Narz, Thanks for starting this board and for making it a safe, yet thoroughly enjoyable, place to visit. You apparently had good judgement for putting such awesome moderators in place to help keep this place from becoming a mess. Best of luck with all of your future endeavors. Jimbo

Hi Kelly!

I'm so looking forward to that Neko DVD. It's too bad they're not releasing the cd as well. When I looked at the tracklisting, I saw 'Maybe Sparrow'. I didn't realize it was that old of a song. btw-Jimmy, I love your avatar.

Loaded (fully loaded edition) was my first real foray into the Velvet Underground so it holds a special place in my heart. Does have some awesome songs (Who Loves The Sun, Sweet Jane, Oh Sweet Nuthin', New Age). However, I have read that Mo Tucker wasn't involved with Loaded because she was pregnant. Lou couldn't wait? Were contract deadlines that much tighter back then? I can't imagine the band's label being demanding about them putting out another record too soon. The Velvet Underground were a fantastic band but didn't sell a large amount of records. So what was the hurry? but offici

I was sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Longitudes & Attitudes by Thomas Friedman A friend from work was talking about this book awhile back and I was curious about it.

Yes, he did say that. Pat also played maracas during the song. A sign of things to come. I just finished listening to the first night today on the way to work. That weekend was definitely the highlight of my life. I had practically no money at the time, but I wouldn't have missed that weekend for the world. I do remember being amazed at the second night's encore, almost like two sets. I remember how excited I was when they played 'What's The World Got In Store'. I know I remember posting that in a fantasy setlist here a few days/weeks before the show. My favorite performances fr

I've never been able to give up the Zep, no matter how hard I might try. I started with them way back in eighth grade, starting with Led Zeppelin II. By far, my favorite song from each album: I-Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You II-The Lemon Song III-That's The Way IV-When The Levee Breaks Houses of The Holy-Over The Hills & Far Away Physical Grafitti-Black Country Woman (nah, leave it, yeah) Presence-Tea For One (if this doesn't prove Jimmy Page was a guitar god, I don't know what else will) In Through The Out Door-Fool In The Rain Coda-Poor Tom

It's actually Ryan's version where I first Gillian and fell in love with her sound. I eventually got all of her albums. Now what I would like to find is Gillian and David's version of Radiohead's 'Blackstar'. I heard this coming back from vacation this past summer. It gave me goosebumps.

Being There is a fantastic album. There's all kinds of styles of music on there and enough change in tempo that it never drags or overwhelms me. Plus, it's got 'The Lonely 1' and 'Far Far Away'. It's great for late night listening. In fact, I feel inspired to put it on tonight. What a great post. Btw-I sent a copy of this album, gushing about it, to a friend long long ago. although she didn't get into it right away, she eventually started the Wilco Timeline.

Oh, the version of Handshake Drugs from that same show is interesting as well. Somewhat different from even earlier versions.

I'm working on a project (have been for the last two years) that covers their demos and live songs from 1994-2004. i'm in the final two years right now. may i suggest At Least That's What You Said from Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, CT 6/24/03?

For as long as I can remember, I've been an insomniac. Even when I'm at my most exhausted state, 2am comes around and I'm still staring at the world around me. It's frustrating, tiring, exhausting. But then the morning comes. What will the morning bring? Somedays end up better than others. That's what I hope for at least, when I cannot get decent sleep. Of course, I know there's others out there like me who struggle to rest, relax, let the day go and find hope for the next day. That's what this mix tape feels like to me, finding those moments of peace of mind and of rest. There's mor

ooh, i know where i'll be on the 5th of October. I saw them with Neko back in '05. While I wasn't overly impressed with them i did like their sound (i was also impatient for Neko)

I love Picture In A Frame from Mule Variations

I started a blog over at blogger.com and put up selected pics from the show sunday. Hummingbird

here's some additional thoughts: 1)French Toast: what a cool band. They played a fantastic set. Reminded me somewhat of Mission of Burma. I picked up the single last night. 2)Sorry to have missed you and your guy Sandi. Hope you guys had a great time!

OMG! First off, let me say hi to Jimmy! It was great seeing you again and getting to talk to you. In the last 4 years, I've seen some excellent shows (Auditorium, second night; Poughkeepsie, Bogart's). I don't think any of them could match last night's show. I truly believe the crowd had a lot to do with it. I've been to numerous shows in Charlottesville over the years and have dealt with the scenesters who decide a show is the best place to catch up and chat through the entire show. There was little of that last night. Just singing along for pretty much the entire show. I don't thi

I would agree with that. Either Way is a very pretty song, very nice. Walken is by far better than the fall versions. Alternating guitar solos on Hoodoo. The best crowd interaction ever. Oh yeah, Wilco will be coming back to C'ville. Nels screaming back at the crowd. That's the Cliff Notes version for now. I'll give a full review and pictures tomorrow night. Talk about a fantastic weekend.

Guided By Voices A Brief History Although the book is so far interesting and sheds some light for me on the Monument Club (I'm still a relative newbie to the GBV scene) and other aspects of early GBV, I'm fininding it difficult to read. For someone who used to be an editor at SPIN, Jim Greer is somewhat of a sloppy writer. I realize this is all in fun for how he set how to write it, but the Economist is an easier read. Still, i'll stick with it. I'm curious to see how it ends.

I was fooling around on my bass earlier tonight and happened to pick out the first bar for Ashes of American Flags, at least how it was done on the demo. Which is exactly how I prefer hearing it. I know the song alternates in octaves around these frets but I can't figure out the entire song. Can someone help me out? First bar (?) 12th fret, second string; 12th fret third string; 9th fret third string; 9th fret first string (open) Second Bar (?) 12th fret first string (open), 9th fret first string....and that's as far as I got. That's all without listening, just what I could remember fr
