lost highway

Sorry, I'm a recording engineer, which makes me hear things in funny ways. So.... it's not something about song writing, or lyrics. It's literally the way microphones, eq's etc. were used in their space. It sounds like it was recorded with a mic one inch away from everything in a room with really thick carpet everywhere. There is not a lot of breath, it doesn't sound 'open'. If you listen to it and W(TA) right in a row you can hear how different the approach was.

This.

I'll take the front half of W(TA) over the back half of SBS any day. While I loved the production on SBS and still do, it's a little wooly and claustrophobic, it makes W(TA) sound really open and clear. I'd say, of course, that the sound of TWL splits the difference between warm/intimate and open/smooth- that and I think the song quality control is higher through the entire new album.

On a non-military note. How do the Romney fans feel about the fact that middle class tax, and small business taxes are lower under Obama than Bush?

What I mean is we've spent a massive amount of money on that tool, and it hasn't brought us or the world any prosperity (unless you own stock in the arms industry, read: the tail that wags the dog). We sit in the richest country with an embarrassing health care crisis, a public school system that is still in need of innovation, and the untapped potential to lead the world in efficient high-speed mass transit, and clean energy. But, people are getting excited (or more commonly, grumblingly obliging) to vote for a guy who wants to make sure the world knows we once again have indisputably the

Write a blog on it and boom! You too are industry. Edit: Oh! Here it be:

What could possibly wrong with the already formidable size of our military? Why would we want to invest more in a complex that has brought us and our unfortunate targets nothing but ruin in the past six decades? Korea, Vietnam, Irag, Afghanistan, count 'em up man. One shit show after another.

I love that example, Doug, because your illegal download is considered stealing and your Amazon purchase is considered legitimately buying used. Neither of them gave Conor Oberst any money. One thing I was thinking about this is the various classes of artists. Now, this is not an ethical argument. More a practical look at various burdens (or lack thereofs). Upper Class Artist Their albums usually go gold. They sell a lot of them, and a ton of singles on Itunes. When they come to your town they play the Comfort Dental Amphitheater or the Geico Insurance Baseball Stadium. Their conce

Romney has already vowed to "Restore our national defense", apparently we haven't put enough cash, blood, or bullets in that category lately. How can we weather another several years of decreased revenue from taxes and increased spending on weapons and foreign quagmires?

Can we get an update for your reasons why? (You token Republicans are the reason this is actually a dialog).

I just watched the Rockies beat the Nationals. That Strassburg is no joke, but he couldn't make up for Nationals' mistakes, and Rockies' determination.

Looking for Romney to do something Clinton-esque. I think the problem with that hope is that he is in deep, like up to his neck with the mega-corporations. A lot of the new regulation is to keep tycoons from casting bets with your mortgage and then needing us to bail them out. Also, I believe the taxes were on the average higher in that period then they are now.

Thanks for biting (looking at your dog picture). Can you think of a succinct explanation for why you will vote for Romney?

Can I clarify something with two questions (for any who care to answer): 1. Are you passionate about Mitt Romney? 2. Do you think you will vote for him?

Great night, let's see what I can add here.... First time seeing Dr. Dog with their newer drummer, sounded fantastic in spite of a mediocre sound mix. I thought their auxillary percussionist seemed extraneous. Unusually good energy and crowd response for an opener. I wasn't the only one singing along. Wilco was in top form. ALTWYS gave me butterflies. I know some people aren't wild about it but Capitol City brought a grin to my face, I didn't notice the bell sample had malfunctioned 'til Tweedy said so. I wonder what the Twitter war he had in mind was when he was bantering on the intro to

Anybody know what time they open the doors tonight? The tickets just say 8:00, but knowing Red Rocks I'm assuming that's when Dr. Dog goes on.

It's weird that he talks in the interview over an over about how the Smashing Pumpkins needed to die, and he needed to stop trying to play with Jimmy. Why didn't he just give this band a new name then? The other weird thing is this album is called Oceania, while this larger than life stoner rock band called Isis had an album called Oceanic, Oceania has a song called "Panopticon", and Isis had an album called Panopticon. I wonder......

Exactly, and the use of Executive Privilege by Obama is no more shocking than a bureaucratic blockade by the Senate. At some point legislation went from checks and balances to blocks and tricks.

How is use of executive privilege in this case unconstitutional?

I love all the King Crimson stuff in this thread, but I'm shocked no one said In the Court of the Crimson King. That is my favorite prog album, hands down.

Does anyone know which section the early Wilco website presale tickets were? I know my buddy used it to get us GA tickets, but Red Rocks always has really convoluted seating sections. And I am also stoked, psyched, pumped, chuffed etc.

Wouldn't your belief that it would be pandering confirm how massive the demographic is? Therefore, shouldn't something be done? Also, Obama's executive order would not grant citizenship, just a new kind of work permit/ Visa. This country wouldn't be what it is today without cheap immigrant labor. We might as well show some folks respect, I say.

In fairness, you opened your heart and he called you uncharacteristically not flippant. Oh, hey look, Obama is trying to help out some illegal immigrants. Republicans are pissed about it. Hmmmm....
