cryptique

Jules is too busy walking the earth.

I'm one of the old-schoolers who thought they went into their decline the moment they left I.R.S. The first time I heard Green I was devastated, because there was just so much crap on that record, and I realized that my fears about the band's direction as mapped out on Document were coming true. I found much of Out of Time to be annoying, and Automatic For the People was good but was still cast from this "new" R.E.M. mold that I'd never come to terms with -- the frenetic energy that initially made them who they were had long since dissipated, and I just didn't think the songs they were writi

Finally embarked on this voyage yesterday:

I'm a big Michigan fan but there's no way they should be ranked as highly as they are (#12 AP, #11 USA Today). Their 5-0 record earns them a place somewhere in the top 25, but I'm not sure they could beat any of the other teams in either poll.

Yeah, that was a fantastic bonus -- I'd been a fan for years and figured I'd never get a chance to actually see him play live. Really glad Neil brought him out on tour. RIP, Bert.

You do not want to mess with me on the subject of the English language.

If you entitle a message board thread "If you tell someone to sit down at a Wilco concert, you pretty much suck at life," you pretty much suck at life.

Oh, it's a photograph. A photograph of a painting.

Weird. I hear Wilco.

For me, the chief difference between Wilco and Radiohead is that I enjoy listening to Wilco.

Not buying this explanation. Put "Whole Love" at the end of that same side and it's the same sequence as the CD, no change to the length of side 3.

Adding a bonus track ... I get that. But I don't get why "Whole Love" was moved. It has nothing to do with fitting on four sides -- side 3 would be the same length even if the sequence were the same as the CD.

Says the caveman.
