His saving grace. Unlike a certain James Blunt, whose Austin City Limits I recently watched....for some reason.

Yeah, but at least Mayer's voice is pretty "soothing". James Blunt's voice makes me want to chop of my ears with a blunt knife.

I moved out of St. Louis in 2001. My friend called me this morning to tell me about this show, wish I could be there

Man, I'm gonna be useless until tomorrow night. Only thing to contemplate is whether to eat at Campisi's or Snuffers before the show. Decisions...

Agreed. Any ideas about the metaphorical importance behind Screen Door?

I think screen door is really nothing more than what it's like to live in a poor small town and be at the age (18-22ish) when you only have a certain amount of responsibilities, especially if your in school.

in one of the lounge ax shows from back in the day, the first performance of it if I understand correctly, after a flase start Jeff explains he wrote it ont he way from blockbuster to the venue. and yes sometimes its as simple as you a dollup of dreamwhip and a piece of pecan pie.

I'm thinking that was his last lounge ax performane, if it's the same one where he talks about making sure he plays certain songs since it's his last oppertunity (besides the Wilco performance a few days later).

I wouldn't say it's simple at all. I completly agree with Nonlinear. Sometimes it's song's like these that I get the most out of. They are definitly the most fun for me to sit down and play.

When is the release date though?

March 27th

P.S...what the hell is up with Pecan Pie?

Elaborate...

I got about 10 and decided to stop for now. I was thinking the grim reeper was "The Seventh Seal" but no dice.

when you get back, tell us what drama unfolds these next few months and what the new lineup is.

 

you are coming back, right?

The new lineup is on the album cover above.

Here is the leaked album art:

Solomon Burke - Nashville (apperantly "Is That The Thanks I Get?" was written for him by Jeff for this album but something happened)

Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

Owen - At Home with Owen

Pavement - Wowee Zowee Reissue

Brian Wilson - Smile

Not all new new but just some I've been listening to this last week.

I wonder if that's Jeff or Pat's guitar.

From what is known:

Runtime is 45 minutes longer

several new special features (interviews, reunion, Japan press tour home video, etc.)

Still remains one of my favorite movies based on how purely fun it is to watch. I would never call it groundbreaking, but the band performances (especially of "Little Wild One" and "Dance with Me Tonight") rival many live DVDs (of real bands) I've watched in terms of having that "feel" to them. They really did a great job of simulating what it feels like to play music with other people, infront of other people. And as a film editor (and as a person who just watches a lot of movies), this is the type of refeshingly straightfoward type of film that I can come back to time and time again and not get tired of. Anyways, enough of my bullshitting...

Just thought some of you might be interested to know this is coming out, I'm excited to see what they have added to it, but I wouldn't ditch the theatical cut yet.

In somewhat related news, the Directors Cut of "That Thing You Do!" comes out in mid March as a 2 disc set. Can't wait for that.

I got in on the signed pre order, but the mail hasn't come yet. I'll tell you when I get it.

I saw it at the Angelika in Dallas a few weeks ago. Great, great movie. Too bad I got there right before it started and had to sit front row. Definitly looking forward to seeing it again.

I think this is about time he sneaks in one of his Cohiba's for old times sake.

I'm gonna be there, and both nights Austin. mmhmm. I think we need a preshow board meetup at Snuffers. See if we can get Jeff to share some cheese fries.

It is most definitely slick looking...but those are renderings, i'll wait and see what it actually looks like coming out of production.

I can't think of a recent Apple product that didn't look just as slick in real life as the "renderings" during the keynotes.

sma4GB model - $499

8GB model - $599

available: shipping in June

I'll buy it when the price drops.

it'll be worth it to see the Family Gardener - that's gotta be top 5 tweedy for me

Didn't Scott actually write that though?

Me 24 hours from now...

"Children of Men"

6. Hit the Plane Down-Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Pavement)

Couldn't agree more. Good thing it's almost at the end of the album.

Man, hearing Jeff say it sounds similer to Being There couldn't make me happier. That combined with Jim O'Rourke mixing, I think I might just hibernate until April.
