Thank you, Myspace

So, I just made my bi-monthly login to myspace and found out that one of my “friends” 
Ryan Adams (*swoon*) will be hitting the road at the end of June in support of his new album Easy Tiger. Although I haven’t heard anything yet, I’ve read good things about the album in Harp. And I’ve been wanting to see Ryan live since I first heard Heartbreaker a few years ago. (Yeah, yeah, I’m generally a little behind the curve on some of these things.)
The Philly show is scheduled for Thursday June 28th at the TLA, which seems like just the right venue to me, since its small but not too small, has a couple of bars, some seating, and healthy area for bopping about. But Ticketbastards tells me that tix are gonna run $35 a pop. Okay… it’s no Barbra Streisand price… but that’s a little steeper than I’m used to. I’m also kinda cheap, so maybe the price is just right. Either way, I’m going.
And, Ryan tells me (through Myspace, of course) that I can get advance access to tix by pre-ordering the album at iTunes. Since I’m going to be driving tomorrow at noon when the tix go on sale, I’m thinking this might be the way to go. Otherwise, I’ll go through a sweaty-palmed paranoia all day wondering if it will or won’t sell out before my appointed envoy gets through to purchase tickets on my behalf.

For those that don’t know, Adams also has Cardinals Radio on his website. This is where you can hear all his music, including the shit he’s made during bouts of insomnia.
His attempts as DJ Reggie are especially entertaining. Check out “Sexfuck,” though I don’t remember which DJ Reggie album it’s off of.

[…] not even get me started on the “pre-order for advance tickets” scam (as alluded to in this post). Because the fine print was that it was for shows *in the fall* which is kind of easy to […]
