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. How many completely ethical shoppers are there here. Frankly life is too short for me.

Nice interview. The Jeff at the gym bit is funny.

(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.

I think Jeff has this effect on everyone who interviews him. I don't really know why...but interviewers always seem nervous around him...and for his part, he always kinda has a "deer in headlights" look in interviews.

Here's one that seems more relaxed. "Dad, my nose is itching."

Shake'n'Bake!

Here is a local-regional question:

Jeff sings Hummingbird to a little girl onstage during the Asheville October 14, 2005 show. As he handed her back to her parents he said, "________ ___ __________ _________"

She shows up at the Chapel Hill March 5, 2006 show wearing a shirt with this quote and again, got to go onstage during Hummingbird.

 

What was the quote?

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's yellow and goes "Slam, slam"?

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

Thin, silvery, circular.

I think some of the Brits have been to the event in past years. Maybe check back here in a couple of days time.

it's a setting that any member can uncheck now

Where, please?

hopefully he stops in london to master the new album at abbey road

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.
