  1. Are you looking for a finder's fee? Thanks Guey.
  2. Yeah- and he said he was afraid it would be like Paul Rodgers fronting QUeen. Hilarious!
  3. I knew it. I knew they would finally put it out. Woo hoo! Merry x-mas.
  4. He looked like he kicked off his jet lag for a recording session with a triple espresso and a joint. I bet that is a fun place to be hanging out right now.
  5. If you want to get into recording more often a good place to start is an Audio Technica 4033. You can get one on ebay for 300-400. They are used professionally on things like electric guitars, toms, bass guitars, acoustic guitars, some vocals, definitely room mic. That 2020 is fine if you wanna mess around, but a 4033 is a surprisingly, seriously, versatile mic of high quality for low cost.
  6. We're all so sorry Pat. We'll do better next time.
  7. I suggest this thread be renamed: Attention VCers here is photographic proof I have had a conversation with Pat Sansone.
  8. Crosby is such a saucy old bastard. When I see old interviews with him he just cracks me up. I put my vote down for Notorious, I really think the way that album is put together is a huge piece of the Wilco puzzle. Especially Wilco's last three albums. McGuinn came to speak at my college when I was a music major, it was awesome: him and a guitar and maybe fifteen music majors in a room. He was totally humble and unassuming.
  9. Does this mean a Pronto album is now available?
  10. Agreed, though we might be in the minority on that. Did you read of a new one? I was just wondering about him yesterday- he's due for some new stuff.
  11. Deerhoof-Offend Maggie Stereolab-Chemical Chords
  12. I wanna make sure all you night club goers know better than to put a pistol in a pair of sweat pants....
  13. My cats breath smells like cat food.
  14. Good call. This was actually an instance where I was turned on to the band because of critics. Not a bad record by any means, just felt a little 'lite'. Incidentally, have any of you ever heard a band called Elbow. I was just put on to them. Not necessarily the same as the National stuff, but I could see a fan of one enjoying the other. Pretty interesting/melodic stuff.
  15. No. Those are different tunes, most of which were recorded before Kotche got on board. The big noise came in after the demo's.
  16. It's about energy drinks, Monster mostly.
  17. It would be a perfect experiment: Start thread with title linking highly controversial and personal idea and Wilco. Allow members to link idea to Wilco for 1-2 pages. Then watch as controversial idea takes over and a sometimes civil, sometimes rude and other times hilarious debate circles round for 50 pages with little mention of Wilco.
  18. This album was so burdened by its critical praise by the time it landed on my ipod that it was hard to listen to it with a blank slate. It struck me as good but not great. A sort of Nick Cave for the latte crowd..... a more ballady Interpol maybe.
  19. Oh! Hi Wilco's new album. We've all been talking a lot about you. What are you into?
  20. Wow that is some powerfully medieval neurosis at work. Do you practice self flagellation? It does us no service to mistrust our bodies. The natural world is dynamic and plentiful, it is not only the cause but the very grounds of our every experience. Mistrust of the natural and the body itself is based only on fear of impermanence. We fear death and decay, so when our bodies exhibit these tendencies we call them names like "beast" or "evil". Evil is a purely human invention, it has no fundamental root in nature. The very subjectivity of its definition (as seen in a cross-cultural comp
  21. 2. You are a dualist. 3. Some call that the psyche. A soul is immortal, sentient experience both waking and dreaming can be considered part of an impermanent center of perception called 'the self'.
  22. I can relate to a lot of your gripes, they are a bit jock rock and nothing they've done lately has pleased my ears all that much. I think where you're wrong is that albums like S/T and the Colour and the Shape will be remembered fondly for being good nineties rock music. That said, they are unusual to be the efforts of a drummer after his famous rock band expired. The only drummer I can think of that was so successful as songwriter/band leader after his band expired is Phil Collins.
