[I can't believe it's not sold out either. 

Things just aren't as popular anymore.  MBV hadn't played Philly in 22 years and they barely sold out the Electric Factory. Apparently some of those Pixies shows have sold out (but without Kim Deal, Lord know why...) but not in Philly.  Fred Armisten had to move his show from the Factory to Underground Arts because of slow ticket sales. And with Portlandia, he's like the comedic Lou Reed of the 21st century.  Even the new Arcade Fire album has landed with a resounding thud.  Whilst blatantly trying to be the next U2 has always been unseemly, I bet Win Butler never thought it would be this unprofitable.

Tuesday - High on Fire / Kvelertak
Thursday - either Church of Misery or Absu (really tough decision!)

If the High on Fire show hasn't sold out by the time I get home from work, I'll probably go see that.

Being artsy and playing Verizon doesn't sound like he is not meeting his profit goals.  Who would go to see the Pixies without Kim Deal?  They only have one song from the last 20 years and Kim Deal sang it. And they have done tons of shows over the  past few years.

that is twice today i have seen someone quote someone elses post, but then add nothing to it, so its just a big white picture of a billboard.  is it done because the person agrees with said post and wants to really emphasize it?

A couple maybes, and a probably; this might be a zero show week.

Maybe Shannon and the Clams tomorrow
Maybe Mono Wednesday
Probably Danny Brown on Sunday

Holding out hope that I can pick up a cheaper ticket to Kanye on Thursday because I would LOVE to see this show. Also debating Slayer on Tuesday (though doubtful) and Bonnie Prince Billy on Friday.

Has anyone heard anything in particular about the BPB show? As in, will he have the same band he had at 6th and I or have a band at all?
