  1. I always thought the whole band should cover The Band's tune Stage Fright. Wilco's full band instrumentation would suit the song well.
  2. Once again, Max Johnston, a member of Wilco for two whole studio albums, is literally, left out of the equation.
  3. Tom Waits - What's He Building In There? Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Both creepy.
  4. I heard it for the first time on the 9:30 Club broadcast and I thought it had the same kind of vibe as a John Lennon solo tune. I can't think of a specific one but just the pissed off rock and roll how do you sleep vibe. I'll listen to whatever Jeff and the boys come up with for the next album and reserve my judgement until I sit with it for a while.
  5. My brother worked for a post production company and one of the jobs he did was write the script for this:
  6. From Billboard.com The track list has been revealed for the soundtrack to the Cirque Du Soleil/Beatles show "Love," due Nov. 21 via Apple Corps Ltd/Capitol. The 26-track disc, housed on a DVD-Audio/DVD-Video hybrid, will also be the legendary group's first album available in 5.1 Dolby Digital stereo. As previously reported, the music for the album and stage extravaganza was assembled by Beatles producer George Martin and his son, Giles, from the Beatles' original master tapes. In addition to the album cuts that were previewed to media last May, including "Lady Madonna," "Lucy in the Sky
  7. Olivia Tremor Control's "Dusk at Cubist Castle" is a good one from the Elephant 6 crew. I can't remember if Jeff Magnum plays on that one but it's one of my faves.
  8. Great line in there: "Broccoli and Cauliflower cut into florets and thrown immediately into the garbage. I fucking hate that."
  9. Safe Men was the one that attracted Stiller to Hamburg. Stiller saw the film, loved it and wanted to work with Hamburg, thus their partnership.
  10. I was browsing Amazon the other day and noticed the 1998 film Safe Men is finally out on DVD. I have a previously viewed VHS but am looking forward to purchasing the DVD. People either love or hate this movie but it's John Hamburg's directorial debut. Hamburg wrote/co-wrote Meet the Parents, Zoolander, Along Came Polly, etc. It's got a great cast, Paul Giamatti (Veal Chop) in one of his funniest roles; Michael Lerner as Big Fat Bernie Gayle, Providence Jewish Mafia; Sam Rockwell and Steve Zahn, Mark "Sweet 'Stache" Ruffalo; and Peter Dinklage as Harvey Fierstein's hired muscle. Again, i
  11. AM: I Must Be High/Too Far Apart BT: Red Eyed and Blue/Dreamer in My Dreams MAI: One By One/Christ for President ST: A Shot in the Arm/When You Wake Up Feeling Old MAII: Secret of the Sea/Joe DiMaggio Done It Again YHF: Kamera/War on War AGIB: Theologians/Less Than You Think That was tough. I'm sure people still like their least favorite pick but it still stings a little to say "least favorite." I can't believe all the "Why Would You Want To Live" least favorites. I dig that tune. Only reason "Joe DiMaggio..." gets a least vote is because he's a Yankee. Couldn't Guthrie write a Ted Wi
  12. Try playing some Band stuff. Robbie Robertson hardly ever strums a chord.
  13. Thanks! I got caught up in this and almost missed a meeting.
  14. I agree. Wonderful album. Buy it! I always thought the title track would be great in a movie, main character cruising around at night in some large town or small city.
  15. I heard the Jim Noir tune "In the Key of C" on the radio the other day and liked it. Anyone heard the the album? Also, looking for information on Jim Noir I found Peter, Bjorn and John. Anyone heard these guys? Thanks.
  16. Yeah, TMBG's No! is a huge hit in my house. My son even likes the CD ROM content on the disc which is little manipulative flash music videos for the songs. No one's mentioned Harry Nilsson's "The Point"? Definitely a kid friendly album that won't grate on your nerves. Jason Faulkner also did a Beatles instrumental lullaby album thats relaxing.
  17. I was a winner too. (Mine was the picture of my daughter in the Wilco onesie with the Heinekin bottle next to her.) The poster I received was the one with the bulldozer/backhoe/some kind of big rig holding the word Wilco. What a cool prize, original artwork signed by the whole band. It took about 4 weeks or so to get it. Also, I use Hotmail and the notification showed up in "Junk" mail because it wasn't from a recognized source so if anyone is awaiting word on a submitted photo and you use Hotmail, check your "Junk" folder.
  18. Of course you're all forgetting Peter Sellers was James Bond as well in the original Casino Royale. He was actually Evelyn Tremble ("Evelyn, isn't that a woman's name? No, it's mine.") but became James Bond to take on Orson Wells as LeChiffre. One-shot Lazenby was not the greatest James Bond but On Her Majesties Secret Service was one of the best all around James Bond movies. The fight scenes were tight, no spaceships, great opening theme song, and heart.
