I think the Hummingbird dance is pretty rad. --Mike

Done. --Mike

. Fine post, good sir. --Mike

Good work Derek, another fine read on GloNo. Anyway, my opinions on this matter have been stated and re-stated quite a bit here, I'd be thrilled if Bennett and Tweedy wrote songs together again. It's possible this is simply a case of the grass is always greener on the other side. We don't know what would happen if Jay comes back into the band so our perception on the matter is limitless. Jay could return today, bring his endless supply of gear to the loft by the weekend, and bam! we're back to getting Jesus, etc quality tunes out of the band. Or it's equally possible that it wouldn't work at a

Tom Hanks as Uncle Ned. Arguably his best role, this scared me out of drinking for several years. --Mike

I am a fan of both Panthers and the Wilco Book CD. The Book CD took me awhile to get into, but I like putting it on as background music, and I love the Soma version of Hummingbird and Diamond Claw. --Mike

Very well said, I'm glad you got to see it and well enjoyed isn't the right word, but experienced it. For someone "who wants to seem intellectually inclined, but really isn't" , you're quite eloquent. --Mike

All of Paul Thomas Anderson's work this week. Including Magnolia from 3-6 a.m. one night when I couldn't sleep, I think that's the ideal time to take that one in. --Mike

I have seen it about three times, once at the Chicago Film Festival and twice when it was playing in Minneapolis. I've never left the theater in a good mood afterwards, other than the general sense of hope one gets when seeing someone take their inner torments and turning into something productive. It is quite the cinematic experience, it's extreme case of a piece art that you either connect with or don't. What makes it stand out from Kaufman's previous work is that there isn't a safety net for the audience. As crazy as Malkovich, Adaptation and Sunshine could get there was always something

The show is actually in the archive Jeff Tweedy 5-16-2003 Panthers is the third track. --Mike

Looking forward to hearing this. I have actually only casually listened to them (I had the singles collections and Achtung Baby) until a couple of months ago when I picked up The Unforgettable Fire and started grabbing their back catalog. Though their recent work hasn't done much for me I can listen to pretty much everything up to and including Achtung Baby non stop. My favorite song of theirs at the moment is In God's Country from Joshua Tree. --Mike

Damn, you beat me to it. --Mike

"Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens."

Come on man, really? What did you want from him? --Mike

A few random thoughts after the title game... Can a deal be put in place so Fox no longer has any major sporting event? Their coverage particularly of college football has been consistently atrocious. When I am flipping over to ESPN and picking Mark May, Lou Holtz and Lee Corso over your broadcasting team, you have a horrible broadcasting team. Mutsberger's USC obsession aside, it'll be nice to see that back with the ESPN family in two years. I'm so jealous of Gator fans right now, this is their fourth major title in four years. This whole never winning a national championship thing that WV

Eels: Dead of Winter (and subsequently half if not all of Electro Shock Blues). --Mike

I've been into Moonlight Mile quite a bit lately. --Mike

This is correct. The 9/26/2001 show was the four piece Jeff, John, Glenn and Leroy. Leroy plays all the keyboard parts, and the second guitar. They used some samples during that tour as well. --Mike

J. Mascis and Barlow buried the hatchet. So did Olson and Louris. But I don't see this happening anytime soon. In the cases of those bands, the bands fell apart after one of the members left. Wilco replaced Bennett and for better or worse has moved on since. --Mike

Yeah, I really love this film. --Mike

It's Warner Brothers doing in all likelihood. Btw, your Darjeeling sig is awesome. --Mike

I was never abused in anyway as a child, but my mother is a Jimmy Buffett fan... Cheeseburger in Paradise or pretty much anything that asshat ever wrote would have to get my vote. --Mike.

I really like the Just a Fan side of the boards a lot, but the one thing that occasionally worries me is that threads have a tendency to break into cheap shots or in-jokes. Now, look I am as big a fan of cheap shots and in jokes as the next guy. OMG, answer the question you highly messed up freaks never fails to get a chuckle here, it's just when someone is actually trying to make an argument breaking into that concerns me a little. I don't want to alienate someone who could potentially be a great contributor here, that's all. Now if someone is being a dick and says "Bennett rulez, Cline sucks

I think you're far too intelligent of a poster to resort to the old cliche of calling anyone who defends Jay, Jay. Come on dude, boo jim boo made a pretty good argument to resort to the "lol, he must be Jay" line shows not only a lack of creativity, but basically concedes the argument if that's the best you can come up with. --Mike
