Joe’s Pub Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

Joe’s Pub Header
Still mourning the loss of Passing Strange, Stew and Crew are participating in the 10 for the 10th celebration at Joe’s Pub. Please check here for a full list of dates. There is some very convoluted way to get free tickets on the site. But you have to sign up for something, then select something , the go back and find out if you were choosen for something. They make it very easy just to pay for tickets. Also performing and the cast of Hair, Aimee Mann, Budos Band, Debbie Harry and more.

I sure hope I get picked for tickets.

UPDATE:
Here’s what sucks about Joe’s Pub ticket giveaway, I got this email earlier today
“Hello Joe’s Pub Patrons –

Unfortunately, an error occurred with the distribution of the tickets for our 10 for 10th Free shows. Many Patrons were awarded tickets to shows they did not sign up for.

We have fixed this problem, however it required us to do another random drawing of names for the Free Tickets for all shows. We sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm and your continuing patience with us as we work with this new virtual line system.

Please click here to sign-in again and see if you received a pair of Free tickets to the show(s) you signed up for. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Jo on behalf of Joe’s Pub”

The email above bolsters my complaints about their Free Ticketing! Some people got tickets for show’s that they did not even sign up for! Did they give those people give tickets back? I’m not sure I would. Hell I would put those tickets on ebay. But wait there’s more I got this email later in the day:

” …Unfortunately, you have not won tickets to the show(s) you signed up for in the new drawing, but please consider joining a STANDBY LINE for any show – details below.”

Then an offer to sign up for a stand by list. I understand nothing comes for free, but sheesh. Stop dangling the carrot if you can’t actually ever eat it.

Did any one actually get these “free” tickets?

Fannypack is back!… Thank God

Fannypack Promo
RCRDLBL is hosting a new Fannypack track Hit it here.
I have been wondering where these girls have been. I figured they passed their GED and now were off taking community college classes somewhere deep in Brooklyn. Alas they seem to have been working on some new shit.

Favor: Matt and Fancy- please do not, not put the girls on the cover of the next record. Seems like a missed opportunity

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
