More YouTube links of late:

Depends on your phone. I'm using a blackberry, so after I used that website, it sent me an email, that had an internet link. I clicked on that link, which opened the song, then saved it on the blackberry under my ringtones...

Anyone else willing to sacrifice this album in order to eliminate Bon Jovi?

The 50 albums that changed music Sunday July 16, 2006 The Observer 1 The Velvet Underground and Nico The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967) Though it sold poorly on its initial release, this has since become arguably the most influential rock album of all time. The first art-rock album, it merges dreamy, druggy balladry ('Sunday Morning') with raw and uncompromising sonic experimentation ('Venus in Furs'), and is famously clothed in that Andy Warhol-designed 'banana' sleeve. Lou Reed's lyrics depicted a Warholian New York demi-monde where hard drugs and sexual experimentation held sw

you know, ever since I did these downloads (I've also done one of the funky keyboards, etc. at 2:00 minutes into war on war, and also a great clip of Bennet's solo from a live version of "I've Got You"), I've just been waiting to get spammed out the wazoo or have my phone explode, etc., but so far, NOTHING. simple process, no fallout (yet). I'll keep everyone posted in case something is lurking in the dark, etc. (or until I get my bill, etc.)

Already did "I'm Always in Love" and "Hesitating Beauty." Great, now another thing to take up my free time... thanks for the tip!

my point had nothing to do with the obviousness of that particular decision, it was one freakin' example of an inclusion in the book of- Actually, nevermind, posting in this particular thread is like talking to a wall. actually, it's more like this:

some previous posts had to do with whether the author had a slant in favor of Jeff and against Jay. I was simply stating that the book didn't hide items which cast Jeff in a negative light. So yes, I think it's relevant...

what an open-minded, non-objectifying point of view.

aaaahhhh. I wrote that after spending 14 hours in the hospital with my grandmother yesterday and was obviously not very coherent. but still, even with the different Jay, I didn't file like there was a "character assassination" going on--of anyone. The book basically describes how Jeff and Jay were heading in different directions, wanting different things out of the/a band. It's not as though the book paints Jeff only in a good light. The author clearly calls him out for the way Coomer was dismissed...

I'm about to finish the book right now, and I think it's ridiculous to state that it is overly slanted against Jay. There is some glowing praise for Jay and his talents (playing ability, studio savvy, friendship and support between him and Jeff during some rough patches...) in the book--not to mention several accounts by others singing Jay's praises. The only negative impressions come about when things became a pressure cooker over the recording/mixing of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and anyone who's seen "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" can understand how freakin' annoying he had become at that p

I am blown away by "let's fight." I can't wait to see what it evolves into on the new album. just an amazing song...

I just picked this up yesterday and got half way through it last night. Definitely some interesting background, and I enjoyed some uncle tupelo knowledge I didn't have beforehand, but, er... did anyone else get the feeling that this book was in dire need of an editor? It just seems like on one page you get the most minute detail on what bar some distantly-related band used to play at, and then the next page we're leaping through a season or two of the band's (or band members') development... I don't know, just has a strange feel to it, as though perhaps the book should be about twice as l

I haven't used dimeadozen yet (joined it, but haven't downloaded one yet, unless I'm forgetting one). I've done one off of bt.etree. All the rest, so far, have been from this forum. Call it corny but I just trust the people on this site, and it's nice to see how many people make sure and seed something when they're done, just so that another vc'er can have it. I can't tell you how many smiles I've had over the past three weeks getting to listen (and see) some of these shows. I'm a little anxious at how devoted a fun I've become, but, well hell, life is short and I can't think of many thin

"Donna, get in here!"

I decided to put aside my torrenting (this is worse than alcohol, nicotine or [insert drug here], and it appears I may lose my wife over it if I don't learn to start using in moderation--but come on, dozens and dozens of good quality wilco/tweedy/sideproject concerts in audio and/or dvd??!!?? FOR FREE??!!!!!???? and all you have to do is keep the torrent up for awhile after downloading to keep a nice share ratio??!?!?! ok, took a xanax, I've calmed down now) for a few hours and erased it all from my head as best I could and gave A Ghost Is Born a fresh listen without distraction. And I con

exactly. you a-hole.

I find that when I'm listening to all of my wilco material--albums, concerts, demos, etc.--on the ipod, etc. that I routinely skip when it comes to a track off this album, as I've typically found 2, 3, 12 live versions that have taken the place of the original for me... But you bring up an interesting point and so I shall play the album through again and see what happens.

I sure have been in a wistful searching mood lately (with hints of rambunctiousness and earth). any recommendations?

I'm sorry, last one, I just can't help it.

There's not one song that shouldn't be a classic. Also, I would like to respond to Adrian from NJ (whatever that stands for) and his review of 26 May, 2004. He criticized my review of 25 April, 2004.

that's got to be a joke. (either way, thanks for posting it, I'm still laughing). reminds me of a situation involving one of my best friends from law school, who wrote a pocket idiot's guide to tailgating. His friends and family went on amazon and posted the craziest stuff. if you're bored, check it out at: amazon customer reviews

When you posted your post last year, did you find that no one else chimed in as well?
