i reaaallly want to see daft punk. but i dont even get out of work until 5, meaning id pretty much just catch lcd and daft. unfortunately, i dont think its worth 80 bucks (not to mention lcd ends at the exact same time daft starts. idiotic). i think ill just save my money and do pitchfork instead.

I do like War very much. "Seconds" is great...another one they never play live

I've just never understood the hate for these albums. Its totally unjustified. Zooropa, Dirty Day, The Wanderer, Please, Do You Feel Loved, Discotheque, Gone, Last Night On Earth, Mofo...all among their best work. And I hate the fact that they refuse to play ANY of it live. Their attitude was different back then too. Sure, they dated supermodels, put on stage shows that almost bankrupt them, used alteregos, and wore outrageous clothes, but the whole point was that it was IRONIC. Now, they've totally lost sight of that and actually become what they used to poke fun at.

awesome. i still cant let myself live down the fact that i skipped their performance at lolla last year.

dont get me wrong, the 80s stuff is good. but it was awesome when they were pushing boundaries in the 90s. the last 2 are absolute trash, and ive pretty much lost any respect i mite have had for bono.

the only u2 albums ive been a huge fan of was their 90's trifecta (achtung/zooropa/pop).

yes, there were one day tickets. i think they went on sale a month or so before the show.

yea, that whole show is incredible. i actually havent seen that one before.

Ernest Hemingway- The Old Man and the Sea

I love this performance of "The Way He Sings

The Prairie Cartel

And damn its pretty awesome. I've always been a fan of their instrumental stuff, so I was eagerly anticipating this. Does not disappointed.

Completely agree. I have never understood all the heat that park has taken. Is it the best in the majors? No. But it is definitely far from worst. A solid upper-middle of the packer. When the park first opened, it was praised and everyone loved it. It wasnt until the whole "retro" phase kicked in immediately thereafter (i.e. Camden Yards) that suddenly everyone turned against it. Personally, I dont like the retros...dripping with fake tacky nostalgia, looking backwards rather than forward. And now theres a glut of those cookie cutter designs. When the Cell opened it was rather sterile. But the

the first wilco song i fell in love with

personally, im glad the song was left out. i was never a fan of it. i dont get the selling out shit. they're on a label owned by a massive conglomerate. its not as if they're on a truly independent label like touch and go, or going the DIY route. if you're going to cry "sellout", then i hope you were saying the same the day they signed to warner.

At least I think thats what I was watching. They interviewed him on a segment they did about the record industry and more bands going DIY. Also showed some very brief live clips.

which was?

"3's & 7's" enjoy.

i was there for that, very awesome.

madrid will be a no-no after london. tokyo has hosted before, and asia will have the games in 2008. the real competition will be rio. and if they land the '14 fifa world cup, chicagos odds go up higher. i think its chicagos games to lose. also, chicago is still relatively undiscovered throughout the rest of the world, despite being an alpha world city (the highest classification). there is a large curiosity factor. polls show support for chicago games among residents around 80-85%.

ive never understood why people are so opposed to the games. its at most a month of inconvenience, while the rewards will last a lifetime. i think people who say they dont want the games because of traffic, being crowded, etc, are being pretty selfish. this is something for the greater good. if it means things like improvements for mass transit and other infastructure can be fastracked, im all for it. i just cant understand something as drastic as moving because a sporting event would come to town. seems like an ovveraction to me, even if you are opposed to it.

i am so there (again). these bands are gonna rock my socks; Daft Punk Iggy Pop My Morning Jacket LCD Soundsystem Son Volt The Roots TV On The Radio Yo La Tengo !!! Ted Leo/ Pharmacists The Rapture Sparklehorse Interpol The Hold Steady i dont see how anyone could hate on this lineup. plus, by my count theres still 45 more to go

im about 99% sure that NOT wrigley. its walls look like a wooden fence as well as being exposed to the outside, their bathrooms dont look like that.
