Atticus

the manic rise of that song in my estimation is almost troubling. Couldn't bear it, now it's entrancing. So fun to play as well.

Wilco (which replaced the Cowboy Junkies just in time) Guitars/Mr. Tweedy's playing (which has resulted in my forgetting about 75% of the material I've learned over the past few years) Good, clever writing (God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut, et al.)(there are some VC posters I'd include in there as well) HBO series (except the one with the actor and his orgy of hangers-on) Speaking English good Parentheticals (self explanatory) Trying to make a go of my job, for a change Family

when I first saw this thread title, I thought "finally someone is addressing my love of wilco." then I thought "what the hell is the rest of the thread (sub)title about." I wish I could join in on the Neil Young analogy, but I'm not well-versed enough. Pocahontas, where are you? --Neil

ZING!

that movie is where I first heard a few seconds of Keith Richards performing "Nearness of You," which eventually became the first song the wife and I danced to at our wedding reception (performed by the wedding band, sadly not Keith Richards). Eventually I emailed the guy who recorded the tune with Keith in the studio and he was nice enough to send me a copy of it.

I hope you haven't had to watch the show Grey's Anatomy. When the wife watches it I stay in the bedroom, but I always know when it's close to being over as a sappy song comes on as they are wrapping up the sophisticated emotional webs that the show weaves

and on the Basquiat soundtrack

you are factually wrong

I've read that it's a grower state

I'd love to hear the down in a hole cover

I'm not sure I can think of anything Moore would be happier about than a story about the possible "confiscation" of his movie. I'm surprised he doesn't film his own bowel movements.

you guys should wait for Scott, or he's going to have a lot of reading to catch up on...

who let Jed out of the barn? (again)

still patiently waiting to see a draft of the petition you have to be very precise with those things one careless word or phrase and that circle could become an ellipse...

I've had a couple of Jeff's guitar riffs from "hate it here" in my head for over 3 weeks now. But I'm fine with that. I just don't see how you can make a fuzz-effected guitar sound that clean when strumming multiple strings, but I'll just get over it.

yep

I don't think I've ever been happier than when I lived in Nashville. But then again I was in college. I might as well end things. Thanks for the thread.

you forgot Ringo

this is not the "hearing voices" thread I had hoped for

althought Jay has considerable "padding"

:party :birthday

There are definitely some gems on there, it just doesn't grab me from start to finish the way life's rich pageant, murmur and reckoning do.

Why do you hate Jay Bennett petitions?
