She's a sucker for a good melody and harmonies. Plus she loves the line "This is the worst trip I've ever been on." And it's about a boat. Lots for a kid to like.

I must be in the minority who love Sloop John B. For a brief time this spring it was the only song my 5 year old daughter wanted to listen to.

Wow, no "Don't Dream It's Over"? That's on the 1st record. That could be construed as self-indulgent. How many people's emotional attachment to that band begins with that song? Not playing it is satisfying themselves more than the audience.

They were on Jimmy Fallon this week. Liked the song the played a lot.

Very sad. I often disagreed with him but he was full of class and intellect. A thoughtful, reasonable voice in a sea of loudness and insanity that clutters up our media.

Watching it right now. I think Sasha and Melia (sp?) are thinking, "Why can't he be a Jonas brother?"

Curb Your Enthusiasm - SSN 7, the Seinfeld reunion. Larry David continues to be brilliantly misanthropic. It's amazing all those actors are will into play those twisted versions of themselves.

Looks like we only get Sandberg for one season here in Iowa.

Vibes Crow! I've had a few friends with cancer scares recently, everyone's in remission right now, but we must try to treasure each and every day.

Warehouse is a Husker Du album. Do you mean Workbook? I think the sound of that CD is great. Never heard it on vinyl, so maybe I'm missing something. Workbook is my absolute #1 album, so I wouldn't mind hearing an attempt at remastering, just don't think it's needed.

The momentum that this movement has picked up in the last few years has amazed me. My state's (IA) supreme court authorized it about a year ago. While there are many loud protests from the far right, I think most people have either supported it or been ambivalent. A moderate candidate won the Republican primary against a right winger who threatened to challenge the court through executive order. I used to think this was a movement that was going to require patience, but now I think it's coming sooner rather than later.

Pat Robertson will blame the Godless Obama administration, no doubt.

Back right, and I'm a lefty.

They probably can't fix all the drum sounds on Husker Du stuff. But re-mastering and re-mixing could "hide" that sound a bit more. Never heard the vinyl Husker stuff, but had a cassette (official release, not copy) of Warehouse. It sounded much better than the CD.

I understand where you're coming from. I mostly like the last 2 albums. I'm not sure, however, the lineup is the problem for those who disliked them. I think it comes down to Tweedy's songwriting. In one of the interviews posted recently, Nels basically said W(TA) is a Tweedy album. Some of my favorite artists have really changed their songwriting (for the worse) when their lives become more stable and happy. Tweedy and Bob Mould are prime examples. Tweedy's songwriting has maintained much more than Mould's.

Anyone else get nervous when any members of Wilco start talking abut the state of the current lineup and how well it's lasted and how well the get along? It's like someone telling the pitcher they're working on a no hitter.

Husker Du's entire catalog

Congrats, Sunken Mountain! I will soon go into Soccer withdrawal. NFL training camp will cure me.

I'm with my in-laws now watching Jimmy Buffett on CMT. Could be worse. The in-laws are divorced. Definitely favor dad & stepmom over mom and stepdad, but all is well. Dad in law always has lots of good booze on hand.

Dull and IMO, more poor officiating. Lots of dives by Spain. No excuse for Netherlands. I only saw 2nd half and extra time, the ball hardly made it near Spain's goal. Spain deserved to win.

Guilty pleasure. Love that song.

So the Yankees are getting Cliff Lee...

Wow. I've had nightmares like that. Glad everyone was okay and that the cats made their way home. Good luck with everything on the road ahead.

That HR was 1 of his 9 career RBIs. That's gotta be low compared to other pitchers in the NL. Congrats to Johan. Love watching former Twins still doing well. edit: 1st career HR, BTW
