That's a damn shame those lyrics aren't anywhere, I searched for a few too and came up empty handed. I immediately thought of that song when I saw this thread. --Mike

I thought that November 1st of last year was the final Wilco show before the album was coming out and obviously I was wrong, but all signs seem to point to this being it with the exception of the Tweedy Barcelona date until the album. And just a quick note, Wilco did play two short sets at the Bridge School Benefit in October of that year so those were actually the last shows before the 2004 Otto's run. And that was it for Leroy, though I don't think I've seen him in the pictures I've seen from that gig, it sounds like he was there on the source of the show I have. --Mike

I think you might have just named the project. I was kind of kicking around W#lco Happens or dBpm but that one's a winner. --Mike

I'll be there with my uncle, father and brother. If it's taped I'll make sure you at least get a copy pt. --Mike

His first CD wasn't too bad, but I am getting pretty sick of him too. --Mike

This is terrible news, my thoughts are with the Tweedy family and may she rest in peace. --Mike

I like the way you think. Hopefully it will be done by then, that would be in line with the time table for a March 07 realease. --Mike

I think it might be time for the Flaming Lips to bring Ronald Jones (who plays on and co-produced this record) back. --Mike

I think he's still growing as a songwriter without Tweedy. On his solo albums he hasn't come close to any of the great Tweedy/Bennett compositions yet and it's going to be awhile before he gets out of that enormous shadow. Also getting kicked to curb (though he did certainly help write that kick me sign) after co-writing four of the greatest albums of the last twenty years is probably going to take awhile to get over. He's also fighting the opinion most people have that Wilco got better after he got tossed. But if you take Bennett out of the Wilco shadow, which is very difficult to do, he i

YSI is being a bastard at the moment but I'll try again later tonight and give it a shot tommorrow morning if it's still problematic. --Mike

Actually Jeff played the majority of the lead guitar work for this lineup of the band. Leroy does play the electric parts of Hesitating Beauty and Forget The Flowers, but he was primarly playing keys or backing Jeff on the guitar. --Mike

For anyone wondering this is still going on and being compiled and I am pulling off the stuff from my collection that I need for it. I also need to contact a couple of people about picking some shows up, but I am still thinking I can get this done by November. It's looking like the weekend I have off for fall break in October when I was planning to put this together is going to be pretty much booked, so it's going to probably be until the middle of November before it's finished and hopefully it will be up on the tracker after/if I get the sound mastered. --Mike

I ran (very poorly) for my high school track and cross country team. Everyone made varsity in track so I was smoked pretty regularly in the mile and two mile which were my events. I was by no means a jock and would often pass the time at epically long track meets having imaginary debates in my head on which band I liked better Pavement or the Minutemen, Eno or Roxy Music, etc. In Cross Country I actually did pretty well my senior year but by the time track season came around in the spring my senior slide carried over to athletics. In my very last two mile at regionals I finished dead last

Words can't express how much I love this band...

Still amazing. --Mike

I was a little too young to really be swept up in Nevermind craze when it came out, though I do have a little recollection of Cobain's death in 1994. I've always found myself a bit more interested in Cobain as a person then his actual music. I probably got more out of reading Heavier Then Heaven then I have out of listening to any Nirvana album outside of the Unplugged CD. I really enjoyed Nevermind when I finally got around to buying it when I was in high school, but the two criticisms I hear about the album it's overproduced and most of the music it inspired was pretty terrible are both va

Thanks so much. --Mike

Good Friday afternoon music I've been on a real Ork Pop kick lately for some reason. --Mike

Please do so, I managed to grab a couple of tracks from the Air Balloon Road compliation a few months back and have been really enjoying them. I'd love to hear this. --Mike

Derivative of the Beach Boys? Sure. But it's still one of my favorite records. --Mike

Wow, I love your site. Thanks a lot --Mike
