just curious, whos number one then Halcyon??

The Fab Four will always be number one in my books. I'm afraid if I say a band is better I'll spontaneously combust.

Second greatest band of all time.

Also, I really liked My Morning Jacket's take on "It Makes No Difference".

Not that I would ever condone stealing but I heard once there was a way to get "Logic Express" for free. I know, it's probably a myth, like sasquatch and polar bears. However, Logic is a fantastic audio editer and sequencer.

I have one sticker, a few buttons, and then various books and DVDs. I wanted a tshirt when I saw them last month but I got thirsty and bought a powerade so i only had $24 (the shirts were all 25! grr).

...and what's the deal with him being pretty much the largest contributor to The Wilco Book despite being the newest member at that point?

He engineered and played on (not to mention one or two writing credits as wel) A Ghost Is Born so I imagine he had a lot to say.

WHAT?! Wilco played "It's Just That Simple"?!?!??!?!?!

Why does it say "taxation without representation"?

Dude I know, I think it's one of the finest mixed albums of ALL time.

Fo' sho' blindgonzo, fo' sho'.

Except as someone who rides Vancouver's transit system for three hours everyday, it does have it's flaws. Like the fact that skytrain stops running at 1 am (when the bars close at like 2 or 3).

But yes, you are correct about everything else.

A part of a robot, I reckon'.

Nah, I have no clue.

Sample and Hold.. haha oh Mike!

I suppose Pat and John have got their harmonies down pretty tight, so why add another voice

Four part harmonies man, four part harmonies!!!!

For vox, you want large diaphragm. For drums, get large diaphragm for the overheads, oh and make sure one is bidirectoional and use the mid-side technique.

For acoustic guitars, I usually use condensers. For amps, dynamics... but you know, it depends on the instrument and how it's being played. There's no rules. If someone tells you there's a rule, break it, that's how you can discover some of the most interesting things.

p.s. this should be in Solid State Technology but... no biggy!

Hi! Welcome to the boards. My favorite Wilco album is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. You should check out Jeff's old band "Uncle Tupelo" next.

If Mike can sing why doesn't he sing back up in Wilco?

I was pretty surprised when I heard them bust out Too Far Apart (I didn't even recognize it at first), Hesitating Beauty, and Bob Dylan's Beard during sound check at Vancouver.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one that thinks the White Stripes are going to break up.

Is that Jason Molina's cousin as the rumours say??

Don't know about Lennon but Pecan Pie always reminded me of McCartney.

Ummm, she could have a seizure and then what's her 8 yr old sister suppose to do about it?!?

I was just meaning in general. I agree with, don't worry!

I agree with JorgeFabregas, 11 years old is well enough to stay home by yourself. Don't like, 11 year olds baby sit kids? (I don't know, I haven't been that age for 9 years). However she's got epilepsy but I don't really know how that effects things.

I want to see Let It Be on DVD. One day... one day...

The Yamaha Motif and Motif ES (and their cheaper siblings with the same sounds -- S90 and S90 ES) are also excellent and give you a few more options if you like to play with that stuff.

I've used both the Motif and the S90 a lot and I have to say that the sounds are TERRIBLE on it. But that's just my opinion.

Ok, deep breath...so I realize it's for a good cause and all, but how the fuck can they put on a Woody tribute with Bragg there and a bunch of other notables, and no Wilco??? That's RIDICULOUS. What, is Bright Eyes gonna sing California Stars? I think not.

 

Maybe they can get Wilco on stage early like 5pm and get them on a plane to Detroit a.s.a.p. after that? Obviously the band's first commitment has to be to the fans at the Detroit show. Seriously, this is fucked up. Someone's ass is gonna be fired.

Yeah because you know, it's just that easy. Never mind the equipment and all the hassle involved with that.

Performing together? Like, on stage at the same time, together??

Currently writing with Guthrie are Lou Reed, the jazz bassist Rob Wasserman, the cabaret satirist Nellie McKay, the rapper Michael Franti and the alt-country artist Jay Farrar.

I believe there's a Wilco mention in Chronicles.

This is correct. He talks about trying to get to Woody's house to get his unfinished songs, but Woody's wife wasn't home. He mentions that years later Wilco and Billy Bragg compose lyrics to these songs. He also remarks that he tried getting those lyrics before most of the band was even born.
