Is Times Like These not the Di Vinci Code of music?? That said, I don't think Dave has done his equivalent of Cloud Atlas so I guess Tom reigns supreme.

Dave is a nice guy and I'll always sort of admire him, but yeah, even when I saw them in 2003, they did a few long "jams" that were too long (and not jams at all, completely rehearsed long versions of what should be 3 minute songs). I read somewhere that "Dave is the Tom Hanks of rock" and I think that's a really good comparison.

Yeah I should look into that. A first pressing in good shape would have easily been a $30 record in a store. Estate sales are better than my idea of getting a time machine and going to thrift stores in the late 90s.

Ummm.... .....Wouldn't Harvest Moon's lyrics be about Pegi??

3 bucks?!? Good find.

I have the same issue with getting to forums.viachicago.org. Also on Chrome.

That is a show you will want to be on the rail for, my friend. Enjoy!

Today, for the first time in, probably, a decade I changed my name on here. And right after I realized a way better name I should have changed to. I'll have to wait 90 days. Curses!!

Ahh new KV!!! http://youtu.be/7mbh43HgT4U Great song. Can't wait to see him in December.

More Jack White tonight! Yeah definitely, most people don't have lighters but everyone would have a phone.

Oh man, it was a little annoying having my phone locked away. I wasn't crazy about not being able to check the time or message my wife when she was at the merch booth. I'm, admittedly, not opposed to taking a quick photo at the beginning of the set either. But it was nice not having jabronies filming videos, holding up their phones, letting their flash go, and shoving their phones next to the people on the rail's faces (this happened to me during Spoon earlier this year). Also it was nice seeing the warmth of actual lighters again and not a bunch of phone screens during slow songs.

Jack White!

Hey all, I'm assuming since bböp hasn't posted anything (and the fact that I didn't see him), means we're bböpless for this recap. I, unfortunately, am no bböp, but gosh darnit I'll give it my best shot. First up, no setlist, though someone nearby was keeping track, maybe they are on here and will post?? It was only a 60 minute set, stalwarts like California Stars, Jesus Etc, Locator, Misunderstood, Hummingbird, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Not For The Season, and I'm The Man Who Loves You were played. Uncle Tupelo's New Madrid and We've Been Had Were also played. Four new songs were play

Mavis Staples, Whitney, Parquet Courts (from a distance), The Decemberists again doing The Crane Wife in full, and.... some songwriter named Jeff Tweedy.

A (very) young Cowboy Poet actually really liked Weezer, one of the first bands I ever got into and a gateway to Pixies, Nirvana, etc. But I don't think I could make it through a Weezer set in 2018... (maaaybe if it was just Blue and Pinkerton played back to back... for the nostalgia!!). But fortunately, it was a non-Weezer show. The band that opened is Sleigh Bells and they were the worst goddamn band I've ever seen. I'd watch Weezer play Beverly Hills a thousand times before I'd ever watch one of their sets again. They were 90% prerecorded, with two guys with BC Rich metal guitars doing some

The Decemberists, Waxahatchee, Death Cab For Cutie. Yeah no complaints from me, they were great! Paz even sang Gigantic which I wasn't expecting.

The Pixies!

Wait, did I misread that or are you saying Nels sang What Light?! Also that line up looked great this year, hope you had fun!

Is this fucking guy for real?

Hiss Golden Messenger!

Isn't Can't Stand It shot in a hospital?? I can't seem to find Can't Stand It on YouTube and it's been at least 12 years since I've seen it so my memory might not be the most reliable but there is definitely (probably) a Can't Stand It video where Jeff is on a stretcher of some sort.

Kacy & Clayton and Waxahatchee!

Courtney Barnett!

The Flaming Lips!
