Other than my head in the back of the room, I somehow avoided all of Morgan's photos. You'll just have to wait.

I thought that your image doesn't show up on film?

i have a few of them on fantasy, Lindstrom, Cantu, Ross, Nolasco, Volstad, Bonifacio. I am rooting for them in the East.

I have Uggla and Bonifacio on mine. However, I'm rooting for the Braves.

They probably rationalise it by matcing the volume of the commercial to the loudest sound in the tv show. So, if you're watching a show with gunfire and explosions, the commercial can be as loud as the sound of gunfire or explosions and not be considered louder than the tv show.

That's basically what compression is. The overall volume isn't louder, technically, but it sounds louder because all of the quieter sounds have been made the same volume as the loudest. The TV show will have peaks and valleys, but the commercial is basically a solid bar of unnatural shitness.

Happy birthday!!!!!

Yes.

A little off topic but I am also writing an essay but mine is on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. It can be about anything so I'm basically just doing an analysis of the album. Does anyone know of any good readings or articles that deal with YHF?

For what it's worth:

The Kot book has some good stuff, also.

i was looking at a discounted CD price of $10 (because you are dealing in bulk) X 14 albums, so in the neighborhood of $140-$150? that wouldn't be so bad.

 

also, can someone please explain (without debating), why mono is preferable? is it only preferable on some albums?

My understanding is that all of the albums (except the White album?) were imagined as mono in the band's view, though the record company released later ones in stereo in the U.S. Also, the first few were released in mono only.

I love the Singing Nerd. Happy Birthday! just voted again for Vegas! (good idea, Wendy)

Awesome site!

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

The Braves were awesome last night. Hopefully this means McCann can handle the cleanup spot, Frenchie's back, and Schafer is the real deal. This could be a very good year.

Wow. Forgot that tickets went on sale at 10 today, but I was able to just snage 2 $30 tickets. Finally going to be able to see these guys.

Wow. Wolverine really did leak.

Sorry, but I wasn't rolling my eyes at stagerug.

Sorry if you're having a bad day. Do you want to talk about it?

Is that Mets/Sox game going to get played tonite and if so, can i see it on the TeeVee?

It is free on MLB.TV 6:10PM ET

Hopefully this link works for you:

EDIT: You must register, but it's free.

Sure, but the mp3s are not from the festival.

Geez. Give the guy a break.

Apparently you can type in any string in the URL after "hero.php?nn=" and get your name inserted in there. These internet bots are mighty clever, I tell ya...

This is useful. Thanks!

Someone has a crush on Jeff Tweedy. Click here to find out who!

Hmm that graph does show a worryingly downward trend. Maybe they should go into artistic receivership.

"Whatever Works"

I'm a big Woody Allen fan and its good to see him back in New York. Cooler still is that Larry David is starring in this.

This has a ridiculous amount of potential. Can't wait to see it.

I only own Reckoning and Murmur, like them a lot, and prefer Reckoning over Murmur. I used to own Monster and thought it was good but not great. What should I go to next?

Austin City Limits is a television show.

The previous poster was thinking of the Austin City Limits Music Festival which Wilco played the day after the taping for the show Austin City Limits.

I voted no, but I would certainly have sex with a Radiohead fan. Unless they were wearing Uggs.

As a long time lurker who loves Wilco I felt I needed to respond to this. Are you insane? SBS was one of the best albums of 2007. The new album (diver down as Jeff stated in Burlington) will be the best album of the summer!!!!!!
