Finishing off the trilogy.  Can't wait to see her at the Vancouver Writer's Festival next month. 

I Am Trying to Break Your Website: The Largo Story

I guess Tweedy and the gang could walk on water and some people would still not be satisfied.

Meh.  It's been done.

"I do sense resentment from certain types of fans, yeah."

The artist doth project a little.

I come here only to torture myself.  Lucky people!  

That my be the most fantastic video I've ever seen!!!

Gotta love Expo 67! This song has it's own Wikipedia page, if you can believe it.

Someone ties a bow

In my backyard to show me love

Love the ascot and moustache on Mikael.

Very deranged millionaire.

I think the was Wilco's first indoor show here since 2007.

I think the last indoor show was at the Orpheum in 2004 (AC Newman opened). Crazy!

Really fun show! First time I've seen an audience at the Orpheum on their feet from beginning to end. Snuck down the aisle during the encore and saw a lot of air guitar and 'Snoopy dancing' in the front rows. One security guy seemed pretty into it, as well. Nice to see Vancouver let loose and give them the love they deserve.

Really getting excited for the Vancouver show this weekend. Hard to believe it's been nearly two (!) years since we've had the pleasure.

The forecast looks promising, so maybe you'll finally get to see those beautiful snow capped mountains, bbop. Japadog, poutine, and Nanaimo bar custard await you!

Jeff's comment last night was even more hilarious: Well, it looks like we've divided our audience.....the standers and the sitters (huge applause). I'm not going to choose a side. It's like a red state/blue state thing. I know where *I* stand!" (HUGE applause) Pretty sure it was right before "Can't Stand It", which made it all the funnier when they got to the chorus.

That's great.

I remember getting shit from a guy at a show in Victoria, BC because I stood up during Broken Arrow (he deemed this song unstandworthy, I suppose). My American companions were confused when I apologized to him, not understanding that in Canada,"Sorry" = "Eat it!"

BRILLIANT. I AM IN LOVE.

Also,

And

Kaputt is way too yacht rock for me, and i like steely dan.

To me, Kaputt is more Bryan Ferry.

02 Destroyer - Kaputt

Everything about this album is awesome - including the cover (http://lpwtf.tumblr....autifully-bored). I hadn't paid much attention to Destroyer since This Night, so Kaputt really blew my mind. "Whoa, how did we get from there to here?" I played it nonstop for months.

One perk of living in Vancouver is (sometimes) understanding what Dan Bejar is singing about.

Welcome gogo!

Happy Canada Day!

William Shatner Sings O Canada

Certainly a disappointing week for Vancouver fans. Thomas has been outstanding, and Luongo... not so much. On the bright side, Vancouver has recaputered some of the spirit of 2010. It has been fun to see people wearing Canuck jerseys to work, flying flags and decorating public art and monuments for the occasion. The streets are deserted and the bars and fan zones are packed. My boss gave us permission to leave early when the Canucks play so we can get home before the puck drops. Honestly, it's hard to bitch.

Neil visits "Youngtown"

Believe it or not, Omemee is on Street View! The museum is right across the street from the Legion.

Paul has a great appreciation for the finer things in life: Wilco, good food, fine wine, Canadian accents, mischief, public art...
