ive got a few options:

 

(to accompany erin, who will actually be Wendy...im still not exactly sure how i'd pull it off)

 

 

(i think one of our friends has already claimed this one actually)

 

i cant wait for halloween this year..im glad i'll be around finally. last year i was in madison for a soccer tournament and got to experience the craziness in those parts. lots of fun, lots of chaos, lots of drunken acts of stupidity (and hilarity)..and some kickass costumes

and here i am:

i've gotta find that freaking shirt and dye my hair red soon...

i still regret not getting that amazingly awesome striped wilco shirt at the only concert i've ever seen it. grrrr. great pic though.

been another great year jen, hopefully there'll be a few more shows this time around, but we're starting things off right with the oct. 6 show i'm thinking. i am getting so excited, i miss you very much, and sorry your calls weren't working the other day!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to such a great friend and such an admirable person.

I'm the one in the green jacket:

I'm going to become the AHAAH version of AWATT. So let's see.....AAHAAHATT?

hahah that's awesome. i'm assuming that's new, yeah? sa-weeeet!

Am I the only one here who's had enough of that dude?

i've only read sex, drugs, & cocoa puffs and found the humor and references to pop culture interesting and amusing, so i am looking forward to reading more. who knows if another book will be the stopping point, of if i'll read the rest after, but i did enjoy the one i read and thought it was very clever.

 

Picked this up today.

woohoo!!! i just got it too. haven't started it yet though, but am very excited.

 

Bukowski - Post Office

cool, read a lot of bukowski this year. got that one for xmas but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. my stack is getting bigger and bigger.

any word on the Factotum movie? i oppose to their decision to use matt dillan to play an ugly seedy greasy drunkard, but who knows, maybe he'll pull off the seedy greasy drunkard part alright.

it's been a while with this one. while i got it recently after it ws released, it was about this time last year though that i saw them live and got incredibly addicted to this album.

that looks cool, is it interesting?

I couldn't believe this when I heard about it this morning. I was taken back at just how much it affected me. This is truly sad. This world will miss his energy.

 

RIP Steve.

same sentiments here. celebrity deaths don't hit me usually, but everytime this one crosses my mind it makes me unusually sad. somehow, though in danger all the time, it seemed unexpected to me. i'll miss the joy that doing crocodile hunter impressions brought me in 8th grade, and that it can never be the same without our man steve.

good crocodile hunter memory: one episode where this very old croc they called "grandma" or something was on the last leg of her life, and the whole episode was about how to take care of her,etc. and when she finally died, it showed steve in tears talking about her as truly a great part of his life, and how he loved that croc as much as he loved his wife. it was so sad and moving, but it made me laugh thinking of what his wife would think when she saw it.

I know they have many many dates scheduled for spring/summer after the new record comes out in February. They also may or may not be opening a bunch of dates for Modest Mouse.

eek, i kind of hope they're not on the bill with modest mouse for too many shows. i've alwys wanted to see them in an intimate setting with their fans, it would be incredible. great opportunity with this interview...good luck, sorry i don't have any questions, i'm not so good at that. please post about the experience and your article when it's done!

It never seems like David Bowie gets enough love around here. Maybe after he sues Wilco for stealing the intro to "Oh! You Pretty Things" and tacking it on to "Walken."

hahah i've always thought that sounded very similar. i love that song (oh! you pretty things). i'm thinking i might take my senior quote this year from the song Kooks

Bowie, David - Dory, Hunky

hunky dory=one of my favorite albums ever.

NP:

i think this is the first time i've decided to sit down and get through this whole thing. exciting!!

Maybe on paper, but don't kid yourself...the mean streets of Palatine, ILLinois are a motherfucker.

whoa man, i used to live in palatine! those streets are pretty crazy, without a doubt.

and also, that website is great, i especially loved the will sheff ones. put me on another of my okkervil river kicks.

 

holy shit i think i might have done a complete 180 on her with this record... her voice is much more Billie Holiday than Lisa Simpson this time around, and the music is equally as gorgeous...

 

bit worried about the length of some of these songs (17 minutes!!!!) but through track 1, so far so good

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think I hear a Wilco song every time I walk into Chipotle.

and none of them are songs i'd expect to hear either...i've never heard anything from any of wilco's main releases, it's always stuff like Promising and When The Roses Bloom Again

working man's blues #2 might be the best song he's written in 20 yrs.

agreed. i love it, and i also love beyond the horizon...but not in the same way as workingman's blues #2. i do enjoy the album, but those two are definately standout tracks for me.

about to play:

milwaukee next thursday!

Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) will be doing a stand up show at Weed's in Chicago (1555 n. dayton) Tuesday night. Tickets are only $7. I really want to see him, but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. here's a link.Article Is anyone planning on going? I love Fred Armisen, I hope I can magically make it to this show.

anyone going to milwaukee?? i'm looking forward to it so much.

tortoise-a lazarus taxon

Reminder-Continuum...just got it tonight...it's awesome

But it doesn't include my favourite song!

seriously, how did he not know?! no way i'm buying this now.

Tell us when it comes out!!!

oct. 24, preorder through the wilco store in september...
