Off The Road Again: No One Coming Out To Play

With the weather getting colder and the roads getting slicker it seems the end of year show cancellations are starting to pile up, I just got word that the Coup and Mr. Lif got into a car crash that put a screeching halt to their current tour and David Berman and The Silver Jews cancelled their last two shows of their year. According to the website, they are going through "winterization" according to popular opinion, Berman is going through a major case of stage fright. More on that (via Tinymixtapes) here.

Taking their cancellations and raising them, Robert Pollard has announced he will no longer be touring.

"This is not to say I'll never play another show again, but this touring thing is too much," the ex-Guided By Voices frontman tells Billboard.com. "It's too hard to psychologically re-energize yourself each night."
