Thanks. I needed that. I am tired of grading essays.

No results found for descifrate. Did you mean desecrate (in dictionary) or Desperate (in encyclopedia)?* *www.dictionary.com

What does this mean and why did you choose my post to say it to?

I am not a collecter of records or memorabilia. I do have an album that is rare and means quite a lot to me. It is a copy of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Why is it rare you wonder? (or not), because it was a gift from a student last year. She was a student of mine all 4 years and she is truly one of the kindest, most genuine people that I have met. She could have been the inspiration for Juno. She is the epitome of what I call a cool lil' chick. Anyway, it was the perfect gift, something that I NEVER would have bought for myself, hell never even considered buying, but nothing could have made me happ

Me too! Easy. All 3 shows!!

WHOOT!! We are in for all 3 Pageant shows!!

True. I can't say that i actually heard him say, "Fill the aisles", only to come down front. The truth is that that is an invitation for people in the back to scramble forward for a better spot and they are going to fill the aisles. I agree that clogged aisles are unsafe. I too get annoyed when people violate my personal space, even at a GA show if it's avoidable.

I can name some shows I attended where Tweedy encouraged people to fill the aisles and/or come to the front! Of course that was always mid-show or later ...

I have enjoyed reading this thread. Mainly because it has reinforced the cliched but true adage about our differences making the world a more interesting place. I have never spent any time trying to uncover the meaning of "I am an American aquarium drinker, I assassin down the avenue" or any other lines in I Am Trying... . I don't have any memoreis of trying to ever decipher the meaning of any abstract lyrics by anyone. I am sure that I have but not recently and never for very long. I just enjoy the songs/lyrics as they are. I am moved by the word play and imagery of abstract lines. For exampl

That is such bullshit, how the idiots near you can ruin a concert. Have you heard the show since then? It may sound like a better show sans boorish neighbors. If not and you'd like a copy, PM me.

Asheville would be great. I love that town. A fine beer city. Did you see them in Asheville back in October of 2005? That was truly one of the best Wilco shows that I have seen.

Wow!1 We definitely see it differently!

" 'jcroach' I did not care for "The Search" at all. I haven't checked out Gob Iron yet. Is it any good?" I agree. Okemah and the Melody of Riot and The Search are hit and miss for me. Gob Iron is a good album. Jay and Anders Parker play all of the instruments. It is mostly reinterpretations of public domain tunes and is worth hearing. It may or may not hold up to repeated listenings depending on the listener... "caliber66 I thought Heidorn dropped out after Straightaways" No. He and the Boquists were there on the SV cover of 'Open All Night' from the 'Nebraska' tribute album in 2000.

I can fully understand someone not digging the 2 most recent Son Volt albums or maybe some songs on Farrar solo albums but all of the first 3 Son Volt albums, with Mike Heidorn and the Boquists, are stellar from beginning to end.

Yes1 Collect them all! Then give the Son Volt/Jay Farrar/Gob Iron albums a try. Starting with Trace, Straightaways, Wide Swing Tremolo and Sebastopol.

Whoa1 Teh Bennett looks like a member of 'A Flock Of Seagulls' cover band!

As Larry said, you will find it on one of the greatest albums ever recorded. The 16th anniversary of this excellent collection of covers and originals was a couple of weeks ago. You are very lucky because by listening to March 16-20, 1992 you will also be introducing yourself to Jay Farrar, another songwriting genius. I envy you!

I mean that I don't skip songs when listening to a cd. I honestly do not have any cds that I regularly listen to that have a song(s) that is/are truly unlistenable to me. No albums that I love enough to listen to but on a track or 2 wail, "Dear God! That is a an aesthetic crime of the highest order! How that 'song' is on this otherwise excellent album is beyond my comprehension! Oh skip function, you are truly a gift from the Creator!" Maybe I am actually a poseur and don't really understand good music. Who knows? All I know is is who gives a tinker's damn whether or not someone does or doesn'

The only time that I have ever skipped a track on an album (cd) was the horrid Bon Jovi song on the first 'A Very Special Christmas'. That song is just that bad. I personally don't get the whole skipping tracks thing. I know people that skip all of the Tweedy tunes when they listen to an Uncle Tupelo cd and I know folks that skip all of the Farrar tracks. I had never heard of the whole idea of skipping tracks on a single band/artist's cd until people started a thread about it on jayfarrar.net several years ago. I have to admit that I was flabbergasted. The concept is silly to me. What is silli

My youngest likes them. The oldest isn't really into music! That picture of Shane would scare the hell out of kids, though!

You are a lucky dad!
