Nicely done too.

I haven't heard of Xeni Jardin, am I completely out of it?
Xeni Jardin is not known as well as Boing Boing is.

Boing Boing made a video when Amoeba Records invited Xeni Jardin to pick a handful of items she's excited about.
Watch video here:

She chose:
Alan Lomax in Haiti box-set
N.A.S.A. "Spirit of Apollo"
Q-Burns Abstract Message and Eighth Dimension Records
Wilco (The Album)
Pronto, "All is Golden"
Die Antwoord!
I like how she proudly admits she subscribes to the churh of Wilco. ...and that Die Antwoord is really strange.

Walkup Records and veteran reggae artist Bigga Haitian have announced that they will donate all proceeds from online sales of “I Am A Haitian” from his forthcoming CD, Sak Pasé to Yéle Haiti to assist in the relief efforts in Haiti.

Jackie Greene put a free 3-song EP containing his versions of "Sugaree," "New Speedway Boogie" and "Brokedown Palace" on his web site.

No offense, but that was a pretty damn obviously sarcastic reference to SITA and ITMWLY being pretty much the guaranteed songs in a Wilco set.
That's exactly why I thought it was dumb.
Actually I dont give a fat turd anymore either
PHphphphphphphpfffffffffffart! aaahh.
-
Did you seriously not catch the EXTREMELY obvious sarcasm in BW's post?
Actually no, I didn't. The way he writes, I can't tell if he's sarcastic or just dumb.
-
You know, Jessie, it's possible to be a Wilco fan AND feel that the band's current output is boring. Just sayin'.
I'm have My New School on right now, doesn't sound boring to me at all. Maybe I'm not listening hard enough.
-
I thought the quotation marks around great would've been a dead giveaway.
I'm just not interested in seeing them play live again until they start playing "Shot in the Arm" and
"I'm the Man Who Loves You" again.
Read that.
Now think really hard.
Write back and tell me if you think it was a joke.
Thanks! I thought about it and came to the conclusion that you don't know what you're talking about. You don't want to see Wilco play live again until they start playing "Shot in the Arm" and "I'm the Man Who Loves You"?
Do you realize they just played both those songs in the same show less than a month ago? See link:

The world is only big enough for one Steely Dan and they still do a fine job of bieng themselves.
Wilco should do the same.
Steely Dan is boring.
-
Wilco post A Ghost Is Born is boring.
I mean this for live shows and recordings....
....Playing "great" live shows that consist of thirty songs out of whatever doesn't make up for boring records.
If it's so great live then stop making records.
Here is another contradiction of yours; or is this just a joke also.
You start with "boring live shows" then you finish with the "live shows are great."
-
It's really a shame to me that Wilco has become a paint by numbers rock band.
I really liked them from Being There to Ghost.
I guess I'm just not ready for these brave musical steps they are taking these days.
How can they be "a paint by numbers rock band" and "take brave musical steps" at the same time?
You disappoint...and confuse me.
-
There is nothing on the last two records that is new or exciting musically in any way.
Off the top of my head I'd say that Bull Black Nova is far from boring.
-
Just in case he does:
Hi Jeff! Could Wilco please play Sacramento, California soon? Thanks
-
I think Phil has earned the right to do whatever he damn well pleases. Even (or especially) when he wears tie die shirts like that.
... he is obviously doing whatever he pleases.

Looks like Paste Mag thinks Pearl Jam is the new GD.

nora guthrie is such a pain in the ass. they're not her songs, they're her dad's. i thought julian lennon and hank williams III were annoying offspring, but she takes the cake.
...or is she a genius?
-
Maybe Robert Hunter and Jeff have similar writing styles. Lyrically they both go deep and leave things open to interpretation.
I certaintly wouldn't call it happy.
-
playing Ripple (5/29/99 Calaveras, CA)
Man! Phil shouldn't be an invited singing guest. He should be alowed on stage only if he picks up his bass.

Maybe some day in the future somebody will post an etiquette thread and then somebody will link to this thread which has a link to the current thread which has a link to the really old thread.
Actually I like this subject because some how the most annoying people find me. I generally go with the "hey, 'it's a rock show" attitude. Some how I always get pushed back to the corner where I'm next to both the garabage and isle where non-stop people seem to flow from. I start the show with my feet firmly planted in the most optimal spot for sound and sight the suddenly I'm in the hallway.

There was a link within your link of an even older thread.

The interviewer says that Wilco's new album represents "grown-up" music. And Jeff kinda goes along with it. I've always thought Wilco was sort of grown-up music as compared to most popular music. Jeff's inteligently written lyrics always left me thinking that this music is emotionally deeper than anything I've heard in a long time. It may have been interpreted as "angst" but it was still at a deeper level than say an angst driven band like Limp Bizkit. Jeff may have grown personally and gotten healthier, and the band may have grown, but the music remains at an adult intellegence level. I do't agree with the whole "Wilco has grown-up" label because I always thought Wilco had matured way ahead of their peers in the first place. I agree that the new album is cleaner and simpler but Jeff's music has always been emotionally honest and to me that is being "grown-up." His honesty can be alarming, but so can the truth.

That is a really cool radio station. I dig it.
Wilco to do Daytrotter session
in Just A Fan
Posted
Now it's almost a month later. I just checked the daytrotter website and nothing new. But in 2007 they reviewed the Davenport, Iowa show.
They also did artwork for the article of ZOMBIE TWEEDY:
