I know Red Red Meat (I think they only reunited for these two shows because all have different projects now) is playing in Chicago at the Empty Bottle on July 11 if you can't fly out to WA.

Yeah, me too. The show blew my mind!

Just got back from the show, and it was fantastic! I first found out about Nels via Wilco (as I'm sure many of us have), and have been gathering all his thousands of different projects he is in or has been in. I have wanted to see some of his own projects for a while now (from his tour with Glenn Kotche or a gig in Chicago last year with The Scott Amendola band) but I have always been stop by the 21+ venues in Chicago. So I went to Madison tonight to see the show since it was 18+, and it was seriously one of the best shows I've seen in a while. , From my memory, they played (not the exact orde

FUZZ FACTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I tried it out in the store, it freaked me out because it has a mind of its own. But I do love playing it.

I am going to be there as long as I don't have a conflict. I'm guessing it's over labor day weekend. Big thanks, Lou.

Yeah, Drake is excellent. His music is very hauntingly beautiful. And thanks for sharing the article. I always love to find out what artists I like listen to because it's a great way to find new stuff.

I can't vote. That's way too hard to choose.

Hi, I am very new to buying stuff off of ebay, and I am interested in getting an effect pedal from a seller. I was wondering in general are most people satisfied with the quality of the equipment that they received because that's my biggest fear in buying off of ebay.

Now all you need is the FUZZ FACTORY!

I am not sure if they are playing two sets at Madison, but I do know there is an opener and the show starts at 8, which means I think there might be only one set. But I could and hope to be wrong.

I was planning on seeing the Singers in Chicago, but Martyr's is 21+. However, the Singers are playing at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, and it's 18+, which means I get to see them! I have been waiting to see Nels outside of Wilco for a long time. I tried to see him with Glenn Kotche when they played Chicago, but that show was 21+, and I tried to see him with the Scott Amendola Band at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, but that show was 21+. I mean I know the venues need to sell alcohol in order to make ends meet, but I'll pay for the alcohol that I won't drink anyways. I just want to see the

InGlenntion, you know the Cubs are going all the way this year!

Yeah, I think it's in Kot's book.

I went to the show last night mainly to see Califone. I thought they sounded great and their interaction with each other was fantastic. It just seemed like they were having a great time on stage. Maybe, I will write more later. But from what I wrote down and remembered after they performed (45 mins), the setlist was: Horoscopic Amputation Honey Spider's House Michigan Girls Fisherman's Wife The Orchids The Eye You Lost in Your Crusades Pink and Sour Your Golden Ass On a side note: I have seen Califone several times now in the past year, and I have yet to see hear any songs off of "Her

No Tweedy does not contribute to Eureka, but Glenn Kotche does contribute to both Insignificance and Eureka, and the EP Halfway To A Threeway (which I strongly recommend getting if you like both of the albums mentioned). I am getting more into his earlier out there stuff, and also all of his other side projects. But while I do like all is albums, my favorite has to be Bad Timing. It's just pure genius.

I hear most bands generally lose money when they play in more of the central/southern area of Florida, but then again, Wilco is playing in MT in the next leg of the tour.

I just checked High Noon Saloon's webpage and it's 18 and up. Hell yes! I am so driving to Madison that day.

I still think they are touring behind "Sky Blue Sky." And I wouldn't call it a nostalgia tour because if anything the older songs sound fresh and great with this lineup. Moreover, if they are being "nostalgic,"- which I do not think they are- then I love it because how many bands in one show can jump from "Casino Queen," "Pieholden Suite," to "Less Than You Think."

Does anyone know if they are playing in WI? I am just hoping to try and catch the Singers at a place where there is no 21+ age limit.

I'm only going to go the day Wilco is playing because three days for that crowded event is way to expensive and not really worth it. I had a much better time at Pitchfork last year, and it cost me only $55 with service charge!

One album: "Metal Machine Music."

Should we talk about tonicization next?

I think it loses some of it's duet flavor.

I am guessing you were going to see "Rite of Spring." Great piece! I actually saw John Kimura Parker (pianist) play "Rite of Spring" at my school. The piece was designed for four hands, but he did it with two, and it blew my mind away. By the way, I have always wanted to check out John Cage's music, but have never gotten a chance. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

This is a loaded question but as a small starter go with the Cello Suites by Bach. Get the ones by Alexander Rudin. I feel he does an amazing and beautiful job of catching the essence of each piece.
