  1. I think that Bruce will likely exercise all of his options in the next few years. I think there'll be another Devils and Dust type record, I think there is unfinished work with the Seeger Sessions band, and no one has said anything about the E Street Band calling it a day. The big question mark is Clarence's health. He's 7 or 8 years older than the rest of the band and I don't know how many more marathon shows he has in him. He, to me is the one completely and totally irreplaceable member of the band. As for Tracks 2 and other archives, there's loads and loads of it, some quite good to great.
  2. looks like somebody beat me to the punch. been looking forward to this for a long time. the in studio recording and rehearsel footage sounds incredible. hopefully tracks 2 is next after this is released.
  3. first thing: Mott the Hoople - "Born Late 58" 2nd: Bright Eyes - "First day of my Life" 3rd: Bob Dylan - "Talking Bear Mountain" 4th: Bruce Springsteen - "Johnny Bye Bye" 5th: Jeff Tweedy & Jay Bennett - "California Stars" (live) 6th: David Bowie - "Watch That Man" 7th: Drive By Truckers -"Life in the Factory" 8th: Bob Dylan - "Father of Night" 9th: KISS - "Got to Choose" (live) 10th: The Boys - "Kamikaze"
  4. A little birdie told me that two whoppers were soundchecked: "Say You Miss Me," and "Kicking Television." Sounds like an exciting night is in the works.
  5. The below article was in a free weekly here in Louisville: "Mad Women" When “Mad Men” ended its third season, the main “Mad” women were in transition.Bored housewife Betty Draper was in the process of divorcing advertising mystic Don Draper, and was last seen flying off with her kids and new politician fiancé. Brainy bombshell Joan Harris, after realizing her seemingly perfect doctor husband really was a nightmare, returned to work with the ad men at Sterling Cooper Draper Price. And ad woman Peggy Olson was making real progress in being taken seriously by her chauvinistic co-workers a
  6. have you listened to the cd? It might be bonus tracks. Thanks I get, one true vine, etc.
  7. anybody who plans on going wanna carpool with me from the kentucky or ohio area? i'm driving from louisville, ky through cincy, columbus, cleveland and then up and across. send me a pm if so, i'd love to share driving and gas costs. take care, greg
  8. Watching now, so far a little slow for a season opener, but I dig Draper being into getting slapped around.
  9. Saw it, loved it, whether taken as totally literal or in many of the theories explored in this thread and others. I think I'm finally prepared to state that Leo might be my favorite actor, say under the age of 45. His early films such as: Gibert Grape, Basketball Diaries and This Boy's Life all are top notch, and his Scorsese films have ranged from good: the Aviator and Gangs of New York to great: The Departed. Revolutionary Road and Blood Diamond were two other great films. He's really starting to be very consistent and I'm likely to go see a film just because he's in it, a rarity for me and
  10. if that happened to me, i'd firstly vomit all over myself, then leave the stage immediately, fans be damned.
  11. What a ridiculously hard thing this started out to be, but once I stopped trying to list the technical, cultural, historical "best" albums, and just made a list of the records that have personally meant the most to me, it was a lot of fun. Trust me, I don't dispute that "Pink Moon" is better than the first KISS record, but that first KISS record meant the world to me when I was a little kid. I'm embaressed to put Meatloaf on the list, but only one album by the Beatles, Neil Young, Dylan; but that fucking Meatloaf album was great for crusing the city with my best friend when I was a young teena
  12. Louisville, Ky. A 14 hour solo drive through Ohio, western PA, New York and into Mass. My birthday is on the 12th, hell of a birthday weekend.
  13. Kot needs to release the new and expanded Learning How to Die as lots has happened since it left off: The new lineup, the Residency, 2 studio albums and a live album, Jay's death, the further demise of the record industry and Wilco's future sans label. There's gotta be 4 or 5 new chapters in there.
  14. Wilco played their first show in Richmond in 13 years this year! MMJ just announced a show here in Louisville, their hometown, it will be their first in over 2 years. To me this is close to a non-story, but then again I'm commenting on it.
  15. Freedom Hall is still there, in the middle of the city as part of the Kentucky state fairgrounds, but this is the new arena downtown which will primarily host UofL mens and women's basketball. This will be the 2nd ever event at the (gulp) Yum Center, after an earlier concert by the Eagles.
  16. This is some of the most exciting news I've heard in a long time. The presale is on my birthday, and it's in my hometown and it's in the new arena. Holy smokes this is gonna be one for the ages. Hope some of ya'll will make it in for this. My Morning Jacket to Play Long Awaited Hometown Show With Very Special Guests, The Louisville Youth Orchestra and Wax Fang On Friday, October 29th, My Morning Jacket will be performing at University of Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center. Supporting the band will be the Louisville Youth Orchestra (LYO) and Louisville band Wax Fang. One dollar from every ticket
  17. "Look Out Cleveland a storm is coming thorough and it's runnin' right up on you." He really drives me as crazy as any athlete ever, but i love to watch him play and would love, love, love to have him as a Knick. As has been mentioned it would be somewhat of a copout if he only started winning titles by joining two other all stars, in NY, Cleveland or really even chicago he would be the man, not so sure Wade wouldn't be in Miami, seeing that he's already got one ring. Oh yeah check out my flickr link below for some Lebron related images from my trip to Cleveland this past weekend, quite th
  18. Wilco are extremely fortunate to be in the situation they are. I just read a rather depressing interview with Ted Leo where he says that in the future he wont be able to tour anywhere near as much as he has as he can't economically sustain it anymore. He's on his third different label on succesive releases as the two before both folded. He furthermore said that he was going to have to get a day job in the near future and that music would be a lesser part of his life.
  19. Looks like the Knicks aren't waiting around, Amare Stoudemire has verbally agreed. He will undoubtedly be the best player since Ewing in New York. Here's hoping there's still another big gun coming to the Garden.
  20. Happened last year in Athens as well. I'm not joking when I say that I don't think most of the audience knew who they were.
  21. Kentucky is going to have 5 players drafted in the first round tomorrow night including John Wall the definitive choice for the #1 overall pick to the Bullets, err I mean Wizards.
  22. 1. Dirty Mind 2. Purple Rain 3. Sign O' The Times 4. 1999 5. Controversy 6. Around The World In a Day 7. the Black Album 8. self-titled 9. For You 10.Parade
  23. I've started some sketches and I'm having a tough time distinguishing between personal favorites and what I consider to be "best albums." it would be easy to load a list with Dylan, the Beatles, Neil Young etc, but I think I'm gonna go with albums that have been of personal meaning to me. Going this route means I'll have more than a few albums that likely no one else on the board will have ever heard of. I'm thinking of old Louisville punk and hardcore bands that probably never sold more than a few 100 records, but damn if I don't still listen to some of those 20 year old records as if they we
  24. Well, that was some of the toughest and ugliest basketball I've seen this side of the old Pistons of the late 80's for three plus quarters. But, the last six or so minutes of the game was nearly a thing of beauty. Almost every player on the court for both teams made big play after big play, and then those last two minutes were epic, back and forth with the threes and big time baskets:Rondo, Artest, Ray Allen, Fisher, just wow! Lots of speculation that both Phil and Doc are gonna call it quits at their respective teams, we'll see. Artest of all was the difference maker, quite a dramatic redempt
  25. Bynum's pretty much been out the whole series, so that's a wash. Perkins is a tough, physical player and without him the Lakers ran roughshed in the paint. That dunk Farmar had on Garnett was the sickest thing I've seen in awhile. I look for it to be tighhter, but still I anticipate an 8-10 point laker victory. Kobe picks up his 2nd straight Finals MVP and 5th ring.
