha. Tell that to the Tom Waits fans that wanted to see him in Columbus you knuckleheads. Anyway, I am going to a real show that night(Pearl Jam) but i got 2 tickets to this show and i would like to be nice and sell them here before Craigslist. So anyone who needs 2 that will be 100.00 per ticket. Leave your email.

I'm a guy, I have no tattoos and I think I've been to about 40 shows thus far this year. I'll probably be ok. But thanks for your concern, punk.

Got 1 spare if anyone wants to trade me. Im looking for a Sigur Ros ticket...

anon 12:07 is the biggest fucking douche in the world.

hiro sometimes has seats on the main floor for their acoustic shows, which are first come, first serve. they get occupied pretty fast, and once taken, you have to stand all the way in the back.

Don't you worry they will be adding another show when the cd comes out...which will be better!

I'll take them for $100 each. you can e-mail me at brian.peppers@live.com. I'm serious about buying your tickets.

oh - you must only be a male - and in your 20's to know about or like music??

you are ignorant and a jerk.

Who are you calling ignorant and a jerk?

That's the point - no one wants to see her perform her new stuff - just exile.

scratch that... anon 12:10 is an even bigger douche for buying those tickets.

I think I'll send his email address to a bunch of spammers

haha to whoever said peeal jam will be a real show...that was back in the early 90s sorry

"I'm a guy, I have no tattoos and I think I've been to about 40 shows thus far this year. I'll probably be ok"

And you're going to see this Guyville show? It was a pandering gimmick 15 years ago, and now its just pathetic. On a positive note, you should be able to get lucky with some milf's if you're willing to put up with a little more bottom baggage.

His "e-mail address" is brian.peppers@live.com.

Do you think that's real?

"And you're going to see this Guyville show? It was a pandering gimmick 15 years ago, and now its just pathetic. On a positive note, you should be able to get lucky with some milf's if you're willing to put up with a little more bottom baggage."

You remember it being a gimmick when you were 7? Get over yourself. I'm sure there's a Dan Deacon show you can catch. There's a reason people a lot smarter than you think Exile in Guyville is a seminal record. It's good.

According to the timestamp on the posts above, this event sold out before it even went on sale. Ticketmaster is corrupt - but that's nothing new.

What exactly about Exile in Guyville is a gimmick? Have you even listened to the album?

Seriously, it's a great record. But the douchebag who called it a gimmick probably loves Dan Deacon and thinks Crystal Castles are the end-all. In other words, he's an idiot.

I'm sorry, you're a fucking idiot. Guyville was junk in 1993 and its just fucking sad now.

Steve Albini hit it on the nose back then, and history has proven him correct.

You are an idiot, seriously. Pearl Jam still put on amazing shows you dummy. Thats why they all sell out huge arenas.

Plus has anyone took the time to notice this is an acoustic show? This will probably be just Liz alone on stage performing the album. Now dont get me wrong, I love this record but i got to say to the people who got tickets for this show.......SUCKERS

2nd date added 6/26... go get 'em!

Woooh. Got tickets for second date.

I got shut out on the 1st show, but I just got 2 for the second show.

In keeping with the phenomenon of artists performing entire records in concert, and to assure that the concertgoer gets full value for their hard earned money, the complete setlists for all future concerts should be posted in advance of ticket sales. Just sayin'.

"I'm sorry, you're a fucking idiot. Guyville was junk in 1993 and its just fucking sad now.

Out of curiousity, why don't you share with us what band you are currently listening to? We all need you to give us an edumacation on music.

Got 'em!

I'll be dragging my non-tattooed, 40+-year-old ass to Hiro on the 26th.

Fuck you ageist hipsters! Enjoy the Pearl Jam show asshole.

...by the way, I saw Pearl Jam in 91 at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, when they were actually ABOUT something. Ha-ha.

"Anyway, I am going to a real show that night(Pearl Jam)"

I am having a bet with a co-worker.... He says that you are 14, I say 30. Who wins?

'acoustic' performance = strapped-for-cash grab.

What time does Daft Punk go on?

All I want to hear is "supernova."

Guess I'll have to wait for the Whip-Smart show.

Pear Jam smokes donkey dix...

"Steve Albini hit it on the nose back then, and history has proven him correct."

Steve Albini said this in regards to Liz Phair:
"Artists who survive on hype are often critic's pets. They don't, however, make timeless, classic music that survives trends and inspires generations of fans and other artists."

That's funny, considering that 15 years later Exile in Guyville is considered by many to be timeless, classic music that has inspired generations of fans and other artists.
Steve Albini seems to make a hobby out of dissing other musicians and has also said that Surfer Rosa by the Pixies was "A patchwork pinch loaf from a band who at their top-dollar best are blandly entertaining college rock".

Dude, when was the last time you actually listened to this crap before these shows were announced. Liz Phair has one hype-generated popular album. Her 2nd and 3rd albums were even worse, and she was pretty much finished in the business before the decade was over. Her albums are sadly quite dated.
Albini ripped Phair, Pumpkins and Urge Overkill. Of those three, only the Pumpkins can be argued to have lasted past their original hype, and even now Corgin has basically just become a parody of himself.
So basically Albini was actually right on the money about it all.
