Yeah, it's a shame that it's been shelved, the full band versions of it in 2002/2003 stand along side the best tunes of the band's catalog. --Mike

It could be ripped from the I Am Trying To Break Your Heart DVD, an acoustic demo of the song plays in the opening credits and an MP3 of that circulated on the internet, I'll see if I can find you a copy. The other possibility is that it's from the Sunken Treasure documentary and was one of the MP3's offered with the DVD. --Mike

Nick Drake: Guitar/Vocals John Cale: Bass/Viola/Keyboards/Vocals George Harrison: Guitar/Vocals Maureen Tucker: Drums Glenn Kotche: Percussion/Vibraphone Jon Brion: Multi-instrumentalist In terms of dream venue, my favorite place to see a show that's within driving distance to me is The Paramount Theatre in Ashland, Kentucky. Setlist? With these guys I doubt it'd matter Northern Sky, Sister Ray (with Lou Reed guesting), Stairway To Heaven (by Brion on piano), Here Comes The Sun, Pink Moon, Child's Christmas in Wales would all be wonderful to here. --Mike

If it's anything like your description: "acoustic folk, classic country, bluegrass, power pop, punk, and some other stuff" I have a feeling I'll love it, those elements sound like quite the recipe for some interesting tunes. --Mike

Yeah I like this too. Lot of interesting stuff going on in the track, and it's quite catchy as well, that's an awfully nice synth hook. --Mike

"I was walking through the woods thinking about Christ, if he was a carpenter, I wonder how much he charged for bookshelves." Joey: Look, I know you're hurtin' now, but in time you'll realize what you've achieved. Jimmy Rabbitte: I've achieved nothing! Joey: You're missin' the point. The success of the band was irrelevant - you raised their expectations of life, you lifted their horizons. Sure we could have been famous and made albums and stuff, but that would have been predictable. This way it's poetry. "How's an asshole like Bob get such a nice kitchen?" Hotlips O'Houlihan: I wonder h

Hotel Alexis: Goliath, I'm on your side Earlier...

What the fuck is happening to North Carolina? --Mike

"On the run from Johnny Law, ain't no trip to Cleveland." Man in Line: Now, Marshall McLuhan-- Alvy Singer: You don't know anything about Marshall McLuhan's work-- Man in Line: Really? Really? I happen to teach a class at Columbia called TV, Media and Culture, so I think that my insights into Mr. McLuhan, well, have a great deal of validity. Alvy Singer: Oh, do you? Man in Line: Yeah. Alvy Singer: Oh, that's funny, because I happen to have Mr. McLuhan right here. Come over here for a second? Man in Line: Oh-- Alvy Singer: Tell him. Marshall McLuhan: -- I heard, I heard what you were saying.

There's a chance that the first three songs on the setlist from that performance were actually the recorded versions from AM being played as a lead-in to Wilco's interview and in studio performance. Pick Up The Change and Box Full of Letters are actually listed twice, it appears that only about three people have that source, but if you're super curious I could see what I could find. --Mike

. Wonderful. --Mike

I have a copy of the Beatles Let It Be CD (original, not Let it Be naked), that came in the Let it Be case and the actual disc is stamped with the Let it Be tracklisting, but encoded on the disc is the Imagine Soundtrack with like 27 Beatles/Lennon recordings. I also have a copy of Plush's Fed album, which was only limitedly released in Japan that I actually found pretty cheap used at a book/music store in Pittsburgh. --Mike

. I love those guys. --Mike

I understand it and respect and even support the artistic decision, but damned if I don't cringe everytime I hear "she begs not to hit her." Which is probably the point. --Mike

Same here, Nantz is fine, but Billy Packer annoys the hell out of me. Gus Johnson is probably my favorite tournament analyst.. --Mike

They never even played a show...

Apparently WVU forgot how to make foul shots down the stretch. Hell of game though, I thought Xavier was going to win big in the first half. Sweet Sixteen for this squad is pretty good though, that's what I kind of pegged as a best case scenario for them all year. Still, they were awfully close to advancing. --Mike

Wheeling, West Virginia's very own John Corbett

Yeah, I agree with cryp. Bragg has always come off as a really genuine good guy to me, and "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward" is one of my favorite songs. I think his half of MA1 is really good, and he has some gems in MA2 as well. --Mike

Paris 1919 is one of my favorite records. Wrong Way Up is a good way to go, Eno and John Cale does it get any better than that. I also love Cale's work on Nico's Chelsea Girl. --Mike

I'd recommend taking that link down actually, we have a policy against links to commercial releases here Please Do Not Post Links To Commerical Releases. And all of the stuff on the M.A's is available. --Mike

I am not a fan of Jack Johnson (sorry Bobbob), but invoking Buffett as a comparison might be a little extreme. I can ignore Jack Johnson's music when it's on, but Buffett's makes me want to either leave the room or destroy the CD player. And I can't forgive his kidnapping of Kenny Loggins Yacht Rock # 11. "It's mellow, but not smooth, kind of shitty... Jimmy Buffett." --Mike

The Rutles were the most important band in my development as a music fan, as after seeing All You Need is Cash, I went on to check out the Beatles, the rest, as they say, is history. Tough to decide but I'd probably go with Let's Be Natural just barely over Doubleback Alley. --Mike
