sitting in court again. waiting. again. if and when the judge ever arrives, I'm going rush the bench, grab his head, and give him a big kiss. what could possibly go wrong?

I'm going to sit back and listen to the 10.12.06 Ft. Worth recording of my favorite gangsta band--WILCO!!!

that hasn't happened in years. but I guess I should never say "never."

sounds good enough for me!

here's a comment from below the video: "First TABC is a joke and needs to be shut down, these are the same people who have been conducting sting operations arresting people for drinking in a bar - I.E. NAZI GERMANY 1930'S???" TABC is the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, FYI.

"The best life never leaves your lungs" I can't listen to a live version of that song without a little tear coming up to the surface. Just a personal thing...

I had totally forgotten that Skilling's sentencing is Monday. Wonder if he'll show up or be mysteriously missing--perhaps in a country with tough extradition...

are there torrents sites other than bt.etree and dime-a-dozen (and VC) where a wilco show is likely to show up?

bought flowers for the wife last night for no reason. (even clipped the ends and put the flowers in the vase with that weird powder, etc. before she got home). I have GOT to remember to do this more often...

love this one:

(thanks for the setlist and other info, btw) I had the same feeling. As I posted on the the 10.13.06 San Antone thread, this song just paralyzed me. The whole sequence leading up to the "cherry ghost" part was nailed to perfection, bold and commanding. Glad you all had a blast and dealt with the shitlicker with a great version of "Hummingbird" rather than options some (most?) other bands would have taken...

By the way, did anyone else notice a guy videotaping the show? I think it was at the end of the 1st encore when my wife and I saw a guy making his way from the very front of the crowd with a pretty hefty looking video recording setup. Can't wait to hear the audio on this!!!

Apparently some people are addicted to the internet. Link From the article: "the typical Internet addict was a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use." Thank God I'm married. I think we should all take off work tomorrow and discuss. This could be serious.

so I've got a half-mangled ticket stub left over from the san antonio show. I'm thinking ebay fo sho.

I am personally always astonished at how well jeff puts up with drunken/drugged behavior--usually with a smile and/or a joke--especially considering his own sobriety. One of the things that always makes me admire jeff is how he tries to look after his die-hard fans, whether it's telling obnoxious talkers to shut the F up, or telling incessant song-requesters to chill, etc. This is a guy who puts up with a lot, in a very mature and usually humorous way. So when a member of the audience tramples on that relationship, I think it is perfectly understandable and acceptable for jeff to reac

Where do you stand on the Issues? (edit: this question is addressed to all the candidates)

I guess this is a good lesson in why parents should keep their children away from folk music at all costs. Just look at how it incites violence! Better stay safe with what mtv chooses for our youth.

What I heard on the radio this morning is that the officer arrived to enforce a noise ordinance, and instead of doing so through the club owner/management, he addressed the band members directly, and then things went a little postal...

There's just no stumping the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-browsing VC crowd. Does it look like the officer went out of bounds or what? (Can't watch it from the bberry) (Thanks Mr. Stevens)

3 hearings this morning in 3 different courts. 2 of the judges, 1 male, 1 female, are absent today. I say SCANDAL!!! Anyone hear about the incident down here in houston where a folk band was taken down (physically) by a police officer? Supposedly the whole incident is on youtube but I haven't had a chance to search for it. Evidently some 14 year old boy was tazered. hmpf

it's starting to feel crowded.

agreed...

Here's a rather strange review of the show: Link Concert Review: Wilco performance runs deep and true Web Posted: 10/14/2006 02:32 PM CDT Hector Saldaña Express-News Staff Writer Every concert has its moments. Some are worthy to recall over and over again. For Jeff Tweedy's Wilco, the first of many came three songs into its jam-packed outdoor concert at Sunset Station on Friday for more than 2,000 fans. When

categories are (FYI): Music Television Movies Headlines Sports & Leisure Wildcard If need be I could just post random questions. I'm willing to take off work the rest of the week to get this done, as the competition already seems to be mounting, and this shitty rain would make it a perfect week to grow a beard, sit in the underwear and watch those deadwood netflix that keep eyeing me everytime I walk through the front door...
