awatt

I forgot, is Wilco excluded from this thread?

If so, not listening to anything.

If not, acoustic Spiders, again.

No, I'm dishing out ice cream. Same basic concept though, I guess.

Very cool. I think I'll head out tonight for some Bruster's double chocolate chunk, my favorite (and everyone's apparently, lately they've been out of it every visit! )

Ok, back to Google Ass.....

Great to hear about the interview and read the paper. But I wonder if that's all there is (always less than you think). I love to know what the artist was thinking but don't always only rely on it when thinking about the artistic product. What strikes me is that the song is a rather brutal swipe at theologians (some of my best friends are theologians) who claim to be experts about God but know nothing about souls, etc., are a threat to life rather than a help, and claim special knowledge about death and the afterlife. Also, the entire cd seems to be fairly preoccupied with death (not just lyrically--when I hear Less Than You Think I want to kill myself or someone else! ), with the title, also from that song, an eerie but pleasing phrase bringing death and life, mortality and fertilty, together in an evocative but celebratory rather than overly mournful way. All of this and more, including the vocals, makes that wonderful line, I am a cherry ghost, chillicious (I've heard of chillax, but not sure I've heard this one--gives me the chills, and is delicious) and mysterious.

It's almost drinking time so excuse the overly long ramblings. Been thinking about this song all day.

1 am? You tending bar?

Kicking Television. Can I say that on this forum?

People who don't use turn signals while driving drive me fucking mad!!

And I'm usually a very mellow guy.

In AGIB lyric book in cd, the last verse has "I am a notion, I am all emotion", while most other lyric sites have it as "I'm an ocean, I am all emotion." What is the correct lyric, or does it really matter?

And what is a cherry ghost? One of the most delectable lines I've ever heard.

ps--I have a feeling that every possible Wilco question has already been asked here, so my apologies to all the old-timers who get annoyed with same old queries. I'm too lazy to search through VC and investigate before asking.

I keep saying it and saying it: it's one album. I refuse to vote.

I've deliberated for a long time on this question and agree with the Maker. It's one album, so no reason to vote. The real question is which Outta Mind/ Outtasite version is better? No question, Disc One, rockin version, rules!!

Can't we all get along?

And is this thread suggesting that Jeff has something of the prophet in him?

yeah, you don't have to spell it out for us

Whoa, whoa, whoa, was thinking more along the lines of

going to church to

then getting in a fish fight

taking a break for

and finally getting ready for

But the night is young, and your dirty mind is giving me some ideas....

Slightly hungover but got four tires this morning, stopped by the bank, returned a flick, then went for a short bike ride with the boys before the youngest one almost fainted from heat exhaustion. We're talking about heading off to see Cars later this afternoon (too many bad reviews of Monster House). Then, this evening there will

be some of this

a little of that

lots of

then we'll

...No need to continue with the smilies to chart out the evening with this imaginative crowd, I'm sure (though I've got to say, I love communicating here with the smilies).

I was thinking the very same thought as the title of this thread earlier and am glad others around here feel the same way! I was literally dancing in my office to the strains of I Must Be High earlier today because I finished writing the 8th of 9 chapters for a new book, so am quite celebratory. Scotch, wine, chinese food, and maybe even some Entemann's chocolate chip cookies later. Yummmmm. Even though a major storm is about to hit, I'm smiling. And now, listening to live Spiders over and over and over.

For a brief moment, I'm quite happy.

Finally getting into Deadwood (now on Disc 3). Getting better...

I wouldn't survive in that town--would go right for the laudanum (sp?).

Blue Earth.

Please tell me other, similar sounding discs to listen to. I freaking love this!!

I've struggled with this dilemma myself and go back and forth. Disc one is an instant classic on first listening, but two grows on me and may be slightly more profound: Why Would You Want to Live, and Dreamer in My Dreams are fan-fucking-tastic.

So, it's a draw for me.

Just curious.

When I first heard Hoodo Voodoo I couldn't stand it, then after Jeff played it solo in Denver at wonderful Gothic Theater, can't get enough of it, and usually singing very loudly while driving in the car. The other tune that didn't hit me right away but now love to death: I'm a Wheel. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9....

Damn, I wish I could be there too. Can't wait to hear the reports on this one.

Ah. Love it.

"Wilco is for all who have the ears to appreciate."

Amen to that, brother! Why in quotes?

I just realized how much I miss the old Roadcase of the solo show, and this fantastic cover. Then I went to new Roadcase from Duluth show and realize how much I love Walken. So much great music to choose from...

I actually think every song is just right! Makes it easy to listen to over and over and over again.

Definitely troubled times, with death, destruction, wars, environmental breakdown....

Thank God for music!

Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed

He might pass by in the hour of need

There's a lot of souls

Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory

Hey - look there goes

Hey - look there goes

If you're after getting the honey - hey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

Lord, there goes Martin Luther King

Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring

I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying

*Is what was true now no longer so

Hey - I hear what you're saying

Hey - I hear what he's saying

If you're after getting the honey - hey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

What the people are saying

And we know every road - go, go

What the people are saying

There ain't no berries on the trees

Let the summertime sun

Fall on the apple - fall on the apple

Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine

Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line

We think there is a soul, we don't know

That soul is hard to find

Hey - down along the road

Hey - down along the road

If you're after getting the honey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

Hey - it's what the people are saying

It's what the people are saying

Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees

Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees

You're checking out the honey, baby

You had to go killin' all the bees

Fables

Murmur

Chronic Town (not really an album, but...)

If Chronic Town doesn't count, I'd substitute Life's Rich Pageant.

Kinda remember REM but it's been a long, long time...

Walken is my choice even though it wasn't a choice.

My condolances as well. Very sorry to hear this sad news.
