I'm not sure if I'm sold on Mac either. Eh, to each his own I guess.

I wish they had let the Danny Pink plot line play out a bit longer. I didnt see much chemistry between him & Clara but the tension between him and the Doctor was a great shot in the arm for the series.

Thanks to WilcoMe getting a ticket, I'll be seeing her at the end of the month!

Ooh, is it good? How's the sound quality?Tweedy-sukirae on yellow vinyl The Beatles-the white album mono version

I've been reading the Garcia bio by Blair Jackson. Not much so far that I didn't already know from Phil's book or the Dennis McNally book. I saw that Melvin Seals and the JGB are coming through in March. Has anyone ever seen them? Are they worth checking out?

I do like the Lonely Ones. It has that touch of Irony that all Wilco fans can appreciate Lol!Hummingbirds

I would imagine TWEEDY would be playing a set.

I listened to the latest album today and found it to be quite good. It was hypnotic in its sound; I could see how listening to this album would work well at night.

I saw DSO last year on my birthday. I knew they weren't the Dead, nor did I expect them to be. In fact, I didn't have any expectations at all. I came away from the evening having done a little dancing and had a great time. I know it's hard to judge a band from audience recordings or fan made videos on youtube, but I was not intrigued enough to see Furthur. I don't know, it seemed like they are missing something that I can't quite put my finger on.

Freaks and Geeks. It started off kinda slow, but it has been getting better as the season has gone along. The writing has picked up. It's too bad it was canceled after one season.

Wilco actually have a six degrees of kevin bacon connection to Pavement (more like one degree). In the summer of 2002, one of the bands that opened for Wilco was Preston School of Industry. PSOI was Scott Kannberg's (Spiral Stairs) band following the ending of Pavement. They played a Pavement song during their set, although I can't remember which one. That was one of the most fun opening acts I've seen in seeing Wilco. usually I'm like, meh, but they worth watching. I actually saw them at the Ram's Head the following winter. PSOI only put out two albums, but they're worth checking out.

I've been listening to the second night of Solid Sound the last couple of days in the car. I remember there was filming going on during the weekend. I wonder if we'll see a final product sometime before the end of this year. Even though it won't be the same thing as reliving the festival, it'll be as close as we can come. It would be awesome to see a 2 disc set, one disc being a film of the festival and another disc being of the two wilco shows.

I had to post about Dick's Picks 15: Englishtown, NJ 9/3/77. I've had my mind blown this afternoon, and I haven't even finished listening to the show. I'm certainly no expert when it comes to listening Dead shows, but at this point I've listened to a lot of shows. I've read books on the Dead and am aware of Lavata's passion (understated I know) for getting people to listen to Dead shows. It's the joy of hearing a moment or moments that you weren't expecting. I'm also aware of the idea that the Dead played as one unit. It's hard to necessarily judge from tapes alone about chemistry betwee

Fillmore West May 10, 1997. "If you were invited to a potluck dinner, what would you bring? Ketchup" It was during this show's performance they launched into 'Dueling Banjos' in the middle of 'Casino Queen'.

Wasn't one of Son Volt's recent albums called American Dust? Hmmm

How about Feed of Chicken? Shake It Chicken Chicken & I

Did anyone else manage to make it to their local indie record shop? I was hoping to pick up the Dylan Sidetracks collection on vinyl andI the Dead live show. Neither of those were available, but the guys at the shop took my name and number and said they would get in touch if they get anymore in stock. Still I mainaged to pick up some other nifty titles: Rolling Stones 'Got Live If You Want It' EP Blind Boys of Alabama/Jason Isbell & Paul White split single limited numbered single of Uncle Tupelo's 'I Wanna Be Your Dog/Commotion' single Vince Guaraladi 'Linus & Lucy' single on go

A new group I saw this week from Vermont called Alpenglow has just put out an ep called Solitude. It has autumn written all over it. HEM's Eveningland in its entirety is a great fall album as well.

The picture looks great, and the sound mix is great.

Thanks for sharing that article. That Big Star documentary is joyful and sad. The soundtrack I would highly recommend.

I was excited to see this announced. I've been off and on over the years about Pearl Jam, but I think I'm finally ready to see them again. Last time was New Orleans during the Binaural tour. They're playing Charlottesville, so there's no excuse to miss (that's if I can snag a ticket before they sell out in 5 seconds).

the private show in Winnetka, one of the fans asks Tweedy to play a new Wilco song. He refuses. “They are all placeholder lyrics,” he tells the crowd, “like ‘Satan riding horses in the fog.’ ” Everyone laughs. But another fan presses him further, saying he read an interview on an Australian music site in which Tweedy said the next album may be “more fucked-up sounding than the last few.” “I said that? You know, people ask you questions all the time that you can’t answer. Like, ‘What’s the next record going to sound like?’ If I could say what the next record is going to sound like, there would

When your songs aren't considered good enough to be mimed by Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem, it may not be good to put said songs on an album (Circuital). I get that their live act is pretty good, I'm still not entirely convinced.

As far as the commercial albums go, I really love Skull & Roses-Bertha, Big Railroad Blues, Smokestack Lightnin'.
