I've become quite lax in my concert ticket buying lately. I used to be the guy who was on the phone or in front of his keyboard at 10 am on Saturday morning when the tickets went on sale for every show. I remember spending over three hours on hold while trying to get tickets for the Tibetan Freedom Concert (the Washington, D.C. one), and I got them. However, in the past few months I've missed shows by Feist, Supergrass, U2, Belle & Sebastian and the upcoming Ted Leo, and Arctic Monkeys shows since they were sold out before I decided to fork over the $20. I know about these shows well in advance, most still before the tickets are on sale. I even remember checking on the availability of tickets for one of this week's Belle & Sebastian/New Pornographers shows at Avalon, and there were tickets available. I have no idea why I didn't buy one or two. At least I'll still get to see Charlene, The Pogues, and Franz Ferdinand over the next month or so. I'm sure I'll also be kicking myself a bit more for missing B&S by listening to today's Here and Now interview with Stewart Murdoch.
In lieu of actually going to see Ted Leo again this weekend, I posted some pictures from one of his many Boston-area shows last year at the Somerville Theater. It's amazing how much this guy can tour and how he can sell it out every time. Plus, he has (or had) the same phone as me, so he gets even more cool points. Not that his scorecard isn't already overflowing with cool points.

The Pogues are coming to Boston?! Sans Shane MacGowan?

WITH Shane MacGowan. It's their first tour as a full band, which I assume means with him, in 12 years or so. They're playing two shows at the Orpheum just before St. Patty's Day. Unfortunately, they're both sold out.
