Thanks. Glad it made you laugh!

Ok Kidsmoke. Here you go.

Mistletoe Misunderstood (Office Christmas Party)

When you’re back at your old cubicle

What’s that hanging from the roof

But that Mistletoe's misunderstood

That Mistletoe's misunderstood

A red stapler that you just can’t find

When the girl from legal catches your eye

You hurt her but you don’t know why

You didn’t notice what was on the vine

Trying just to hit sales goals

A Christmas Party that you just didn’t go to

You still love Santa Claus?

You still love Santa Claus?

It’s only a quarter to nine

No one’s going to make it on time

While she is just staring at me

Why is she just staring at me?

Ted from accounting's going for a ride

He’ll get the donuts if you offer to buy

He thinks you stiffed him on the last check

It will be years before he gets over it.

There’s mistletoe above my head

But that thought is just misread

I’m thinking that I just should have fled

From the mistletoe above my head

You think I’m just a Mama's Boy

I just don’t want to be unemployed

Mistletoe's Misunderstood

Mistletoe's Misunderstood

I know you’ve got some mistletoe

But HR says you’ve got to go

Mistletoe's Misunderstood

Mistletoe's Misunderstood

Mistletoe's Misunderstand

Mistletoe's Misunderstood

I’d like to thank you all for New Years

After the party no one cleaned up at all

I’d like to thank you all for New Years,

New Years,New Years,New Years,

New Years when they just drop the ball

New Years, New Years, New Years, 

New Years when they just drop the ball

Sale today at the Wilco store. 25% off music. 50% off posters and Solid Sound merch. Most of you probably know that but you can also get the Solid Sound Roadcase Bundles for 50% off also. So the most recent Solid Sound Bundle can be had for $9.99 for mp3! $12.50 if you need FLAC or ALAC files. 

I'm not going but hope everyone has a great time. It sounds like your cost could be offset tremendously by all the beer and sandwiches kidsmoke is going to be buying.

That's not correct. You select your tickets on the map and hit add to cart. After waiting for 10 to 15 seconds of verifying your seats it tells you someone has beat you to it. 

That was beautiful! You have a very nice voice. I've "met" Jeff a few times and can't form full sentences around him. Getting up and performing with him is brave. Getting up and doing it as well as you did is amazing.

I didn't bother going out this morning. The main store for here doesn't open for another two hours. People started camping out last night.

I'm so sorry to read this.That is horrible! 

That was a bust and I cried in the store. Really glad I got up at 5am to be elbowed by a grown man. Great time. I’m so sad.

 Wow Dutch. Sorry your friend's first Tweedy show was like that. I was actually at the concert also. Glad I wasn't sitting next to them. Coincidentally I came from Katy TX which is outside of Houston. Unfortunately lots of concerts in Houston are like this. I don't understand the complete disrespect that some people have towards bands. I'm originally from New Orleans and I don't remember any concerts being like this.

Glad you had a good time! I found this link for the setlist.

The entire Sky Blue Sky album. I'm not even sure why. Maybe it's how cozy the album feels. That's what I would do to stay warm.

Thank you for the update and report bbop. I always love reading them. I feel bad for the person in the other thread who left after the first set. 

Yeah I’m sure it will go over $30 k but it’s nice to daydream

Absolutely! Nothing wrong with daydreams. Maybe we can go $501 each like on the price is right and win it.

It's things like this that make me realize if I was rich I wouldn't be for long. If all it took was $500 I would do it. I have a feeling that is going to get a lot higher than the starting bid.

I wish! Have fun tonight kidsmoke and tell Jeff hello for me 

It was a year ago today that Wilco played in Austin. Thank you again for such a great night that my son and I will never forget. A year later and the photo from that night is still the wallpaper on my phone. It's not going to change anytime soon. The only regret I have from that night is not saying to them how much it all means to me. All of that wonderful music that has helped me. So thank you Wilco for everything.

Thanks for posting Kidsmoke. How surprising that even though I live in Texas I never wanted a cowboy hat until about 5 minutes ago.

New video for If all I was was black. Hopefully the link works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5L1fDK_7Xo 

Really great album if you haven't checked it out yet. 

That was a fun 10 hours.

Damn, lucky you! Was it the guitar, amp, or both?

Haha. I just meant I finally thought of a line that worked. No guitar or amp for Christmas for me. I did get some nice headphones. 

On the sixth day of Christmas my Wilcos gave to me

Six musicians playing

Five Bull Black Novas

Four dreamers dreaming
Three God shaped holes
Two intertwined IG guitars
And a blinking macrame owl onstage

Finally got it! All I want for Christmas is a guitar leaning against a Marshall stack.

Some of you really need to read the directions!

 

Others of you, WOW, clever choices! Really makes you want to go back and mine the lyrics, doesn't it? Vince, I was sure you would want a bull black Nova!

 

All I want for Christmas is a punch in the nose.

Yes. Thank you kidsmoke. I don't have anything to add but trying to think of something made me listen to Wilco the album the last few days.

My Passenger Side download links arrived in my inbox today along with a shipping confirmation for my CDs...
