lost highway

Explain the Godirch sound........I know it sounds good but beyond that I can't peg it. What did he do besides a million radiohead albums and one beck album?

Your enthusiasm makes up for your writing. Great fan, terrible critic. Only thing that seems silly to me is insisting the band broke up, or that Jay Bennett 'took the reigns'....oh yeah and if YHF is britpop then Blur is post hardcore.

It's around a half hour long. Half a dozen songs, some good cinematography of Chicago and some good interviews. It would have been better if they had been able to capture the recording of the album instead of just pre-tour rehearsal, which they had intended to do but were delayed for some reason. It could have been like IATTBYH, except with no drama........a love fest of musical proportions.

See this is what I'm talking about! If the U.S. doesn't get up, and get to work, Australia is going to take it all. What's worse the Canadian dollar has surpassed ours. For shame stars and stripes, for shame.

I'm telling you theyre gonna do a DVD. I bet.

I think the story goes, Mike was backstage or hidden at the mixing desk cueing YHF sample for them, and at some point they decided he should be onstage as he was performing the tunes as well. 204 keys later he has an impenetrable fort of music technology and skill on the Wilco stage. And what a loose cannon, you can tell he's one of rocks most torrid personalities.

More love to the frog. No one would happen to have the recent live Cars Cant Escape? Eh? Eh?

I think someone said they played it in Chicago when they had the request forum up on Wilcoworld.

Does anyone have an mp3 of their recent performance of this tune. I'm a little curious how it sounds in the live scenario. Cheers.

We have to resign ourselves to assuming the one or two tracks we have never, and probably will never hear were omitted due to their relative mediocrity. I would still love to hear them, though. Some day some psycho is going to steal Jeff Tweedy's I-Pod and post a ridiculously uneven collection of instrumentals, improvisations and studio outtakes that were not intended for public consumption. Or maybe twenty years from now they will be tossed into a massive boxset that we will all be compelled to buy.

Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Burn to Shine DVD series) is shooting some of their live shows this spring. That has DVD written all over it.

There is 'Let's Fight' and probably one or two others that they never played live. Possibly hidden away forever.......

They're great. I getta see them at a 150 capacity venue in a few weeks.

The show was possibly my favorite yet. The only moment I started to roll my eyes was when ITMWLY started for the upteenth show, but they have toyed with it a little and it was totally amazing. Drunk guy next to me was hollering to his friend that they would play 'I Got You' I almost bet him ten bucks they wouldn't. Good thing I didn't. Anyone who thinks Nels is all wank should have seen him pogoing like a teenager while strumming an open chord on Shot in the Arm. Beautiful show.

I'm leaving in an hour and I am so freakin excited. More on this later.

Yeah DVD. Whoooo!

Good to know. It costs around thirty bucks these days due to it being out of print I believe.

I love me some Bill Fay. I love s/t and Time of the Last Persecution. I like Tommorrow, Tommorrow, Tomorrow. The only one I haven't heard is the demos collection 'From the Bottom....' Anyone heard it? Reviews?

Foo Part is a Neu! song. Pass it on.

I like Gabor's on 13th St. Two blocks south of Colfax where the Filmore is located and a few blocks east up the hill. Very mellow, decent jukebox. If you like vegetarian cuisine there is a charming bar with veggie pizza and bar food at 13th and Grant called City O City. Fancy local beers, probably four or five blocks from the Fillmore.

You will die a painful death.

Only time I have ever laughed really hard from something on this board, and I think it was because that was really wrong for reasons I can't even understand.

Look at this guy on the Wilcoworld page (if you catch the right one). He's jumping like he's in Black Flag. That's a more visceral Wilco picture then ever I've seen.

I've got mine!!!! Oh sorry, I'm sure everything will work out well for you guys.

Does anyone have a live version available?
