Long Ryders

My take:- Unless VW has some sort of child sweat shop operation in effect (Nike, Gap anyone?) then I have little interest in how much money Wilco make. In fact, pretty much the more the better. Wilco is a business with quite a few people to support now. I am much more interested in how it is SPENT. Only then could I lose respect in any individuals involved. Living grounded family lives. No problem. Jeff Tweedy suddenly gets all blinged up, then I start to sigh. And that's not going to happen Don't know why there is so much of a rumpus over this. Let him that hath no sin and all that.

Nice interview. The Jeff at the gym bit is funny. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts/music/fe...icle2562986.ece (Posted in another thread but I think it got overlooked - interview deserves to be read) Edit - sorry - I think the link works now I heard that SBS is no. 39 in the UK album chart too.

Here's one that seems more relaxed. "Dad, my nose is itching." http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/f...icle2562986.ece

F... You Mother F...er (It was a Tourettes benefit)

I think Kaiser Soze is second from right.

It's good. A bit more of a soulful turn on her meandering career thu the genres (which is a good thing).

I have enjoyed:- Genghis Blues : http://www.genghisblues.com/articles/reuters.html Burnt By the Sun - Stalin's times The Barber of Siberia - Turn of the century 'epic' that is sprawling and unfocused but has some memorable scenes Prisoner Of The Mountains - Story set in Chechnia Come And See (Idi I Smotri) - Be warned: this is a brutal (anti) war film based around the annihilation of a Russian village by the Nazis

Hey Chicken?

In the mould of the usual 'star goes to Africa to appeal for donations' pieces, until about 2 minutes in - when RG slaps you in the face and gives it a quite breathtaking moral twist. Very very clever, and funny too.

What did you mean when you said she was just 17?

Where, please?

Does an artist (usually/often) have active involvement in mastering? Do they just have a final 'No I don't like that - do it again' decision? Is it just a technical process? I'm really not sure.

Quite good power pop. Produced by Nick Lowe.
