Updated concerts: Presale info on M. Ward, Antony

Every time I read one of Stephen King’s music-centric columns for Entertainment Weekly, I’m baffled.
I mean, the guy started his latest roundup of the top 10 albums of the year saying he doesn’t know how to write about music. That’s sign No. 1 maybe he shouldn’t.
Regardless, some of his picks are solid: Girl Talk is awesome, and Coldplay’s latest album, which has its faults, is a solid listen.
Other picks seem like the choices of an older rock fan who feels more comfortable with voices he already knows: Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, Al Green, the Pretenders, AC/DC and Randy Newman end up representing half his list. (Even Girl Talk’s “Feed the Animals” — which again is awesome — uses tons of samples from past decades in its mash-ups, which I’m sure is part of the reason the album hits King’s so-called sweet spot.)
Worst of all, dude puts Buckcherry at No. 1. I have a little trouble with that.
But speaking of Buckcherry, tickets for the group’s upcoming show go on sale Saturday. (See, this all ties together.) For details, read on.
Worth noting: No ticket prices include service fees, and I don’t have all the presale passwords yet. If you do, toss them in the comments section, and if I get them, I’ll update this post, post haste.
