Wow!

drum loop? eta: Or possibly they took a sample of the guitar/bass fuzz from T.V. Eye and then used it as an effect on the guitar/bass tone here. Other than those, I don't hear it. Interesting.

I'm pretty sure that it's always been fairly prominent. Maybe even how I discovered the place.

^ Why we love sports!

Too soon for what? That poor girl died 3 years ago and my comment in no way made light of her tragic and horrific death. It was intended to poke fun at "slacktivists" who somehow believe that leaving their patio (or porch) lights on is a meaningful expression of solidarity or support for a girl who was "denied justice". My guess is that many of the people who left their lights on for Caylee are the same ones who annually leave off their lights for an hour to somehow stop global warming.

Hate the Yankees, used to like Jeter, not so much the last few years. Having said that, the moment was pretty damned awesome.

Reading some of these posts reminds me how important the Mermaid Avenue discs were in solidifying my feelings about this band, esp. Mermaid Avenue 2. For a while, I was lukewarm on ST. Then I heard Airline to Heaven, Secret of the Sea, and Remember the Mountain Bed. Wow.

1. After reading reviews of AM and Trace (did they have co-reviews in Rolling Stone?) I bought them both. I thought it was kinda like Bob & Grant after the breakup of Husker Du. Nothing nearly that angry on the CDs. I liked 'em both and seem to be in the minority who liked AM better (though Drown was the best song on either CD). 2. Saw them at Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, IA 9/17/2003. One of only three shows I've seen, but glad to say one of them was the 2008 Winter Residency night #2.

Not the "I'm showing support for Caylee Anthony" thread I was expecting.

Steely Dan you're right about, but Little Feat has too small of a nationwide appeal to approach this list. Maybe top 100, but not top 50.

According to his Wikipedia page, he's a huge fan of nearly all Chicago sports. But it doesn't say anything about his current residence.

I went to a soccer game in Des Moines tonight. It was a Professional Development League (mostly college players) against a team from Winnipeg. The PA system didn't come on until halfway through O Canada. Not very cool for Canada Day.

Here ya go

Wilco cloth diapers.

I like the song just fine. Like, don't love. But God forbid someone post a contrary opinion. I know we have someone here called Wilco Worshiper, but I think the point of this board is to discuss Wilco, not fall all over ourselves in constant praise.

After 1 listen I think I like it. Not sure I love it, but I listened to the stream on my laptop speakers. Almost sounds like a Loose Fur track.

He had some great moments with Vince Vaughn in Made.

Matt Pinfield's interviews on 120 Minutes always reminded me Chris Farley's interview of Paul McCartney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNBIyGxV7Ek

I can't wait to read that too. FYI, Bob is on Jimmy Fallon tonight.

Which is exactly my point. There just is no Wilco / E Street Band comparison, at least in terms of the Clarence/Bruce vibe. I'm sure there's probably one in rock, but I can't think of it.

Herein lies the problem. Jay was kicked out. Jeff stopped liking working with him. Bruce takes breaks from the E Street Band, but did one ever feel he didn't like Clarence personally or professionally?? Jeff (understandably, since he'd just been sued by the guy) had trouble saying nice things about Jay even after he died.

Damned faulty memory.

A fair point, I guess I feel like you don't need the 2 CDs to delineate the separate sounds, but I usually listen to the whole thing. IIRC (and I'm not sure I do), the retail price of BT was more than most single CDs but less than most double CDs. Since it could've fit on one disc, that aspect bothered me, and having 2 CDs to keep track of rather than one.
