uncle wilco

Do you own any Wilco records?

 

I do not, no. Do you?

 

I do.

 

All right.

ok, that was a little awkward.

why is this news?

i didn't even know they had republicans in vermont.

now, that's actually pretty funny.

reni, to you i'm sorry.

Not over your whining.

earl, your show sucks and you need to realize that scientology only guarantees you a clean colon and a christmas card from john travolta.

Did you bring your violin?

yeah, it's real fucking tiny.

you probably can't hear it.

i see i've become the board punching bag again.

go ahead and pile on, there's still room.

i hope it helps to relieve all that pent up stress and anger for you.

i'll be fine.

It might depend, though. Remember, this is a 23-year old college student, ostensibly an adult who lived away from home, not a 16-year-old highschooler.

 

Many people commit murder in their 30s, 40s, or 50s. Are the parents still to blame?

maybe your right, maybe after you turn 21 you might catch the "let's kill people" virus. it turns completely average people into mass-murders instantly.

i think this particular person had a long list of red flags all the way through childhood and it finally boiled over. it's all hind-sight now and i can't even imagine how his parents feel right now, but i'm sure it's of little consolation to those 32 families that lost a loved one.

Unless the parents contributed to him having mental illness and/or blatantly ignored his need for professional help, I don't see how the parents can be held accountable for the kid flipping out.

if my son was continously obsessing over violence and had a long history of being non-responsive/anti-social and also had a record of complaints from school officials, etc. there might be a part of me that would second-guess myself as a father. but, that's just me.

To blame the parents is fucking ridiculous. You have said a lot of fucked up things on this board before - but that may very well take the cake.

does the blame solely rest on the parents?...no

did i say that?...no

do you sound like reni...no

do you sound like jorge...yes

i'd like a list of all the "fucked up things" i've said on this board and please rate them from 1 being the worst and so on so that i may review it and have a chuckle. i need one right now.

thank you.

tell st. oprah i said "hi" and to keep saving the universe for all of us little people.

that is totally fucking unfair.

in your opinion.

when is st. oprah gonna have the killer's parents on her show? she can create sympathy for them as parents because of the ills of society or some shit like that.

where are his parents anyway?

good job, mom and dad...good job.

well the media ensured that asshole's right to free speech...so...there you go.

god bless america

In introducing the tape on Wednesday night, NBC anchor Brian Williams said the network is "sensitive to how all of this will be seen by those affected."

How is this crap playing in a continous loop 24/7 considered "sensitive"?

NBC has no class whatsoever. Since all the other networks are now playing copy-cat, they don't either.

I'm sure all the newsrooms are gearing up with new custom 3-D graphics and starting a pool for the next tragedy.

disgusting vampires...all of them.

Anyone like Jason Falkner?

 

I am really looking forward to this album. It'll be his first real studio album in almost 8 years.

 

So far, it is only available in Japan, or as an import. Has anyone ordered this? Or plan to?

 

I am debating ordering it, but if they announce a North American release for relatively soon, I would rather save the cash.

 

Anyway, just thought I would see if anyone here was into his music and/or looking forward to this release.

i'm a huge jason fan from way back. i'll definately be picking this cd up. i've tried to share my enthusiasm on this board for jason in the past, but...well, as jason says, lounging 'round in the underground is his favorite thing to do. he is so good, but he dabbles in so many other projects (producing, playing on other artists work) that he can really try your patience as a fan. the man needs to lock himself in the studio for about six months and crank out the other 4-5 albums he still owes us.

Chad on Amazon has got issues.

i expect to hear many more such reviews before it's all over. sure, everyone wouldn't mind another "being there", but that was a different band and a long time ago. 1996 to be exact...i live in the present. that means i no longer wear flannel or sport a mullet...maybe that was more like 1989?...i can't remember.

sky blue sky is 2007 and i can't wait till may 15th.

maybe if you listen to it another 15 times it might take for you chad...that's about how long it took for me and now i "get" it.

Happy birthday uncle wilco!

 

that other guy sucks...

ha ha

happy birthday to you too.

thanks everybody!

Go SIU!!!!

 

LouieB

KU will prevail...i hope.

SIU plays some damn good defense.

ROCK CHALK...JAYHAWK...K...U....

have i said how much i love this album now? well...i do.

54 days and counting...

coming via japan import april 18th and will be released stateside this summer.

that's freaky

I'll prob take heat for this around here, but...

 

Local H- Pack Up The Cats

take some heat? why?

local h is alright, in fact i had that on in the car this morning. i didn't realize it was a concept album though. what would immediately come to mind would be floyd and then it would go south from there with some queensryche and dream theater (which haven't aged well at all). i'm definately not the prog-metal guy i used to be. in fact, that wasn't me at all.

evar?

best wilco tune sung by john evar.

van hagar and the cbs orchestra were horrible. i could hear the terrible void left by eddies guitar. plus, i believe it was '86 when sammy was added to the band which completely changed the dynamic. it was van halen in name, but van hagar in reality. i believe 5150 was released in '86, which would mean that van hagar isn't eligible to be inducted untill 2011. but they wouldn't be worthy on their own merits. what exactly did sammy have to do to be included? if i were him, i would have been too embarrassed to have shown up, much less sing in a van halen tribute band that was performing a song that wasn't even sung by the true DLR led version. the memory of the true van halen deserved better than this.

...or maybe you like the flavor of the month better.

that comment pretty much ruined any chances of that transaction.

as for me, i haven't heard graham in years. saw him open for clapton back in '86 [i think it was '86] and he's been off my radar since then.
