  1. the Flume song by Bon Iver (well at least I can't get it out of my head...best use of the word flume by an artist this year...)

    here's the thing though. i know he deals with abstract wordplay and all, but in talking about the feathers and all that, i believe the word he should be using is "plume." i feel like he didn't have a dictionary or internet connection in the cabin, made the mistake and then couldn't re-record it. i'm not even kidding. it really bothers me. lovely song though. lovely album as well.

  2. there was one from like Being There era where he chose Buck Owens - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail and one of the live albums and then some Replacements and i forget what else...maybe that live Townes Van Zandt - Live At The Old Quarter?

  3. The National is owned by the NorVa and it looks like band are switching off ever tour, like Iron & Wine played The National this spring and then playde the NorVa just recently.

     

    anyway, Wilco has been playing C-ville and they need to come to Richmond the next time around for sure. i'm sick of driving to shows. i'd rather walk. :-)

  4. my pleasure :)

     

    honestly did not think he'd blow up even REMOTELY as big as he has... couldn't have happened to a nicer and more deserving fellow either imo. definitely seek out the 2 solo releases floating around (the Hazeltons EP and Self Record) they're both chock full of gems imo

     

    or perhaps a PM? i've got the second DeYarmond Edison if you are interested.

  5. Am I the only person scared at the prospect of this album being "remastered"? I think the production of early R.E.M. is almost a member of the band. I am a HUGE fan of the early years and can't bring myself to buy this.

     

    just download it and listen to it before you buy. the production is still intact and it sounds A LOT better.

  6. on casual day at the company i used to work for, i saw a guy wearing a Wilco t-shirt, at a Tweedy solo show, i found my distant cousin sitting directly behind me (hadn't talked to him in years)...and there is at least one other Richmonder on the board here...

     

    was in Baltimore earlier this year and someone commented on my Wilco shirt.

     

    that's about it.

  7. the first couple times spinning it, i liked a track or two, but thought the whole was kinda boring and "same-y." then, one day it took hold completely and has quickly become a personal favorite which is very close to my heart. it's simply gorgeous.

  8. >although should caveat, I think I run a little more Americana-y than the rest of this board these days.

     

    get with the times old man. i'm 26 and i love the old stuff (even older than Folkways): Skip James, Dock Boggs, Blind Willie McTell, Charley Patton, Robert Johnson, American Anthology of Folk, Goodbye Babylon, etc., but the simple fact is that there is a LOT of envelope,pushing forward-looking music coming out these days and it simply isn't getting radio play outside of XM and college radio. re: Arcade Fire, i love a good deal of indie music and i've listened to all of their stuff, but it has never done anything for me either. it's not particularly bad, but not really striking either.
