Thanks for sharing this setlist, Jules. I forgot about the song "Lost Love" & dusted off my Golden Smog CD's to get re-acquainted with it. Much obliged to whomever requested that

I miss Robert, are you in touch with him at all these days? He put me in touch with a lot of a great stuff when I first starting posting here. He and M. Chris led me right to Quicksand/Cradlesnakes and Califone has been one of favorite bands ever since. I owe my Califone and Jon Brion obsessions to this place for sure.

The living room shows aren't circulated because Jeff, through his wife Susan, who occasionally posts here, asked us to pull them. The first few years of Living Room Shows were easily available online at one point, but once the Tweedys made their feelings known those links were pulled down from the trackers, Owl and Bear, etc.

My best guess for SBS's selection is that it keeps a pretty steady mood throughout. Unless you have a pathlogical hatred of Leave Me Like You Found Me, that record is going to pull you out of a relaxed mindset. I could see some of Summerteeth's moments like Via Chicago being a buzz kill if I was in the wrong crowd/on the wrong stuff. Though ST does come with the advice to Smoke Pot, Smoke Pot, Smoke Pot. This is probably some form of drug confirmation bias, but Ghost sounds more like a painkillers record to me than pot. I'm thinking way too much about this.

Yankee would be my particular choice, but SBS works pretty well in this context.

Waterloo is my favorite of the choices, though SOS would be given strong write-in consideration. --Mike

I remember hearing or reading that he had son while he was living in Canada in the 2000's (before he started touring again), but I can't find anything confirms it anywhere. --Mike

Listening to "There's a Place" right now, they had it from the very beginning.

Yeah, I love Reggie Watts. Super funny and talented dude. He does a lot of the music for the show "Louie" on FX, that's him leading the way on the remake of Hot Chocolate's Brother Louie that the show uses as it's theme song. --Mike

Happy birthday, kidsmoke!

Yeah, that's my favorite solo show and the BT song is "A Long Time Ago." The "new song" is the AGIB b-side Panthers. --Mike

I understand and really love what you're saying. I think all of us here know exactly how you're feeling and probably have gone through similar periods of wondering if we'd burn out on them or not. I got into Wilco in 2002 right before YHF came out, and have been very passionate about them ever since. They're absolutely one of my favorite bands. I don't think Wilco has ever gotten old to my ears. Though each of their records has been a varying degree of divisive when it came out. So people might not necessarily be burnt out or jaded. They just like some of their albums or songs more than others

Maybe he didn't know it was a real album? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Ish_%28album%29

I adore those Sherlocks, Crow. I was glued to PBS last year when they aired the second series.

Nice, looking forward to that coming out.

Yeah, depending on the arrangements, maybe they could just do a live record of all new material (like what the Beatles initially were trying to attempt with the Let it Be album). I think that would be pretty cool.

I have only read about them doing stuff like that, so while I think it is hysterical as a concept, I would imagine being there in the room for the fifteenth minute of them doing "The Soup Nazi" might have a limited appeal. Particularly, if there's a guitar behind Ira just waiting for him to do this to:

Love this record, it definitely has a vibe that I associate with Chicago experimental rock scene of bands like The Sea and Cake, Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke/Loose Fur, which makes sense since it was recorded at Soma with John McEntire. Though one of my favorite things about YLT albums is their eclectic unpredictability, it was interesting to hear them go with a sustained mood for an entire record and cut down the jams. I love it a lot, for it to truly be my favorite YLT record, it would have to have a James song/lead vocal on it. Now I'll go back to my corner with my Dump records: http://www.yout

That would be my hope also, though I do know when Greg Kot was researching for his Wilco bio, there were fans he leaned on for access to bootleg recordings for certain live shows, particularly the rougher England shows of the Being There era. Given the access he had, I would guess that they might not actually have deep live archives. But then again maybe tasked with the option of spending more time with Greg Kot, they kept their stash to themselves. Very excited for the new album, no idea where they'll go next, but I will follow. --Mike

Yeah, Roger's voice has really been on decline for the last few years, I noticed it a lot at the Super Bowl show in 2010 and then the 12/12/12 concert. Such a shame, because even in recent years the Who could really take over a concert. Their performance for the 9/11 benefit while not quite Live at Leeds, certainly was a highlight. --Mike

Recuperating from the War is my favorite song of John's. I'm currently streaming these playlists: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2012/12/12/music-from-the-films-of-jim-jarmusch/
