    Why must you be argumentative? ;)

     

    So, and I know several people will disagree with me here, but I'm Wide Awake is Conor's best work. Ever. I thought that album was absolutely amazing. The reason I didn't expect much from Cassadaga was due to the Four Winds EP's rather bland showing.

     

     

    I'd like to know what is bland about Reinvent The Wheel, Smoke Without Fire and Tourist Trap (probably one of Oberst absolute best)?

    Wilco For My Ipod

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Hi there,

    So I've got a new Ipod for my birthday and I want to put videos of wilco in it to watch whenever I feel like it. Impossible Germany live @ ACL is a cool addition for instance. The thing is when converting my video files into .m4v (the ipod video format) all my .mpg turn soundless. That leaves me only with the .mov files . I have 3 (ELT (99), Kamera (02), and Red-Eyed And Blue I Got You (99)) all from thedvdproject.net . There used to be several others on the site but they are gone. I remember great versions of The Lonely 1 (96/97?) and ITMWLY (02) were available. Does anyone by any chance has those .mov files or any other cool wilco's?

    Thanks

    Going to see them on Nov. 15th at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. What kind of a show do they put on? I'm sure a few of you have seen them before.

     

    Tks,

     

    TBR&R

     

    You're in for a treat. As I mention on this board somewhere before, my band supported them last november for 2 shows in France and they blew our mind. They are a bunch of very nice people as well.

    Volume 101

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Is there any plans to resurect the torrent section of this forum? I went to http://www.thedvdproject.net/ and saw their brand new volume 101 and thougth I'd love to watch that. I always thougth that the via chicago tracker was the best to share our wilco possesions. (Sorry if I'm in the wrong section of the site).

    one song

    Posted

    I've no idea if someone has posted that already so here I go:

     

    Well, the cop made the showdown

    He was sure he was right

    He had all of the lowdown

    From the bank heist last night

    His best friend was the robber

    And his wife was a thief

    All the children were killers

    They couldn't get no relief

    The bungalow was surrounded

    When a voice loud and clear

    Said, Come on out

    with your hands up

    Or we'll blow you out of here.

    There was a face in the window

    The TV cameras rolled

    Then they cut to the announcer

    And the story was told.

     

    The artist looked at the producer

    The producer sat back

    He said, What we have got here

    Is a perfect track

    But we don't have a vocal

    And we don't have a song

    If we could get

    these things accomplished

    Nothin' else could go wrong.

    So he balanced the ashtray

    As he picked up the phone

    And said, Send me a songwriter

    Who's drifted far from home

    And make sure that he's hungry

    Make sure he's alone

    Send me a cheeseburger

    And a new Rolling Stone.

    Yeah.

     

    There's still crime in the city,

    Said the cop on the beat,

    I don't know if I can stop it

    I feel like meat on the street

    They paint my car like a target

    I take my orders from fools

    Meanwhile some kid

    blows my head off

    Well, I play by their rules

    That's why I'm doin' it my way

    I took the law in my hands

     

    So here I am in the alleyway

    A wad of cash in my pants

    I get paid by a ten year old

    He says he looks up to me

    There's still crime in the city

    But it's good to be free.

    Yeah.

     

    Now I come from a family

    That has a broken home

    Sometimes I talk to Daddy

    On the telephone

    When he says that he loves me

    I know that he does

    But I wish I could see him

    I wish I knew where he was

    But that's the way

    all my friends are

    Except maybe one or two

    Wish I could

    see him this weekend

    Wish I could walk in his shoes

    But now I'm doin' my own thing

    Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad

    Although my home has been broken

    It's the best home I ever had

    Yeah.

     

    Well, I keep gettin' younger

    My life's been funny that way

    Before I ever learned to talk

    I forgot what to say

    I sassed back to my mom

    I sassed back to my teacher

    I got thrown out of Bible school

    For sassin' back at the preacher

    Then I grew up to be a fireman

    Put out every fire in town

    Put out anything smokin'

    But when I put the hose down

    The judge sent me to prison

    He gave me life without parole

    Wish I never put the hose down

    Wish I never got old.
