any clue, anyone?

sorry if this has been previously answered, i did a search but couldn't find anything on the subject.

does anyone know if orphans: brawlers, bawlers and bitches is available on vinyl, and if so where??? can't seem to find it anywhere so im presuming it hasn't been pressed on vinyl.

cheers for your help guys!

There are hundreds of Beatle/Beatles solo boots out there - I think some of those demos were on that Lennon box set a few years ago.

 

I have never really went after the solo stuff. I have All Things Must Pass, Band on The Run/Wings Over America, a Lennon Best-of, and a Ringo 45 - that's about it.

 

I'll take a look if you want.

 

John Lennon - Between The Lines: complete home recordings 1975-1980

 

do you have a bootcity account

fantastic album! best solo record put out by an ex-beatle imo.

Dammit, i've got a ticket for a mate's birthday to see Cold War Kids at Koko on that day.

 

I don't know what to do.

hmm buy your mate a few beers and tell him you are off to see wilco. he will understand.

there aren't many people I'd want to see 2 nights on the trot (I used to do it for The Who...when Keith was around..), but chances of doing this (especially outside of america) don't come around very often, so ... some things just have to be done!!

just scored me another night of wilco! yikes, never thought i would have the chance to see them 2 nights in a row in london

happy birthday phil!!

listening to phil & friends 4-16-1999 at the warfield as we speak, and god damn, this is what music is all about.

talk about a ridiculous P&F lineup...trey anastasio, page mcconell, john molo and steve kimock. now that lineup needs to make another appearance

hmmm nevermind and ten are both above abbey road?!?! yea, right! i didn't even bother looking past number 12 after seeing this. load of bollucks if you ask me.

For me, the appeal of ALTWS is two-fold: the powerful lyrics that underly the quiet beginning (is he really saying that?) followed by the cataclysm of sound that becomes this utter catharsis of guitar playing. I feel like I am peering into Jeff Tweedy's soul and am completely drawn in, even though I feel guilty for it.

 

Rolling Stone.com used to have a video of them playing this song live at Coachella. It was amazing. To watch the interplay between Jeff and Nels, to see Glenn powering through on the drums, and then watching each member of the band working together, it's a spiritual thing to see it. I feel as if Jeff and Nels are engaged in some form of combat up there on stage, and Jeff's concentration is just incredible.

amen brother!!

i would love nothing more than to see this song make a return on the upcoming tour!

cough, shepherds bush, cough.

I picked up Live @ Massey Hall today the cd/dvd combo and if you are a neil young fan and don't want to wait for the box set this is an awesome cd/dvd combo.

 

the sound quality is excellent. I have this boot and the london boot which was similar show and the sound quality is great compared to those boots. I have not watched the dvd yet although i'm excited to do that assoon as i get off of work.

 

The cheapest i found it was 15.98 for the combo at Target.

 

Can't beat acoustic versions of cowgirl in the sand and down by the river. Plus the rendition of man needs a maid and heart of gold played together is very cool.

i went to HMV today to pick this up and it turns out it isn't being released until next week over here!

I think it comes out tomorrow - March 13th.

woah, are you serious? this soon?!?! well, good job i recently increased my overdraft limit

It's coming. Trailor is up.

that is different from the massey hall trailor i saw a month ago. it looks like it could be a trailor for the box set...lets hope so!

yes, regina is brilliant! you should check out 'soviet kitsch'. her best stuff IMO

Time Out is good as a reference for sure.

 

If you're looking for classic venues, look up the following:

 

The Scala (http://www.scala-london.co.uk/)

The Roundhouse (http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/)

Hammersmith Palais (which is due to be knocked down at the end of the month, The Good The Bad and The Queen are playing the last ever gig there) (http://www.barclub.com/hammersmithpalais/)

London Astoria (http://www.meanfiddler.com/displayPage_astoria.asp?PageID=250)

Shepherds Bush Empire (http://www.shepherds-bush-empire.co.uk/)

 

Those are my favourites anyway... some of the other UK VCers might have others. I can heavily recommend The Scala, fantastic venue.

these are some of my favourites also, including the borderline. however, if you were looking for somewhere that just has some live music where you can stand and have a beer, i would suggest notting hill arts club.

oh, yes! anyone have any idea when tickets for the london gig go on sale? the empire doesn't have it listed on their site.

Dont forget The Postal Service too!

 

But yeah - the best place to start I reckon would be Rabbit Fur Coat, then if you like, go explore the Rilo Kiley albums.

jenny lewis was in the postal service?!? yikes, shows how much i know about her career

well, i'm probably the wrong person to answer (i'm a total jenny lewis fangirl), but if you like some good alt-country-ish stuff with beautiful harmonies, check our her solo album, rabbit fur coat. if you're a fan of some good indie pop, check out rilo kiley - i suggest in the following order:

 

the execution of all things

more adventurous

take offs & landings

 

though i love all 3 albums...

cheers for all your help, i will definately check out rabbit fur coat!

getting a bit off topic, but can anyone suggest where to begin if one was interested in indulging in some jenny lewis?

yes, i admit i am unfamiliar with her repitoire.

can someone just post a list of what the good songs are, puh-leez

some of my personal favourites are:

to be young

oh my sweet carolina

damn, sam (i love a woman that rains)

come pick me up

political scientist

love is hell

the shadowlands

i see monsters

english girls approximately

hotel chelsea nights

la cienga just smiled

answering bell

firecracker

new york, new york

meadowlake street

easy plateau

let it ride

if i am a stranger

dance all night

just a taster

ATP vs the Fans festival in England have posted on their site that they've put an offer out to Wilco and are waiting for a response

london please!

Being There.

if you smoke pot and like smelly hippies spinning around sure they are fun. If you hate everything about hippies, jam band etc. don't go.

bit much don't you think? i guess if he suggested seeing a morrisey gig he would be surrounded by a bucnh of wrist-slashing manic depressives? stereotyping isn't cool.

i saw them headline a gig at a small university in the US back in 2002 and as i recall, only one or two songs were over 5 minutes in length. not sure how that constitutes a 'jam band'...

i agree with everyone else, as an opening act they are enjoyable, but perhaps not as a headlining act unless it is cheap.
