  1. just woke up and pulled the first thing out my "to listen to" pile... happened to be 9 nov 79 dylan show (one of the gospel ones)...

     

    lounge around the day and head off to a friends bday tonight, get pissed and make an arse of myself at karaoke :lol i hope they have an open-mic instead

     

    wake up with a headache tomorrow morning... suf the net a bit. have lunch, headace will disppear and then i'll hit the piss behind my computer, you know.. the normal sunday afternoon stuff :beer

  2. My only complaint >

    Too Far Apart is too short.

    I'd like a 15 minute extended disco version.

    :D

     

    it should be too hard to put it in cooledit, loop some parts over and over and add some beats over.. hey, there's an idea

  3. me and a friend went across before for a few :beer cause there are 2 new hot girls working there... so we went for P&P (pint & perv)... nothing out of ordinary.

     

    there was a private function in there where some suit/tie clad people were sitting around. they had this guy playing guitar and singing stuff (the only song i knew was First cut's the deepest). anyway, he was playing this gibson 12 string... when he took a small break, i pointed out the guitar to my friend. he overhjeard me and cames over. said he needs to take a shit and asked whether i wanna plya something to them in the meantime..

     

    i didnt want to but my friend forced me up and a staff member that knows me also started badgeringg me. so, i went up and belted out Gun for them... i got a few claps and a few polite smiles... damn it sounds weird on a 12 string...

     

    theni went back to the table we were at and noticed a fistfight outisdre between 2 construction workers that are building a crapark next door... cools stuff that went for a minute or so till it got broken up.. hows that for what a crapopy morning turned into! :lol

  4. how fantastic it would be if just one night preferably in my city, Wilco, played the entire track list, in the same order, of AM as their main set. I guess as something of a Wilco history lesson to the new fans.

     

    that was sort of done in 2003... Missoula, where the set ran in chronological order... nice show too

  5. i was planning to start an AM appreciation thread soon when i'm drunk but you beat me to it!

     

    i love the album. wilco were unheard of down here when it came out (mermaid avenue was our formal introduction). after buying that album, i went back to BT and AM and loved them both. AM struck me from the beginning.

     

    i dont think its al-country as people keeping saying. most of the songs are simple little rockers that deserved airplay and could have been hits... true, some tunes (its just that simple and thats not the issue have the twang), but i cant hear country vibes in box full of letters, too far apart, shouldnt be ashamed or passenger side)

     

    i was listening to a show recently where jeff refered to the album as the "bastard child of our catalogue". which unfortunately is true. pity they dont really play much off it at all nowadays. pick up the change and should've been were regulars in the set in late 2001 but then everything apart from passenger side and casino queen seemed to disappear down the shitter.

     

    i give it :thumbup

     

    and the "pissed that you missed" rhyme is worth the price of admission alone :lol
