In [164]: df = DataFrame(randn(10, 1))

In [165]: concat([df[0], df], axis=1)

throws an AttributeError. It should just say something about incompatible types in concat.

I wonder if it's worth allowing mixed types where it makes sense. E.g., concat-ing a Series and a DataFrame. It might be more consistent with the fact that Series is now an NDFrame.
