--> QUOTE(Paul B @ Nov 2 2006, 12:39 PM) I'm starting a Wilco cover band. We're gonna play tunes just from their most majestic, golden era.....2001-2003. In fact, we're gonna cover entire shows note for note from that era ala DSO. Now that I have the model worked out, I need a name for the band......Will and the Tweedy Birds.....nah, too hokey..........c'mon brain, start thinking............Ocliw? Nah, damn dyslexia acting up again...... Cool, you really starting a cover band? Where are you located? There are 3 Wilco cover bands in Chicago that I know of: The Late Greats, Sleepy Kisse

hmmm, well, I'd say you're pretty luck if you've had the opportunity to see wilco enough times to get bored with their shows. I'm looking foward to my FIRST EVER Wilco show in Chicago this November. Crazy huh? Anyway, they could play just about anything and I'll be thrilled. I'm a long-time fan, but I'm a broke non-profit employee, so I've been waiting for a home town show at a good venue. (Just couldn't shell out the cash for Lalapoloza, since I wasn't sure about the setting. I want to be sure I'll be able to see the band and hear the music.) That said, I've seen Jeff solo twice, o

This one makes me crazy silly: www.homestarrunner.com/fhqwhgads.html

Yeah, it should be a good time! It's BYOB so feel free to bring some refreshments. No cover, although there's a chance that we'll take up a small donation for the sound tech.

I Must Be High.

He kind of looks like bob, the guy who teaches the wilco class at the old town school.

Yeah, me too. So . . . tired . . . It was fun to have a crowd from the Old Town School's Wilco ensemble there. Way to celebrate JHC's birthday in style.

wanna help me out then later?

Anyone know the piano part to the album version? Some pointers would be sweet!

Far, Far Away alternates between 4/4 and 3/4. Also, what the heck is going on with the rhythm from Hey Chicken (Loose Fur)? It seems to change or break down in a couple of spots--or maybe I just get confused at the changes.

yeah, i'd agree. Kind of like AD= mellow, quality couch rock. Cool stuff, but you have to be in the mood for something a bit mellow. HWB = Pretty rockin'. Definitely a good live act.

fyi, the late greats are made up of students from the old town school of folk music in Chicago. the only professional musician in those recordings is the drummer, and he's actually a guitar player just filling in on drums. this is a group that spends the week working as teachers, government workers, lawyers, engineers, writers, grad students and stuff like that. for some, this was their first time ever singing in front of an audience. it's really all about having fun, playing music we enjoy. and hey, if you can't go see wilco live, you can see the late greats for free. we don't

yeah, i thought it was interesting to read about how the band evolved, but i think you always have to take these things with a grain of salt. writers of nonfiction tend to walk that line between just presenting the facts and telling a compelling story. a compelling story usually needs a hero and a bad guy. a friend of mine had jeff sign his copy of the book. jeff signed it, "these are all lies." then he signed someone's poster with his name and just "bonanza!" so, who knows . . . .

how about california stars, and i'm the man who loves you.
