So.....Has anyone ever listened to the band Helen Stellar? If so, what do you think? I'm pretty sure that they are based out of LA now, but my band played with them once when they were living in Madison, WI. I recently dug out some of thier old EPs and started listening to them again. They are really good. I'm suprised that they are not more popular than they are. For those of you not familiar. Helen Stellar has kind of a spacey "shoe gazer" vibe. Not sure what they are up to these days.....But they should put out a new album! Maybe even come back to Madison to record at Smart Studi

I saw the Great Lake Swimmers open for Centro-matic once. Good band. I really like thier most recent album.

Yep, you are right, but Tweedy also joked that it was a new one right before he started playing it.

Kingpin was not dedicated to Detholtz....the song dedicated to them was actually Late Greats. Kingpin was announced as a "new song". Great show...but the crowd energy was not quite as good as I thought it would be. There was also some funny banter about "how's your foot?" (Carry over from Milwaukee).

I had no idea Ryan was playing in NYC.... Thanks for the tip...just got tix to the 12/4 show. Wish he would update his website more...I would have bought tix when they went on sale..... Anyway I'm really excited to see Ryan when I'm out there! Any additional suggestions would be great.

I'm going to NYC and hope to check out some vintage guitar shops when I'm out there...Does anyone have any suggestions for a few good ones to hit up?

I'll be in NYC on vacation from 11/28-12/5. Does anyone have any suggestions for stuff to do (i.e. shows to see, bars/restaurants to go to, sights to see)? We really don't have a travel plan and are just planning to wing it. Let me know what you think.

The Barrymore is a pretty small venue for Wilco thses days. I'm not suprised that it sold out that fast. Did you try to call any of the other places that sell tix for the Barrymore (i.e. Exclusive Co, B-Side Records, Star Liquor).

Thanks for the info. Just got my Ryan tix. Wow what a day, got tix for both Wilco in Madison and Ryan in Chicago!! Can't wait for the shows.

Ryan is playing at the HOB in Chicago?? When was this announced?

I agree it will sell out....I'm guessing on Friday. I've got my two tix! Can't wait for a home town Wilco show. I love the Barrymore....small theater, great sound. This show will be killer.

Califone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

acoustic

The song is actually called 'What Light'. Tweedy played it after my request....but, I'm guessing he was planning to play it anyway. I noticed that he switched up the lyrics from the last version that I listened to. Now the chorus is something like..."There's a light, what light. There's a light, that light. There's a light, white light, inside of you." What Light makes me smile

I'll be there. Section 1, Row E, Seat 11.

Thanks.....not sure how I missed that other thread....

Not sure why my post about the MO show and Pitchfork article was removed.... So, was the article that I had linked true??? Seems crazy...

Not sure if this true? Seems crazy! Link to the article

No shows in Wisco.....

yep. i indeed play in del mar. linneman's is always fun. we just played there a few weeks ago....

Row E for Mil-town

Jeff & Sue, I'm so sorry to hear the news. Best wishes. My thoughts are with you and your family.

This is a tough one.... AM-That's Not The Issue, I Thought I Held You Being There- Forget The Flowers, Why Would You Wanna Live MA1-At My Window, Birds and Ships Summer Teeth-In A Future Age, My Darling MA2-Remeber The Mountain Bed, Aginst Th' Law YHF-Poor Places, Reservations YHF EP-More Like The Moon, Woodgrain AGIB-Muzzle of Bees, I'm a Wheel I left off Kicking TV and THe Wilco Book CD.....Only picked from the studio albums.

Smokestack Joe, Here is my 2 cents. As far as Tremelo Pedals.....I really like the Demeter TRM-1 Tremulator and Fulltone Supa-Tremelo. But you might be better off getting a Fender Reissue amp.....all of the Tremelo peldals are just trying to sound like the old Frender vibe setting. Delay.....I use a Maxon OD-9. If I had a ton of cash, I would buy a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo or Moog MF-104 MoogerFooger Analog Delay. Compressor....I use an old Ross compressor...but I have heard good things about Maxon's CP-101 Compressor Gain/Overdrive...nothing like a good ole' TS9. I use two TS9s mod

...and maybe some violin looping? No really....he puts on a great show....Recently saw him open for Wilco at Summerfest.....he rocked.
