First Album: Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds live First Concert: I was 6 years old and I had to have an operation on my leg to saw off this big bump that hurt anytime I bumped it on something. The night before the operation my mom took me to see The Rankin Family to take my mind off of it. My second concert was The Moffats (not my idea, my friend forced me in grade 4), and then in the summer of 2005 (I think) I went to Calgary to see Bob Dylan. I tend to tell people that he was my first concert.

you funny

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I made this AMAZING!!!!!! indian chick pea soup. I should really dig out the recipe to share it with you all....I'll try to tomorrow! It'll be worth the wait!!

I totally agree with you. I've been listening to this cd for about the past month on repeat. My favourite tracks are 'The Limit To Your Love', 'I Feel it All', 'My Moon My Man', and 'How My Heart Behaves'. I wish I could go and see her in Calgary in May, but I have to save up any extra $$ for possible Wilco excursions in the fall. Its really a great album over all. There's not one track I don't like.

Whenever I see Fricke on IATTBYH, I always think he has the kindest looking face I've ever seen. I don't take the grin for smugness...

last night the movie Blow was on tv, so I watched it for probably the 20th time or something. I never tire of that movie.

I doubt that those who requested "rare/random songs" did so just to be "cool". If people have a chance to request one of their favorite songs, regardless of how 'known' or 'popular' or 'mainstream' it is, then they should take advantage of that opportunity and do so. And it seems like many did take advantage of the amazing opportunity. I really doubt that people's requests were based on how 'cool' it would make them seem. I'm not attacking you, just putting in my two cents...

YAY! Hope everybody had a fantastic time. I would have killed to be there!!! Well, not really.

guacamole and a home-made raspberry martini....couldn't get any better!

When I saw them in Calgary last year, that's how the night started off, Handshake Drugs> Impossible Germany....and it was fantastic!!!

I thought Babel was good, but not great. I didn't really think it deserved all of the oscar buzz. Last night, I saw Reign on Me, which I thought was really good. I really love Don Cheadle's work, and Adam Sandler is so great in this. There were a few tears shed, i really can't help these things.

oh man! i'm sure happy for all of you easterners who will get to go and see them. i really hope that in late august they play some west coast dates, and maybe i'll catch a flight to vancouver...

leaving out jeff... 1. dylan 2. young 3. waits

thanks everyone. i'll give 'er a try when i get home tonight!

Alright...so I've had the gumbo pages version of this song for a long time, but I don't like playing it because its too low for me to sing along with. Now I'm no guitar wiz, so I was wondering if any of you might know how to play this song in a higher register...that's probably the wrong terminology... is there a way to do this by just playing with a capo, and if so what would be the chords with the capo on... thanks for any help, and just a word to the wise, any responses should be very specific, as i can be quite daft when it comes to these things.

hmm...i'm just getting this now and I'm very excited to hear this 13th track....thanks for letting us know!!

I love it and can't wait to hear it live. also, i just discovered that El Perro Del Mar also has a song called Shake it Off...its also pretty good!

doo doo

at the moment: 1. You Are My Face 2. Hate It Here 3. Should've Been in Love (I just recently realized what a fantastic song this was after listening to a live show) 4. Spiders (acoustic or electric) 5. Side With the Seeds there are way too many fantastic ones though!

i really love the wide spaces in Shake it Off, you know? It's not too busy...

wow. when i saw them in calgary last year, my ticket came to about $45 including all of the extra ticketmaster charges.

Happy Birhtday! Hope you have a great day...and year!!

this semester one of my classes is the history of rock and roll (1948-68). i've become obbsessed with The Coasters! I would recommend the songs 'Little Egypt', 'Down in Mexico', and 'Smokey Joe's Cafe'. There fantastic!
