  1. Thats true, have you ever seen his Pat Boone impression. Yeesh.
  2. I bought the DVD and loved it the day it came out. I for one am not mad at all/haven't tried to download the mp3's yet, cause I can watch them on my tv, and listen to the last broadcast from the wilco tour, and watch the new my morning jacket dvd. In short it must be difficult to get so angry about such a small thing, that you can probably wait for. Come on folks, be well, peaceful and happy.
  3. I am sure someones got it, but you probably dont need one. Put your guitar in the tuning and its pretty self explanatory. He does the little hook lick with an open low D and then he slides on the D from the 2nd fret to the 4th. (even explaining it makes it sound less intuitive). Its basically a three chord song until he rocks out with Glenn at the end with D being open, G being everything on the 5th fret, and A everything on the 7th. Play along its fun
  4. wow this new one totally sounds like an old standard, the way 'please tell my brother did'. I can almost imagine Doc Watson doing it or something.
  5. Test this out, but I think its DADF#AE. He saves the E for when he plays the G chord which is everything on the 5th fret. I noticed on sunken treasure he had a really nice high chord when he played that and I think its the fact that the tuning puts a high 9 on top of the major chord.
  6. Can anyone tell us more about this mysterious new song?
  7. I played it dropped D til I saw it on the DVD. Is it DADGAD or some similarly folky tuning?
  8. What I can't help but think of is when he visited Denver. He tried the whole lets see if we can all be quiet together for a half a minute to see what it feels like. There was like fifteen or twenty people that just couldn't handel it. They screamed inane shit every couple seconds. They felt like third graders to me. It was as if theyre scared of being earnest or sincere in absorbing something artistic, or engaging in a moving communal experience. And he gave a similar sermon as what you see on the DVD, but I didn't at all feel like I was being treated as a 3rd grader, because he was adre
  9. Its funny how freaking likeable he is as a fellow and a musician. When there was little glimpses of him before the songs he played came up my girlfriend and I just kept saying "Oh look there's Glenn. Yeah Glenn, I can't wait til he plays."
  10. still so much anger. Or is it playful sarcasm that is occasionally misinterpreted by someone unfamilar with internet harsh jokes?
  11. This is a bit meta, but I cant help but comment that two threads have been closed because they became totally aggressive and no longer interesting or relevant. Are we all that divided on the new material, do we really really need to call each other names? Sure I might have stoked the flames with some absurdist commentary, but what about all that appealing hippie jargon Tweedy's been offering up: voices singing together..... there is a light.... come on yall. Were fans of the greatest band playing rock and roll right now, were lucky. The 9:30 show was stellar, the dvd is gonna be awesome.
  12. you know what would be a lot more fair: cage match. In the loft. Webcast from Wilcoworld.net. You can hit my paypal account for your bets, weve got 2:1 odds for Nels, only because he looks dodgey.
  13. Neil Young has sold so many bad lines, like I can't believe I am singing it, I think Tweedy might pull it off. People are just mean to Jay Bennett cause they dont like him, and his voice isnt as appealing, and he was caught on documentary at probably the most neurotic moment of his life. Poor guy, I'll give his record a listen, he's no slouch, he's no Nels Cline either, but neither are you, or me. Wheres your freakin album? huh? Oh yeah, and that guys not an asshole, I was the one talking about an album from two years ago. He was just explaining how Jay Bennett writes trite lyrics in
  14. How dare you condescend to me just cause I thought I didn't like it even though I never heard it. But seriously, (sorry too much monkeying around ) does it have the overcompressed vocal sound and trite lyrics that undermined his last effort, because I would guess it contains the literate and imaginative arrangements for a somewhat vast array of instruments his last effort did as well.
  15. I believe the end of the wonderfully spacious solo on "Hell is Chrome", but I may be wrong on that.
  16. yeah me too, check out the 9:30 webcast version. Its starting to get that tight interlocking feel between musicians, very intimate a la AGIB.
  17. Yeah thanks a bunch, that made for an enjoyable saturday morning.
  18. Good to know that music fandom, discussion, criticism etc. is not completely overrun by insecure folks who get really upset when you don't take their feelings into account. Really were all strangers/friends here, whose gonna get hurt. Jay Bennett solo sucks ass, the drone rules you just arent patient enough, AM is the most overrate pile of plastic on this board. (See that was about as in your face as I can be, it might not provoke an interesting discussion, but really if you disagree with any of my overstated opinions does it really hurt your feelings, is it disrespectful to play the dozens
  19. But wait, Its Just That Simple is one of the worst songs, and Pet Sounds is a great album, and I never thought it made me cool (beach boys is really pretty dorky). There is however a new Autumn Defense out soon, you can hear him sing a lot of soft rock without anyone else shaping his ideas (except perhaps for the ever versatile Sansone).
  20. Don't proliferate that shit. If were scared thats when the badguys won.
  21. thats allright wheelco you started with a somewhat cheesy publication but youll be workin under David Fricke before long.
  22. I have seen this thing go back and forth on this board for a year, and I can't help but get involved everytime. To be really impartial (as if thats possible, you may already know who I favor) stack up the Geraldine Fibbers, or the Nels Cline Singers against ANY Jay Bennett solo release. I will tell you what I think about that contest, but I want to hear your opinions first.
  23. Yeah, no one has to respect it. But there is a fairly legitimate way to decide the weight of criticism (one of the very few things I learned in college): 1. Does it make a clear statement about what it describes, and 2. does it site evidence to support its statement. Rolling Stone still has some great journalism in it, it unfortunately also has a rundown of the hottest new looks and all the gossip you might want on Courtney Love and Pamela Anderson. As far as I am trying.... I hope someone can reccomend another rock doc, with as much of an intimate view of the creative process. (Don't Loo
  24. Man I can't help but wonder if this thread has drummed up business for Crowther, or if Spiders (kidsmoke) has drummed up business for them. I even want to buy one, I dont want to be a trendy gear sheep, but they just sound so good. Damnit.
  25. Not to be rude, but an ovation is hardly an acoustic. They make that shit outta plastic. To each their own I suppose but I go for that aged wood, kinda martin or gibson sound. But hell Melissa Ethridge loves those plastic backed Ovations and she has had a lot more success then I.
