Way to teach your children well, Mr. Hamm.

It says it is from Summer '08 and is with Andrew Bird...off-hand, does anyone know what show this is from? I also think it is funny that it is credited to "Andrew Bird & Wilco"...whatever.

Not a Wilco song, but how about a Tweedy-related song? My husband (CKC on here ) and I met at a Golden Smog show, and I have always thought of "Until You Came Along" as "our" song. Some lovely lines in there...

I think the same thing: Hope I don't get sick this year, because all of my school personal days are going to concerts!

Man, the recording was EXCELLENT! Not a ton of talkers around you, eh? I think you did a really stellar job, especially since the acoustics were less than ideal. Still, what energy! What a crowd! What a band! Thank you SO, SO much for giving us a chance to hear the show again!

Sorry I'm getting to this late, but there's a great modern B&B that's cute and reasonable called House 5863. It's a half of a mile from the venue. Just a thought. I run by it every day, and plan on putting family up there if the need comes up.

Yeah, because then you could buy tix AND not have to work. If I came into a great amount of money and had the energy I have now, I think I'd chuck it all in and just go to concerts all the time.

In the Spin picture posted previously here, I see that the Tweedy's have the Seeburg jukebox of my dreams. I have been wanting one my entire life. Someday...

A Friday night too?!? So tempting!

Let's hope that screws up the scalpers!

Wilco at Superdawg! Awesome! I can't wait for my Spin to get here. Thanks, Dude.

I thought it was "Cissy Strut" by The Meters.

The arrhythmic girl was not one of the "stage girls" pulled up on stage by the band...She and another girl came up on their own a bit later and crashed the party. Why am I telling you this? I was one of the girls pulled up there and don't want to be known as having no rhythm!

That's too bad. Wesley rocked it. This guy WISHES he could be as cool as Wesley. Anyway, I love the phone number part. Hilarious. Thanks for filling in the blanks!

It did pretty much say everything except having to give up your first born. I take these warnings seriously since the time I went to an Elvis Costello show a few years back (when camera phones were less common and really not good for any sort of detailed photography) and security actually told you to either take your phone back to your car or throw it away!!! They really meant it too!

Yesterday, I was at my neighborhood Borders and saw Tweedy on the cover of a songwriting magazine. I checked out the article and saw Jeff remarked that he had recorded another track for the I'm Not There soundtrack. Since I love the "Simple Twist of Fate" cover, and I already own the CD, I got on iTunes this morning looking to see if the other song appeared on an extended version of the soundtrack. The answer is no, but I did find a really weird CD by someone named The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan. The artist has all song titles referencing musicians on this album, called Songs abou

It was mentioned before, but mine is definitely: "This is an aural arms open wide A sonic shoulder for you to cry-i-i-i on" I also love the alliteration I've noticed in different places on the album. I teach HS English, and I used to use "Fickle finger of fate" as my example, but I might switch to "All you fat followers get fit fast" this year. On a similar note, there's some awesome imagery on this album as well that I might use in class.

Thank you SO much!!! Can't wait to hear it!

Dude! Didn't get to say goodbye to you or Stacy. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better time with friends and our favorite band. I loved turning around every few minutes and seeing you rock out. It's been too long since our last concert together! Let's do it again this weekend at The Wrens!

Yay, Drew! Please come hang with us again. You made the night so much more fun! P.S. Your picture that Erin took with Mr. Cline looks great!

Awesome, right? We were so excited when we were told just to go through! Just another happy surprise on an unbelievably perfect and surreal day! Thanks to the band for taking care of their fans and putting on such an awesome show. (Probably one of the best out of the many I've been privileged to experience!) We know that you all have to be wicked tired after crossing the U.S. and coming back again, but, as always, you brought all of your energies and talents together in such an amazing way that old fans were reminded why they keep coming back for more and new fans realized that they may h

Made my JenCo shirt already!

Any show with "Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)" is all right by me!

Couldn't find this elsewhere on here, so here it is. I don't know if it is new or not, but I picked up the Time Out this morning: What a bum-out it’d be to see Haruki Murakami penning Hi and Lois or Gerhard Richter painting Precious Moments figurines. Ridiculously creative artists should not be reduced to playing with their medium’s basest forms. Upon hearing Wilco’s latest, a heart sinks when Nels Cline lends his jazzy art-rock finger-scrambling to a Tom Petty knockoff or quirky percussionist Glenn Kotche ditches his dense drum workouts for tepid toe-tapping. The sorta-eponymous seventh
