$ydonie	Jun 4 2008 1:13 PM Hey i got this email from the local record shop... this is you ! well i'll be damned! now you have to come to italy! The War On Drugs "Wagonwheel blues" Secretly Canadian Dalle strade di Philadelphia un nuovo assaggio di quello che è il perfetto songbook americano. Echi di gioventù sonica nelle tessiture chitarristiche e rimandi ai grandi autori americani, Bruce Springsteen e Tom Petty su tutti, nelle melodie vocali come nelle liriche. Un manipolo di canzoni ispirate ad un'epopea ormai classica.
tniemiec	Jun 3 2008 1:25 AM Youse guys have a great summer! Was good to see youse in da windy city!
battle	May 25 2008 2:12 AM Picture a girl, a little bit sad, all by herself, sitting on her couch, sipping tea, knitting, watching movies, popping hydrocodone while trying to breathe through her right nostril, and seriously missing you guys. Great to see you (and meet you). Come back much sooner, and feel free to sleep on my couches and make me breakfast and French press coffee any time!
Windmill Brixton	May 24 2008 9:59 AM So pleased that you're playing our place on 20th August - we've been playing Wagonwheel Blues every night for the past two weeks and people are loving it. Londoners come along but you'll almost certainly need a ticket: www. wegottickets. com/event/31716
~erika	May 23 2008 3:58 AM Had a blast at your show tonight. You guys are unbelievable 'live'. Can't wait to see you again...
The Once Was	May 17 2008 1:43 PM you guys are the fucking shit i love listening to your shit and getting fucking pumped
pete	May 15 2008 5:46 PM please come back to Northampton some time, don't hate us. Wagonwheel Blues is great! Best of luck and safe travels for the rest of the tour.
Marc Pinansky	May 8 2008 7:29 PM Hey, Adam. It's Marc (formerly of Tulsa). I heard you a ton on the Sirius yesterday and thought I'd look you up. My van was busted into a few months back and all the CDs in there were stolen. Among the thieved was the copy of your stuff that you gave me at SXSW 2007. It looks like it ended up in the hands of Secretly Canadian (unless they masterminded the whole thing from the start)and they have released it. Just giving you a heads up that you may want to find yourself a good lawyer. It's a crazy world man, best of luck.
Gianmarco Cilli	May 8 2008 11:32 PM I'm loving these new tracks. The album sounds amazing. It's going to be big. I can feel it.
jenkins	May 1 2008 6:10 AM adam apple
Katie L. Thompson	Apr 22 2008 7:14 PM I wasn't going to go see Bishop Allen since the Teeth canceled but since you're playing......maybe I will. I like you.
