  2. Jeff looks like a McFly. Edit- and WHAT that ugly double neck guitar was played by someone other than Nels!
  3. This doesn't work for me because it splits my favorite releases up and uses a live album. This is like someone asking you to play Russian Roulette at a family reunion.
  4. Ha, Rhett Miller solo knock! Awesome! I like that song though, but I see how others do not. I like the ones that she bathes clothed for better.
  5. My main guitar rig is an eighties SG with a Seymour Duncan JB pickup in the bridge position. I run that through a Fulltone Fulldrive 2, a Keeley Fuzzhead and half a dozen other dorky boxes, somehow it finds its way to my Traynor YBA-3 head which I play through an Avatar 2x12 cabinet. If any of you guys play through heads instead of combos and wants a cabinet check out Avatar. They build stuff on a par with Orange for about a third of the price.
  6. What about it makes you think it sounds out of phase? Usually an out of phase drum sound is accompanied by one of two audible problems: 1. A weird swishy uneven sound that shifts in the high-mids/ treble in a distracting and random sounding way. 2. An unusually thin tone that lacks body and presence. I need to listen to that track. I'm gonna be sad if you're right cause I've loved the drum sounds on that record.
  7. Good stuff. Glad to hear you made it through. That computer, tech-difficulty stuff is the least fun part of learning. Be sure to ask if you want to know more about microphone brands, types, techniques etc.
  8. What you know those guys, so you know how they will be? Or you are questioning us because we know how they will be? At what point is that reasonable, or intelligent? Is the answer to the question-thread you started supposed to be in numerical format? Forget being a 'newb', posting on this board doesn't make anyone special. But- you might have more fun if you use this place as an opportunity to ask questions/make discussion on side projects, new releases, shows etc. Your question is about as conversation provoking as us sitting around speculating when you might break up with your signifi
  9. I had thought maybe Triremes Row was some scenic street in the old country, then I figured out that it is a reference to ancient Greek ships and the manner in which they are rowed. I also didn't know rowed was a word, but I can think of no other way in which to conjugate it.
  10. This was my fifth Wilco show and it had to be a contender for best ever. My girlfriend and I had GA tickets and after getting super bad vibes from a neurotic dude who was not ok with us sitting next to and only partially on the tarp he was using to save twenty seats we ended up finding a seat in row five. It sounded amazing and we could see everybody. I feel like these guys have figured out how to fill an amphitheater like Red Rocks with energy. Definitely beat their last time at RR. Jeff seemed super relaxed, he didn't even get irritated or wag a finger when someone chucked a glow stick
  11. AGIB YHF BT WTA SBS ST AM I don't even know if that's how I really feel- that's a tough list to make. My top and bottom picks are pretty certain though.
  12. Got mine. No disappointment at all. And both the Vinyl and the CD sound way better than the stream.
  13. For those interested this is easily found on the Youtube. Although be warned, the stage presence of Feist can be dangerously adorable and charismatic.
  14. Ah, the B-Side fetishism. I agree that it is good. I enjoy this track. I have no idea where you could stick it on AGIB where it would work with the flow. I also think the Vocoder effect (along with the pure electronics) at the end might take it so far outside of the Wilco vocabulary it might not work on any Wilco record unless there was a lot more of that (which I might not like at all). It definitely has a commonality with the atmosphere of Panthers (which I also fetishize). I have never found a Wilco B-Side that I thought could fit right in the tracklist (except maybe Cars Can't Escap
  15. How'd they pull off Deeper Down? Rusty first try, or did it live up to the recording?
  16. PM? Big hearts to the lovely VCers.
  17. The boss ones work fine. I use mine as an outright boost for solos and such. You get all that volume boost ability with huge control over the tone. Handy, also nice if you have to play acoustic guitar through an electric amp. Can reduce feedback and get you closer to a regular acoustic tone in a pinch.
  18. SBS is better than your record. (maybe that should be my signature)
  19. Wow, I thought this would be good live but..... wow. Sounds like they don't really need to 'ease this one into the setlist'. They kind of own it already.
  20. Yeah, I still love it. I'm no longer listening to it every day. More like I take a week off and then rock it front to back again. I think Deeper Down- BBN- One Wing is the best run on the album, but I like it all.
  21. Jim was never in the band. He played on Ghost and it was awesome, but he was never a regular part of the band.
