calvino

I replaced the actual show, but I had the whole broadcast (interviews and all) on my originals.

Xm is replaying the entire original 12/31/90 broadcast. I taped this off the radio: the tapes were lost years ago (last seen in CO.) Some of the pre-show and between set banter I do remember - The interview with Vince Welnick was cool to hear again and Healy talking about the opening of the Vaults with the release of the One from the Vault. I think this New Year Show is still my favorite. It's great to hear the original broadcast, again.

I think some already did: see http://viachicago.or...wilco-11112011/ Of course you may talking about the audio...

Great stuff, Chris Potter's last recording with the Douglas quintet. Frisell is also on some of these tracks on this record.

Below is a write up from the DMG Newsletter for December 30th, 2011:

Thanks for the recommendations, VCers. Man, the kindle makes Christmas shopping for the wife very easy. Our first daughter is due any day now, the Cinderella book should be an interesting, fun read for her and me, both - at least I think it should be....

Somehow, I think that ship has sailed - which is a shame.

I just tried about 15 minutes ago and I failed the captcha 4 times, even though I wrote the right letters each time. Same thing happen to me when the Metro tickets went on sale the first time.

I am not even sure he really did check mine either - I saw her name on the piece of paper and I pointed it out to him and he said "great". It seems to be good system, though - I guess it does help on the scalping, because one doesn't really know when or how much they will check. The lines went quick, too, for us at least.

I had no problem getting in. My tickets were charged on my wife's credit card - she decided on not attending - I brought her credit card and license and they just checked her credit card. We bought our tickets through Frontgate, they just had a list of names on paper and checked them off, while Etix had the machines to swipe.

They were on the WGN TV morning show this morning - played Dawned on Me and Whole Love. Nice interview, too. Tweedy did the weather, which was pretty funny - he's no Ginger Zee, though.

they are still available - at least the BUY button is there - I have a ticket so I have gone through all the procedures. Did you get Vic ticket Lou?

on sale again.

Put this on our tree last night - so it's officially Christmas in the calvino loft. My sister got this for me back in 97, one of my favorite gifts ever. Got love the Dead/Garcia estate for getting in the Christmas "capitalist" spirit - damn hippies.

"No, Tetsu, you take that (quaalude) after the gig." Ronnie to Tetsu - from the Five Guys box set. War just played at my neighborhood's street party this past August - my neighbor said it was a somewhat decent show. I am not sure which original members are still playing with them.

How was the show?

Another interview with Stewart http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rod-stewart-ill-definitely-make-myself-available-for-a-faces-reunion-20111207#ixzz1fsA2HSlT Considering that Stewart wasn't in the Small Faces, I am not sure if he should an opinion if the Small Faces should be in as their own band or not or at least he should understand where Mac is coming from. Also, the whole thing of Mac should consider "himself lucky that he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" is little odd and seems like a bit of a put-down - but whatever, it's the R&RHoF.

Must admit, I probably will pay more attention to the Marlins this summer than the White Sox.

Sure they could (and 50's pop stars) - but that don't have to.

http://www.music-new...l&nItemID=46676 Pretty cool, I guess.

I think it depends if you got your tickets through Front Gate or eTix.

I got it for the Vic, not the Riv. Didn't get a ticket for the Metro.

It sounds like Stewart is excited, at least. from the Chicago Tribune: http://www.chicagotr...0,1684881.story

Couldn't agree more - that should be fun, too.
