  1. i remember jeff saying something at the abbey show a couple years back about releasing the kicking tv footage at wilco retrospective time years down the line after a couple guys called him on it midset... i will say as someone who paid more than theyd like to admit and waited for hours longer than theyd like to admit to get into those shows and the front row one night, I am dissapointed after being sold on being part of a TAPING FOR A LIVE DVD! - that being said it is the absolute only issue i've ever remotely encountered with this band, and i barely care.

  2. Got this yesterday.

     

    "Wilco are playing their last show of 2007 tonight in Dublin. Thanks to all of you who came out and supported the band with such enthusiasm this year. We enjoyed almost every second of it."

     

    Looks like no Thanksgiving Auditorium Shows this year.

     

    Its safe to say this was already assumed but still not good news.

  3. Ive never liked them and refuse to becuase of this little shit they do like the random messages online, railing against the music industry by giving their album away, its all controlled chaos, i think if you took out all the radiohead is so different label people wouldnt really be so into them based on the music alone, its really nothing remarkable - its not being edgy, its trying nearly openly to be edgy... and thats not edgy yet, like 20 years... and in the end radiohead is a band thats only ahead of itself in terms of its faux edginess - but thats the last reason id ever buy a record

    It gets light at the end and could be interchangable throughout the middle, the top 5 are pretty solid though

  5. My dad called me from the road yesterday, he was listening to XM's station the Loft. Apparently the DJ said something about Jeff or the band playing with either Mark Olson or some other incarnation of the Jayhawks. Although the details were sketchy about the actual collaboration and where this took place, he says 100% the DJ referring to something that happened in the last week or so and that they played California Stars (which seems plausible)

     

    Does anyone know what he's talking about??? I'd love to track down a recording of that song.

  6. i differentiated between dire straits and knopfler... I know its a strange one to be picky about. Sorry for skimming that line

     

    also yes, O Valencia by the decemberists, always makes me picture romeo and juliet

  7. hypem.com, for those of you who dont know is a great music tool... It searches the blogs for tracks.

    Anyways they redesigned it and its not premiering until 10,000 people have their web browsers opened to it at once.

     

     

     

     

     

    This is f*&king stupid.

    Who else agrees?

  8. Last year I wore a skin tight black spiderman outfit...unfortunately pretty revealing

     

    im thinking of ideas for this year... i was leaning towards a white stripes couples one but i want to do better.

     

    Anyone have any great ideas or costumes theyve seen and liked?

  9. Double helix. I will be fascinated. Should be complete just before the Olympics hit town.

     

    that was one of the (many) issues with that olympics logo that got disqualified, it had the sears tower, by the time the olympics roll around the sears tower might not be in the top 3 tallest buildings here.

     

    Last i heard we werent looking too good on the olympics, i want to cite looptopia failures and cta issues.. although i heard rumblings admist all the cta problems a plan to make it free by raising property taxes as a way of luring the olympics.

  10. i could care less who the fuck it is. More importantly is pitchforks sentiment of get on with your lives.

    WHO THE FUCK CARES?

    clearly the people talking about it, as someone missing out on what would have been an amazing show -possibly because of this. As someone interested in music who follows bands, who follows THIS band.. I care, I question pitchfork only because they simply said it wasnt her but didnt explain how they really got to that conclusion or offer and explanation.

     

    but i guess who the fuck cares answers my question... they should have a forum dedicated to people who just say who the fuck cares back and forth
