a smart ass after my own heart.... preach on, brother Oblivious.

go check out Wilcobase to look at recent setlists, etc. Lately they've been playing a long set, then following with two encores. Prepare to be blown away. Surpasses any other acts I've seen in years and years.

Nels' sac is more smooth and varied, whereas Bennett's sac is always twangy and limited...

F it.

would that be east, west (and north)?

exactly...

I am a self-admitted neophyte when it comes to the world of computers/internet/software/torrents, etc., and am still learning, but in the past week or so I've downloaded some torrents concerts and am just blown away. what a great way to spend the evening--sit back, press play, and zone off to a concert that I never would have had a chance to enjoy but for some generous trader, who took the time not only to record the show but to go through the work of assembling a great torrents file. This fan appreciates it in spades. Thanks, Neil

true... I do need to snag that one, I was just hoping for the direct-from-soundboard version as well. I'm getting spoiled with all this torrents nonsense. In one week (time since I figured out how to download/convert etc.) I've gone from having only some crappy cds (that sound like they've been burned 3000 times) of some old shows to having some glistening vibrant full concerts, with the flacs on an external for safekeeping. I sleep better at night.

I felt really awkward the first time I heard that on "kicking television"

My stomach still hurts from laughing everytime I listen to this...

my God what a beautiful rendition of that song... and the funny thing is that I heard it live via webcast. ah, the internet... anyone going to torrent the whole webcast? I would if I knew how the hell to do it or had the $80 capture software, etc...

I really don't understand the references to Impossible Germany as a "jam band" song. I think it's a wonderful song. Although I must admit, as I was sitting on the patio last night, playing along with it on the headphones, I kept wanting to hear pat with a subdued hammond organ. Not trying to be so arrogant as to tell the band how to make the song, but, well, that would make the song better...

I didn't want to bother the non-torrents posters, but I value the input from the "just a fan" group, and wanted to ask if those of you who are torrents-savvy would check out the post I just made in "in a future age" at Share Rating Help Thanks!!!!

please recommend some windows software that would allow one, in a hypothetical setting, to capture let's say, I don't know, a webcast of a concert.

God I miss Northern Exposure...

so you're into earthy uncompromising cathartic bands?

well, I for one am feeling so angst-ridden, self-conscious, rambunctious and summery , as a result of repeated exposure to wilco's music, that I'm not sure I could amply respond.

I did a VC search and didn't see this posted before, so I thought I'd throw it out. Following are some items listed on www.allmusic.com for wilco. Talk amongst yourselves...

Listened to the whole album again... Following are some random thoughts (and too many smilies) re same First off, I have to confess that even though many if not all of my favorite artists have been guilty of this sin, I have a severe allergy to the fade-out as the ending to a song. I've always made the analogy that ending a song by fading out the volume is like ending a book by making the font gradually smaller until it's illegible (and I also almost always wonder

Putting album in car disc changer this morning. Going to give this another try. From what I'm hearing on hear I should ignore the stereo half of the cd (the one I have has the original tunes and then repeats in stereo)

I don't think I ever implied I was losing sleep over this issue...
