The truth.

I'm just going to note that you claim to have heard this album but haven't said anything about it.

No one has seriously answered my question...

nice.

All the rediculous posts about how good or bad this album is!

Also, where the hell did this "chicago" character go. I think he/she just wanted to see what kind of response a post like that would get. Bravo! ok, jokes over...if you really heard it then start talkin' buddy.

Are there any other boards out there that are as active and passionate as Via Chicago (specifically designated in honor of a single band?) I know there are music discussions going on around the net...what have you seen/heard? Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend there is an Arcade Fire board somewhere where everyone is going nuts over Neon Bible and Wilco occasionally get's mentioned in a "Their Funeral" section designated for "Non-Arcade Fire Related Music Posts." EDIT: I just checked and there is in fact an Arcade Fire forum called "Us Kids Know" but, don't worry, it doesn't compare to

Well, i can respect that, you're entitled to an opinion! I actually really thought maybe there was some connection between the bands I was missing out on! Rock on...

no more drunk posting please!

I really like Pitchfork's censor-bar-circle thingamajig...

Please explain more...I have the same problem. Well, plus I'm on a mac. Any ideas of how to get around this problem?

I've been reading a brand new webbased publication called Politico. I believe it was started by some bigshots who left the Washington Post, but you can read the "about" section for yourself. Check it out, it's focus is on Washington but it's definitely a fresh go. Politico [dot] com

NetFlix I'm currently trying to get through about 20 documentaries from Netflix that I have found are not availalable from Blockbuster online before switching over. The in-store swap feature of their rental program is the sole reason why I think Blockbuster has Netflix beat on this one. If I want to watch the movie on my comp, I'll just put the DVD in the drive...rather than stream the video online.

I, too, love The Hold Steady and everytime Finn nods to his and my roots I smile... but Soul Asylum? Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get that one...

Spend a little extra...still get a heck of a deal.

I don't have time to listen to the recording to see if his age was mentioned, but since they sang happy birthday to Glenn on new years eve 2004 (MSG show), December 31st, 1971 is a great guess...HOWEVER! They sang it after Auld Lang Syne which means perhaps his birthday is actually January 1st, 1972? hmmmm

I know the desire to believe that kind of thought, but I hate to break it to you: the crime happens at your fingertips, so in that specific example - U.S. laws apply and the crime is on you.

The beautiful thing about Oink (for a Pirate, at least) is that everyone must be uploading a good ratio in order to participate: which means (in theory) an MPAA investigator who is simply trying to get on the site to catch people would have to start uploading high quality music in order to do so...which isn't likely. Also, because Oink moderates each torrent so closely - deleting anything that doesn't follow it's rules perfectly - I doubt anyone would be able to get one of those fake trackers up there (mentioned by Analogman earlier in this thread). If someone uploaded one of those fake tracke

That's 3.5 / 10 just to clarify for anyone who for whatever reason doesn't read pitchfork.

Yeah, I'm kind of sorry I even brought it up. But...the wilco boards in general:

What language are these guys singing in?!

This thread freaks me out.

After discussing this with a good friend we have determined that because Sky Blue Sky has just the right amount of buzz, and absolutely no "overhype," it will ride the critical acclaim of YHF and AGiB into gold status in less than 12.2 minutes after release. I have an inkling that Sky Blue Sky will be Wilco's mosts accessible album because the songs are just plain fun - as always the newest Wilco release will welcome another expansion to the band's already mammothly wacko crowd.

I wasn't home for the show...is it possible to rebroadcast it from somewhere the way they did the 930 club show?
