I was going to find a 35 page dissertation on birthdays and re-post it here, in your honor, but I just got lazy. Happy Birthday. Keep keeping it interesting

I have a dell dimension with what sounds like the same speaker system. It has started crapping out on my too. No problems with the volume knob, but one of the speakers doesn't make any sound, and if I turn the surround sound effect off (in my volume panel), then none of the speakers work at all.

southbound can get me out of just about any funk ("an evening with..." version)

Dear Ction, Has your drastic weight loss affected the way that you enjoy wilco on your terms? --J.B.

I'd say "yes" for about 1/4 of the shows I've seen

if you like backwards-speaking midgets I'd suggest Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

having been around here for awhile, I expected the hate for this guy, but what I'm interested in is how so many people have talked very specifically about the hate he spreads. I have to admit that I'm not very familiar with his show because I'm almost never in my car when it's on, but the half dozen or so times I've flipped through the am dial and caught a segment of his show (once it hits commercials it's back to scan or cds) he seemed to be optimistic and positive to an almost silly extent. In fact I thought that it was part of his schtik. Would anyone mind educating me a bit on some

thanks for the freakin' spoiler alert. christ...

I was born during the last days of 1971. My mother was a huge Elvis fan, and I remember to this day watching his tv special with her when I was a kid. His music has been present throughout my life. I'm curious what the rest of the board thinks about his music, and his performances

1. Wilco/Tweedy LRS 2. Cowboy Junkies (shows from black-eyed man and prior) 3. My Morning Jacket (I'd watch him play anything, anytime) 4. J Mascis/Dinosaur Jr. (volume rib damage plus heart-breaking notes) 5. Snodrass/Price (most real and earnest performance I ever witnessed) 5.1 Chris Whitley (one time, solo performance) 5.2 Morphine 5.3 Soulhat

I doubt anyone more drastically changed my direction midspeed than Kerouac. funny that you mention that. I have about 10-15 true dylan favorites. tonight, it will be desolation row

first I'd point out that I think if SBS had been mixed/produced differently it would have been better-received around here. Just my opinion but I loved those tunes live. wilco is the only band in my life that has made such consistently great records. But I think I'm a bit of an unusual fan in that I listen to and value their live performances so much. I have to remind myself from time to time to go back and listen to the albums. I have nothing but optimistic expectations for the next record. This guy is as real as it gets--anyone who has been to a living room show will tell you tha

must be a lot of weighted photobucket accounts

for the record, I have been consistently awesome since November 16, 2008

glad to hear 1% is on the live disc.

saw that this weekend. hence hugh jackman's reference that they would move the 7 second time-delay to a 20 minute time delay if rourke actually won the oscar...

did we ever figure out who the skeletons were in the cave in season one (I think Jack and Kate found them)? always meant to ask that

vibes dondoboy

the most important american band (this is the name of my band--so I figure it was relevant)

I thought tonight's episode was very unsettling. I was on the fence bw loving and hating it, but as usual, the longer I ponder, the more I respect. They have the tools to make one of the best seasons ever. I hope they follow through.

what do you think of an alice in chains album without layne? just doesn't sit right with me at all.
