The Walkmen @ Masonic Temple in December (more by Natasha Ryan)
The Walkmen

“We live in scary times. Sure, we might wonder how that inane Southern California woman is going to feed fourteen mouths, but what about the family whose breadwinners lost their jobs, and now have not only no money to pay the mortgage, but feed their kids?

No one seems to care about those people. Everyone’s too selfish. I’ve got mine, fuck you. But what if you suddenly don’t have yours anymore?

You used to sell ten million records, now you can’t even sell two. Those damn pirates! But those pirates are real people. Who overpaid to hear one good track on a CD. They’ve got no sympathy for you. And they may overpay to see superstars once, but not forever. The Stones don’t sell out anymore. Nor does Springsteen, not even Madonna. The printed grosses are high, but that’s because of the inflated ticket prices.

Is the concert industry headed for a fall? Just like the recorded music industry?” [Bob Lefsetz]

In related news, Live Nation and Ticketmaster announced plans to merge.
