- Wild Horses Couldn't Sell Those Cheap Seats: Charles Attal must be having some trouble filling those far corners of Zilker Park, because KGSR sent out an email this week offering four Rolling Stones tickets and four concert T-Shirts for $199. If you're keeping score, this is roughly half of the original $95 ticket cost. If you'd like to take advantage of the offer, head over here.
- New Concerts Going On Sale his week: Regina Spektor at Antone's on 11/10, The Pretenders at Austin Music Hall on 11/16, Kasabian at La Zona Rosa on 11/20, and Imogen Heap and Magnet at La Zona Rosa on 11/25. We kind of expect Zach Braff to appear as a roadie on that last one.
- Think Drugstore Cowboy, Not Gerry: The Cowboy Nemo Arts Festival tomorrow will feature music from Brothers and Sisters along with some rare shorts from Gus Van Zandt. Cover is just $10, and that coffee is good.
- And Finally, Help Raise A Snarky Hipster: Cool parents already purchased See You On The Moon this year, but there's a new indie-kiddo disc featuring Four Tet, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, and many more. Pitchfork has the lowdown on Colours Are Brighter.

Hey, anybody wanna buy my four extra Stones tickets at face value?
Oh crap, nevermind...
THOSE STONES ARE NOT REAL, THEY ARE ROBOTS. WHEN I WAS IN THE MILITARY I WORKED AT A FACTORY THAT MADE THEM. THEN THEY ESCAPED AND BLENDED IN WITH THE POPULATION, BUT A LOT OF US BELIEVE THEY MORPHED INTO THE ROLLING STONES.
IF THEY PLAY FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS THEN YOU"LL KNOW JUBCHA WAS RIGHT ONCE AGAIN.
Man, I'm was already enjoying all the desperate wannabe scalpers on Craigslist trying to sell their tickets for face value and their lame stories to earn sympathy ("my dad's getting remarried so now my family has to go to Minnesota that weekend so we have 12 tickets to sell" -- yeah, whatever). Having the chance to buy 4 legit tickets from TM plus 4 t-shirts for around $63 per person after the service charges get factored in is a scream. I encourage anyone and everyone to wait until the last minute and just buy tickets from the multitude of lost souls hanging around Barton Springs Road the day of the show--you'll score tix for under $50 for sure, especially if you hold out for the opening act (Ian McLagan) to take the stage.
JOHN: SEE THEM NOW BECAUSE IN 25 YEARS THE TIX WILL COST $250 PER SEAT.
AND YOU WON'T EVEN GET A FREE TEE.
