lost highway

he's a charming goof ball-ripped his head off, ate his heart, finished the song

my webcast window just said 'warning dangerous ideas'

damn mine cut too on the new song!!!

Am I the only person on earth who has no idea what a superball is. Please enlighten me.

Sort of like when someone compliments my layup, because they know I cant slam dunk, possibly due to being pigmentally challenged.

Man I would love to hear the demo version of 'Birds and Ships' sans Natalie Merchant vox. A well written super-simple endearing song.

I found Jim Webb's comments on class divisions, and Jackson's (not my favorite historic politician) view that you judge economic conditions from Main St. instead of Wall St. to be how you say: fresh and on time. Anti War rhetoric is indeed about as predictable as it is necessary, but you can not deny the thrill of seeing a major politician call the war four years of a disasterous mistake AND THEN have the FOX NEWS REPUBLICAN ANALYST not even bother to refute him. Bush is in a lonely lonely place, because he has steered our country into the toilet and his own people are turning on him.

Bush is center stage on the TV, and I gotta take a sec to vent on the internet. He suddenly wants to fix health care, and schools, and balance the budget (that Clinton meticulously perfected in order for Bush to destroy it) all while cutting taxes. Huh.....his plan is if your poor, you get a write off for health care so you dont have to pay as much tax. So he is going to magically fix health care by having more people pay less taxes, while the rest continue to pay what has alway been not enough. Genius. Meanwhile we got a trillion dollar war that never ends.

Am I the only one on the board that thinks the Panthers version from the AGIB sessions is completely mesmerizing (sp?). Its so good I reach for adjectives I can hardly spell.

Where do you put it so you dont lose it? (re--Im a dumby who needs it on my headstock or I will lose the thing along with my sense of security)

What kind of tea does he drink? His voice sounds so much more rich and strong than it ever has before.

Okay heres where I get nit picky: the pitchfork blurb has a link to a stream of The Thanks I Get and says it is off the upcoming album. The link is to Tweedy's solo version from the DVD. Can we trust Pitchfork actually knows the confirmed tracklist? It has been a matter of uncertainty as to weather that tasty soulful pop of ..thanks I get, will actually be featured on the album. If you care about this please commence the debate. If you dont: I am sorry, I am just a little too excited for this album.

From Pitchfork: Tweedy Reveals Wilco LP Title, Release Date Finally, some concrete Wilco album news! According to a tip from Pitchfork reader Collin Brown and later confirmed by Wilco's publicist, last night at a solo show in Nashville, Jeff Tweedy announced that his band's forthcoming record is called Blue Sky Blue and it will be out May 15 via Nonesuch. It will be the band's first studio release since 2004's A Ghost Is Born. Wilco have also scheduled three Australian dates, and Tweedy will continue to make the solo rounds through the end of the month. For all side project dates, back i

yeah a guitar clerk once told me shubb or die, but i have a somewhat lame reason for resisting: I like having my capo on the headstock of my guitar so I dont lose it and so I can toss it on my guitar quick and easy without fumbling around for it. They are and I have to tune it again, it makes for annoying breaks in anotherwise smooth stream of folk rock.

I have become a firm believer in the power of a capo to a singer, songwriter, guitarist etc. But I rock it with a band/live etc. and I can not for the life of me put a capo on the neck of my guitar without it going out of tune, so I retune to compensate but that slows down the show or band practice. Does anyone know a tip for putting a capo on the neck w/o it going sharp?

Its so true but the songs are SO fun to play. Every couple months I tackle a new one (they are pretty hard for me to finger pick) and I can start to see his logic. I recently knocked Cello Song of the list if only because you just have to drop your G string a half step (and I am once again reminded that any reference to a G string still has potential sexual reference to my child like mind.)

Thats a tough tuning to motivate oneself to use. Nick Drake is the same way, if you want to try playing the song properly you have to pause for two minutes to retune the whole guitar.

I have a DD6 cause my love'd DD5 broke and they dont make them. The DD6 is okay but if you set it hot (louded delay in the mix, longer time to decay) it takes like a half a minute to shut up after you turn it off. This can be cool for fadeouts transitioning parts but mostly its infuriating. Nels Cline made a similar argument for the DD3 on his gear geek section on his site because it actually calms down pretty fast when you turn it off.

It was only an hour and forty some odd minutes, 1:50 max. Maybe you needed more strawberry cough.

Loved it, seemed to have some Biblical motifs. Michal Cain-loveable as always.

But fortunately we have no Nirvana reunion to destroy our ability to romanticize them. Meanwhile listen to Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Floyd the Barber, Something in the Way or Milk It. Not all of Nirvana's material draws from the Pixies. I love the Pixies, but I don't think they could do what The Decemberists do. Colbert needs to listen to the Crane Wife, and Doolittle one more time and then enjoy an apple and an orange.

Ah then you are new to the all to familiar Jeff vs. Jay arguments, or perhaps you would enjoy a more obscure Kotche vs. Koomer contest, or the more classic viachicago.org argument Tweedy vs. Farrar, but there is more space in the Bach vs. Sansone battles. The trouble is everyone wants Leroy for an uncle and Pat for a little brother so they have a hard time imagining death matches or comparing musical prowess.

Well, they said it would be more concise, which I think throws epic out the window. I find AGIB is an enjoyably long experience but who can get mad if Wilco crams the hits and spares not a moment in a traditional LP length album?

The revamped, building ho-down version of sunken treasure they were doing in 2006 was so much more awesome to me then the trad. BT version. At least in the live sense. As a matter of fact, you got an mp3 of that one froggie?

ole'! You do your research, not such a newby after all.
