But - and I'm sure a part of it was just because of where I was standing - I felt that a fair portion of the audience was downright rude
WILCO fans, for the most part, suck. Have for years now. Worst fans ever, unfortunately.
They aren't the only band whose fan-base has gone downhill as they've become more popular.
It's almost Newton's 13th law of band popularity--the more popular a band becomes, the worse their fans are.
Hold on to the memories of WILCO pre-popularity. WILCO fans were much cooler back then.

WILCO's various classic albums--Summerteeth, YHF--couldn't have come from anywhere else but Chicago in the late 90's, early 00's.
The WILCO of those albums and tours has more to do with Champaign, Illinois than St Louis, Missouri, but it's all based in and grew out of
Chicago and its rich community of musicians.
Chicago doesn't need WILCO, there are plenty of other great bands that call Chicago home, but WILCO most definitely needed Chicago to get to where the band is today.

ATP is returning to it's original and best location, Camber Sands in Rye, for the first ATP 2008 weekend, May 9-11.
http://www.atpfestival.com/events/pitchfor...ws.php?view=708
5th October 2007
ATP VS PITCHFORK - MAY 9 - 11 2008
We are happy to announce the first part of the Spring/Summer ATP's. We are also excited to be going back to the original home of ATP back down at Camber Sands, but we are giving fans the best of both worlds by doing one event at Camber and the second weekend at Minehead.
As you may well know Portishead has now officially sold out.
But fret you not, if you have missed out on tickets, for today we would like to announce that the curators for the first May weekend of 2008 is Pitchfork Media vs ATP at the original ATP site of Camber Sands Holiday Camp.
Taking place on May 9

From a 2005 ticketed show at Pritzker:
"With only a few minor bumps, it proved an ideal place to hear music and bid farewell to summer. Under architect Frank Gehry's web-work of overhead speakers, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Lawn tickets went for $10, while seats near the stage were priced at $50.
Food was allowed, but drinks--including water bottles--were not. News of that policy didn't reach everyone and 300-some fans chose to stay outside and drink wine they brought.
"We tried to call [to find out details]," said Lisa Ellermann, 28, of Wicker Park. "There was an information line with no information on it. We thought it'd be just like Wednesday nights listening to the symphony."
Inside the venue, water and soda were priced at $4. Wine was $8; beer was $6-7 per glass."

do you have anything to back up those statistics???
furthermore is Mr Lackey making the poster? Im excited to buy a few for myself and friends that couldnt make it..
I got em from Kot's book. Pages 8, 13 and 420. And from the man himself:
-
Given how drunk/high Tweedy was during the making of 95% of Wilco's music, it's the least he can do to allow us to alter our state while consuming to mirror his at the time of creation. It's a rock show, ferrockinoutloud, let us have our beer...fuggit, a flask and a one-hitter. saul good.
-
yes, there can only be two types of artists.
Obliviously. Now you're catching on.
-
Nah, not every artist will sell out their art for the corporate dollars.
The cost of making and distributing a recording has fallen to the point where you no longer need a label to finance it for you.
There'll be two kinds of artists: corporate whores and those who do it for the love of music.
The Pitchfork approved former will do anything and everything to sustain their fat lives by selling their music to anyone and everyone.
The latter will, like T.S. Eliot, rely on a day job or other line of work for their income and produce their art...cuz they still love rock and roll.

1st pair, tried right at 10 AM:
North Terrace, ROW C, Seats 29,31
2nd pair, tried an hour later:
North Terrace, ROW CC, Seats 5,7
The 2nd pair are better than the first, aren't they?

Ya think? Yeah, go ahead, I doubt anyone can top that level of air-headed idiocy, even if there are 3 weeks left.
The June 2007 Award for most ridiculously laughable rumination on musicians "selling out" goes to:
"it's a relief to know that none of them are going to be found dead one day with a note that makes you feel guilty for all the pressure you put on them to live out some impossible ideal of not selling out."
(and ya thought this place had drama queens on the selling-out issue. mere ladies in waiting in comparison) 169% Pure Rubbish. It's very hard to achieve that level of purity. You have to be either batshit insane or very, very talented.

Most people who use standard dvrs provided by their cable/satellite provider don't have the MythTV style automagic ad-skipping software and still watch commercials--and they might rewind and watch the really good ones again/closer. Cable and satellite provided DVRs don't seem to provide the ad-skipping function.
Here's how you can add a 30 second skip to your Comcast Motorola DVR remote:
The following technique can be used to map an unused or unneeded button on the "silver" remote to the 30-second skip command. Current versions of the i-Guide software will skip forward 30 seconds into a recording when this command is sent. A good choice is the 'A / Lock' button since many users don't need that function; you can feel both the '15-second-back' and '30-second-skip' buttons with one finger and move between them without looking. Another option is to reprogram the '15-second back' button, since PgDn already provides that functionality.
1. Press the "Cable" button at the top of the remote to put it into Cable Box control mode.
2. Press and hold the "Setup" button until the "Cable" button blinks twice.
3. Type in the code 994. The "Cable" button will blink twice.
4. Press (do not hold) the "Setup" button.
5. Type in the code 00173.
6. Press whatever button you want to map the 30-second skip command to (ex: A / Lock). The "Cable" button will blink twice if successful.
If you build your own MythTV/SageTV/BeyondTV DVR you'll have much more control over commercials--automatically skipping them, if you like--and
won't have to pay monthly subscription fees for the DVR box and service.

Check your local listings for Matlock, Murder She Wrote and something called 'the War at Home'.

oh please. get over yourselves people.
wilco makes great records. VW makes great commercials. and cars that are fun to drive.
i'd rather hear a wilco song in a well-crafted smart, creative VW commerical then hear one of their songs on a crappy
mainstream radio station.
Wilco does make great records.
Judging by these efforts, VW makes the opposite of great commercials.
And if you think an over-priced, under-powered, cramped car that breaks down at random is fun to drive, maybe give
S&M, marriage or prison a try...all at the same time.
is this someone from the ad agency that shit out these turds? I haven't been counting but Diebold has and the votes are ~9 to 1
against these being good ads.

That guy just called my grandmother a "brand." Jesus.
Bigger brand: Jesus, the Devil, your grandmother or WILCO?

When I first watched the show dude seemed to be sick all the time. Found out later he wasn't sick sick that often, just hungover a lot.

WILCO selling its music to VW leaves some with a bad emotional after-taste:

Screw that, move em to Turner and make em GA.
