why must the show be in october?? why? why must the god of rock and roll make me wait that long?
i'm excited.
A large menacing birdie told me that efforts are being made to get the Pixies onboard for this year's Uptown Mix. The Flaming Lips were a HUGE draw last year (and Wilco before that) and I'd think the organizers would be in agreement that this would probably be the biggest show in the history of the Mix. We will see if it happens. Either way, I'm going to be in Hotlanta in October!

That would be out of control, if you ask me. While it's true that they've had some big shows there before, the Pixies would be TOO big for that setup. They'd have to shut down Division Street and probably Grand Ave and 19th Ave, too, if they wanted to have a show that big.
