I don't believe I have disrespected anyone's boundaries. Orpah has shared about this publicly.

I don't dispute that we've made some colossal military and policy blunders. But in the same way posters are calling for people to reserve judgment as to the Bergdahl matter, I think it's wise not to make assumptions on the degree to which a person cares about certain issues just because he or she isn't wailing about them every minute of his/her life or reacting the way you choose to react.

seriously? I've seen this sentiment all over the internet lately and it's really frustrating. Just because someone goes about his or her daily life does not mean he/she doesn't give a shit about the VA situation (or any other important human cause). We can't all skip work and stand in the street protesting every day. You have no idea what those people at the baseball games were thinking, feeling and/or doing about the VA.

I see that Hixter has called the guy a deserter, which I'm not sure anyone disputes. What's with all the hysterics?

At least he doesn't resort to snarky sarcasm and name-calling.

I also really like New Moon, High as Hello, Low Key, Honey Combed and Diamond Light

where is the best single source for finding Ryan Adams' recorded catalog?

Jeff Tweedy is good.

I liked it when he told the audience it seemed ripe for cult recruitment.

I like summer noon. At least the live version.

Plus I have to get to Whataburger by 7:45 before I go to the nut hut at 8:30 on Saturdays.

House is quiet. Great time to work on honing the toneprint on my TC Flashback and reading really important things on the interwebs.

I am sure that like any music Jeff writes, with a couple of exceptions that serve to prove the rule, even tunes that don't immediately grab me will turn into slow growers. But I am disappointed that he's not playing much lead or electric on this tour. The term "underrated" gets bandied about so much but Jeff really has a distinct approach to lead guitar and I was hoping this would be a platform for more of it. I readily acknowledge Nels' skill but sometimes I'd rather hear Jeff's creativity on that instrument.

that's disappointing.

and pregnant one year later.

I am respecting boundaries

I don't like to abuse my relationship with Orpah to score points on message boards.

I like the song more with each listen. Reminds me a little bit of Elliott Smith musically. Has some solid Tweedy juxtaposition of different types of melodies.

This thread is for me to help people. Like Orpah does. Let's all be respectful and not gossip about former members. Especially someone as handsome and sexy as Jules.

at least we can all agree on the Bergdahl swap.

Bill the Cat.

thanks!

the wife and I are taking the 14 year old to Yellowstone in August. we're staying in 3 different places over the week, I don't know where exactly. any input on must-sees/dos and/or Ction's opinion on the new Tweedy project are appreciated. --Atticus

ground beef tacos are perfectly fine. That guy needs to read Watership Down.

got 2 tickets to the Austin show.
