    Wilco Sporcle Quix

    That site is REEEEEEALLY addictive!

     

    Most definitely. I try to check it every day, and about every week or so (sometimes more) I randomly challenge myself into taking the original 151 Pokémon quiz. I usually plateau at about 140-145. :hmm (Today I flatlined at 138)

     

    It took me like 20 seconds at the most for the Wilco one, though.

    I feel like the outro is a bit confusing. Here's my take:

     

    D*-------F*-------G*--------------------D*

    ----------------Every moments a little bit later

     

    D*-------F*-------G*--------------------??(Weird G chord?)

    ----------------Every moments a little bit later

     

    E--------G---------------N.C.

    ------Every moments a little bit later

     

    Comments? I'd like to figure out what that weird chord is in the second line, but I can't. There's a really good shot of him playing it in the extra features of the IATTBYH DVD.

     

     

    It's:

     

    D   F#   G                D  
        Every moment's a little bit later
D   F#   G                D
        Every moment's a little bit later
E        G                A
        Every moment's a little bit later

     

    At least that's how I would play it.

    I'm all for animal rights - I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years, even a vegan for part of that - but I cannot believe this whale has now been involved on some level in three human deaths and is still alive. WTF? I'm sorry, but if that were a dog, it would have been euthanized by now.

    If they don't want to put it down, they should release the m-f'er at sea and let it fend for itself.

     

    1. Dogs are domesticated. If a dog is trained to kill, then there's major problems, and yes, they usually have to be put down. Whales, especially orcas, can't really be domesticated.

     

    2. Also, think about their play. Dog's play can't really inflict harm on a human being, because their size (and so the damage they can inflict). A whale's play is in a much larger "realm of size," (if the term makes any sense). A whale playing can definitely inflict boatloads of harm based on their size.

    What bands or artist do you like more than Wilco?

    in Just A Fan

    I would say none, but that's because the question is framed as "what bands or artist do you like more than Wilco." Wilco will always be my favorite band ever, being my first love when it comes to music. But I quite obviously acknowledge the presence of "better" artists out there, and so given a composite measure of "how good I think they are" and "how much I love them" you'd probably get this:

     

    1. The Beatles

    2. Bob Dylan

    3. The Band

    4. Wilco

    5. Pavement

    good albums that are way too long

    in Someone Else's Song

    I can seriously think of no double albums (or 70 minute cd's) that wouldn't be improved by removing a couple of songs. For me an album should be about 45 minutes long, or two sides of a piece of vinyl (That is why Neil Young's Tonights the Night is such a perfect record -It is exactly 45 minutes long. No more, no less!).

     

    I can think of a few. The three I listed are shoe-ins. Also stuff like Bitches Brew, Physical Graffiti, Blonde on Blonde. The charm in a double-LP is its messiness. It's not going to be concise. That's not the point. It's like a King-sized value meal. You just eat it all up because it's tasty (and surely a good double-LP is easier to take in than a Large Big Mac Value Meal). One bite may not be as good as the rest, but every bite is undeniably important in the consumption of the burger/LP and contributes to the whole tasty experience.

    Hah, no. It's clear that if the album is X songs long, there is a reason why it is that many songs long. So yes, when I go through the Beatles, Exile on Main St., London Calling, and the ilk, I damn well go through the whole thing. While cutting tracks is an entertaining exercise, I just feel weird about doing it.

    what is the saddest song you know?

    in Someone Else's Song

    Pavement - Here

     

    is my new really sad song. This song can make me tear up, and I'm a dude. Where on the studio version (not the Luxe & Reduxe version that is the basis of every Youtube of this song) when the heavily distorted kicks in after the last chorus, it's pretty damn cathartic. Just really poignant, though, uh, hell if I know what any of it means, except for the first line:

     

    "I was dressed for success

    but success it never comes"

    Going to Prague, Vienna and Budapest!

    Also, the cost is pretty intimidating, but that holds true anytime I'm looking at airfares. :hmm

     

    While there won't be a way around the redonkulously expensive ticket TO Europe, if you book from European country to European country via one of the many cheap airlines like EasyJet or RyanAir, you will definitely save some money. Just watch out for fees, RyanAir especially, as they like to charge you a WHOLE lot for random stuff. I managed to get away with £40 with return to Dublin, which I consider pretty damn stellar.
