Nonlinear Nonfiction

I sure hope they don't cancel because of all of you! hah...

for the record... calistar= Nonlinear Nonfiction AND Way to go! Probably my third favorite storytelling device: the emoticon! After miming and cartoons.

The Burn To Shine films, made by the same director as Sunken Treasure, sound pretty cool in concept. Are they worth watching?

I enjoyed the film for many reasons, partly because I'm a fan but also because I thought it was a very surpising release for a record label insofar as artist bios are concerned. I'm currently finishing a study on the history of documentary film and I'll take this opportunity to share my thoughts on the subject with a short critique: The filmmaker remarkably tried to include a wide variety of of Jeff's performances on that NorthWestern tour. Look at how many different kinds of songs and styles Jeff plays on the DVD: some songs are exactly what the most outrageous Tweedy fan would want - perfe

WOW. Incredible show...know if it's available?

Hah, it is Thanksgiving i guess!

MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!

Nice, perfect analogy.

One of my favorite Tweedy quotes (2004): "A piece of art is not a loaf of bread. When someone steals a loaf of bread from the store, that's it. The loaf of bread is gone. When someone downloads a piece of music, it's just data until the listener puts that music back together with their own ears, their mind, their subjective experience. How they perceive your work changes your work. Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator. People who look at music as commerce don't understand that. They are talking about p

Can't they just release the 25 track version now?

Five things Wilco did/did not do at your last show that you might have misconcieved as "boring:" 1) Opened with Misunderstood. This wasn't boring, it was a declaration at the beginning of the show that you are about to be rocked by nothing but pure rock from the soul of a man named Jeff Tweedy. 2) A majority of the songs they played were from YHF and AGiB. Count again, fool! Over the past year Wilco has regularly debuted new songs from an unreleased album (about one per month). In fact, for all we know they are figuring out how that album is going to sound based on your reaction at these

Okay, just want to get this off my chest... When we left the Kohl Center the other night, Jared and I were raving about how great Dylan's voice sounded and the songs he sang. We couldn't get over Tangled Up In Blue, She Belongs To Me, Summer Days (those are the ones where he really 'sung like a bird'). Some other friends of mine that scalped tickets minutes before the show started were already waiting outside. One of these guys came straight out and said it, "I don't like how he sounds, I didn't think it was that good." It's so sad. How many people were there to see the Foo Fighters and just

I remember when Wilco opened for R.E.M. When will Wilco be inducted? ahhhhh, yes.

Ungrateful. Either you don't hear the music at all or you're missing the good parts - I don't know what could possibly be boring about this band.

Okay, honestly I started this thread because I've been planning, anticipating, waiting for tonight almost two months now. I've read what you all have said and all I can say for myself is - Dylan was AMAZING. "For Halloween buy her a trumpet... and for christmas get her a drum" He hit it, he rocked it, unbelievable. My favorites were Tangled Up In Blue, She Belongs To Me, John Brown, Hwy 61.

What a COMPLIMENT to Box Full of Letters! Radiohead rocks!

at myself for not going. I shouldn't be ashamed. But I am.

Are these guitars any good and how does it connect to the sound system? Are there any effects built into the sound system? If I play it in my garage am I going to have to run my engine and risk choking on fumes?

very jealous...damn midterms! but! DYLAN TOMORROW!

We'll find a way regardless To make some sense out of this mess Well it's a test but I believe A kiss is all we need

Interesting...I found that video by searching for "kids with guns montana" !

My friend Al and I have a long going discussion about which is better: Spiders acoustic, or spiders with the whole band. I've found that the song can be categorized in three ways: Sometimes the band plays an 11+ minute version with jam-band-esque interludes and solos and bright flashing lights to the beat of the song; sometimes they have played a shorter version (about 5-6 minutes) without as many bells & whistles; and then, of course, there is the beautiful solo acoustic rendition by Jeff Tweedy. Help us out...

In the A.V. Club website a girl has a blog called The Hater and her post from a couple days ago has the movie embedded into it... Here's the link
