  1. But if It wasn't for this board, NoJ would be in still in the dark about Bells being back in Illinois - therefore, it's the most important site on these inter-webs, I'd say.... It is deader than than a doornail, though...even during and after a Chicago WIlco winter residency.
  2. I think the regular price is 16.99, but it always seems to be on sale. The Meijers just opened in my village (I am down south in Flossmoor) about 4 months ago -- they are probably just trying to get everyone hooked and then our local place will jack the price - damn capitalism....
  3. They started to package the Two Hearted in cans - a grocery store near me usually has it for $15 for a 12 pack - which is a decent price.
  4. We get Bells around here, NoJ -- they stopped for a while, but they have been back.
  5. Two Brothers' Northwind Imperial Stout is a decent one. Not of huge fan of their beers, but their stout is solid. Of course there is always Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout - a few weeks ago I enjoyed an Old Rasputin on a nitro line - very smooth and tasty.
  6. A-Man posted the Saturday torrent link in the In A Future Age forum. http://viachicago.org/topic/52263-wilco-02252017/
  7. The wife and I had great time on Saturday. We were up in the balcony - towards the front - from Heavy Metal Drummer onward, everyone was on their feet. For the most part everyone around me was great, though two girls by us sat down the whole show and were on there phone the entire concert - which was fine with me, because they were quiet - it did bug my wife, though - mostly because she couldn't believe they could just sit there the entire night. I was fine with the set list - sound wise was fine - guess it could have been a tad bit louder. Definitely seemed like an older crowd, perhaps th
  8. Last thread we were discussing Garcia backing Weir on guitar/vocals -- usually I always enjoyed Garcia contributions to When I Paint My Masterpiece.
  9. What lake or river did you go fishing at -- 3 bass in 15 minutes is pretty good.
  10. Great interview about the new record in Relix. A lot gear talk, too - which was nice. https://www.relix.com/articles/detail/track_by_track_son_volts_notes_of_blue
  11. Notes of Blue is really great. Maybe Jay can produce the next Wilco record. Notes sounds great and is definitely a focused record. Definitely borrows a lot from old school blues - but there is nothing wrong with that. Hopefully, Jay can transfer it to the stage and put on a great concert. Jay can catch a few Wilco shows / Jeff can take note of Notes and both would benefit. Did flip through some of Jay's book - okay, nothing earth shattering. Very antidotal, which was his point, I suppose.
  12. Today is the 30th Anniversary of Keith and Donna's last show the band. check that - 38th - all this Caillou talk threw me off.
  13. Any Disney show / youtube clips of people playing video games / Kidz Bop on the Roku / Pokemon -- my daughter still throws on a Caillou or Curious George every now and then - I find it soothing.
  14. Compared to the crap my kids now watch - I miss Caillou.
  15. Yes - it should be free, then. It has always have been free, but the Taste use to be free, too, so I never assume anything is free in Chicago, anymore.
  16. Looks like it may be the below: They are playing a show in Canada. Rainey is great to watch play. Sun May 21, 2017 - 8:00 PM Nels Cline The Nels Cline Four // FIMAVwith:Julian Lage,Scott Colley,Tom Rainey
  17. It took me forever yesterday, but the order finally went through. I think I tried for about 5 hours on and off. I figured they would had all it worked out this morning.
  18. This year they are finally moving the main stage to the Jay Pritzker Pavilion - which is a good thing. Nice venue and the sound is great for an outdoor venue. I haven't heard that they will be charging for seats for the Blues Fest - like they are now doing during the Taste of Chicago. You may have to stand in line to grab a seat for Clark - not much of a view from the lawn, unless you are at the very front, so you will need get in the pavilion. Blues Fest is usually fun and pretty laid back.
  19. I can't imagine them not having the masters or at least using the masters for the release. Dead.net is already down - guessing too much traffic.
  20. The Stones exhibit that started in England and that is now in New York, will be coming to Chicago - which is great news. Looking forward to it. http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/rolling-stones-exhibitionism-to-rock-chicagos-navy-pier/
