Not Wilco, but at a very small street/music festival in Annapolis, I heard the strains of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" being performed and I rushed over to see who it was. Turns out it was a lone guy...WITH A DUDE MIMING ALONG TO THE SONG.

like this?

I went back and listened, and for some reason it made me think of Steve Carell yelling out "Kelly Clarkson!" in "40 Year Old Virgin."

See you at midnight Monday!

Nels said something after the show about not caring if it hit him, just don't hit his new guitar.

I usually get a chuckle out of these old-timers reviewing new records. This time they take on Wilco. I tried to search but couldn't find it posted before.

Warning, there is some course language at the start.

That is exactly what I thought when jeff made the comment about the pointers. Are you sure Wayne was there, I didn't see him. I must have miscounted the nothings, sorry

Yes, he and his wife were stage right for the middle part of the show. I didn't seem them there at the beginning or end though. Also, the Heartless Bastards tweeted about it. http://twitter.com/thehbastards

By my count it was 35, I would also like to mention the douchbag comment about the guy with the lazer pointer was pretty funny. It was good to see the guys, and jeff especially in such a good mood. Great show

I thought the laser pointer criticism was funny in particular because Wayne Coyne was standing just offstage, and the Flaming Lips hand out laser pointers to the entire crowd.

did anyone count the "nothing"'s?

It was somewhere around 36, I think.

I think I would have preferred the planned ending (Kingpin/Red Eyed/Got You), rather than Hoodoo. Oh well.

A few snaps from the front row:

I saw them open for Andrew Bird. Okkervil would have been fun.

I love that for once, there is something in Oklahoma worth driving to see.

 

Precisely my point. Enjoy your stay in Oklahoma.

I love that for once, Texans are driving here for something.

My productivity at work today is less than optimal.

I'm an OU fan. But I couldn't get the song out of my head that night. So embarrassing.

I'm down!

Why would Jeff need to inform Jay of his new address?

It was a joke. Goodness. Obviously he doesn't have to tell him where he moved.

Woah, this Unlikely Japan song looks intriguing, possibly an AGIB outtake if it's from 2003. I hope Leroy's on it.

I think I read somewhere that it's an alternate recording of "Impossible Germany."

Dallas has been blown off by Wilco AND Springsteen.

 

All is not well in Crowdom.

I wear out I-35 going to Dallas for concerts and sporting events. So you can come to OKC once. June 15. It's only 3 hours away. Tickets are still available. I'll buy you a beer. Deal?

I've been keeping an eye on the case information to see if the case is dropped or perhaps eventually lives on in the name of Jay's estate. I noticed the other day that the summons was returned. Apparently Jeff moved and didn't feel the need to inform Jay.

Being There

Summerteeth

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

A Ghost Is Born

Sky Blue Sky

Wilco (The Album) II

Wilco (The Album)

They also play a clip from the song Walken at Phillies home games when someone is walked to first base. Actually it's the begininng of the song that goes "I'm Walken all by myself".

That's awesome, and much better than "Free Ride," which I've heard in a few stadiums.
