  1. No, but I did see the super-dreadful "Flashback". I do recall seeing "The Last Movie" but then again I could have been having a flashback. I am pretty sure I saw it on videotape, but I may have caught it at the Art Institute film center or something. LouieB
  2. I forgot about The American Friend, a Wim Wenders film. Great stuff. LouieB
  3. For sure. Dark Side of the Moon was on the charts for years. LouieB
  4. Sad. He was in a lot of great movies. LouieB
  5. I don't know St. Louis all that well, but I enjoyed the area around Washington University one time when I was there. Lots of big houses behind iron fences and such. Cross the river and go see Belleville for the hell of it. Also across the river are the Cahokia Mounds if you like native american stuff. LouieB
  6. Maybe the most famous song of this type of all time. Didn't Michelle Shocked also have a nasty song about Mercury too? LouieB
  7. Every album is different, obviously. Most will sell quickly within a few weeks of release while others get word of mouth sales, while others are perenial sellers (Kind of Blue sells thousands of copies a week still.) Contact some record companies for better info. LouieB
  8. What am I missing here?? summerteeth is for sale (on sale) for just over $17 American on wilcoworld. Why would anyone pay $60?? Don't we now live in a global economy? Well even the vinyl record sales must be in a bit of a slump. I am sorry I bought copies of all these things a few months ago. If I had waited I could get 13% off the whole deal. (I am missing an album or two so I guess the time is now....) Even kicking Television which everyone was paniced about around record store day is only $60. I guess there just aren't THAT many Wilco fans clamouring for this "limited edition" box s
  9. There you go. Over the last couple years I have picked up some of his Capital recordings and they are so fun. Hee Haw....of course I remember when he got played on the radio....(that seems to be the theme of my posts of late...I think I am sick of turning on the radio and hearing shit I can't identify or shit that is just that ....shit!!!) LouieB
  10. I don't know anything about this band....I just know drinking bongwater may be the stupidest thing ever.... LouieB
  11. Yea, except Pat Boone had been a singer, whereas the other guys were radio and then TV stars who had had variety type shows. I did not know those details about Linklater, that is interesting... LouieB
  12. Well the story on the news this AM was that they are adding to her property. But now that she is a millionaire I guess she could go anywhere she wants. LouieB
  13. This is a fairly bizarre story also. The writer next door is now freaked out about reporters coming to see him about his writing the book and has threated to call the police if the press and others step on the property which he is renting. LouieB
  14. it isn't like he cut it all off or anything. It will grow back. LouieB
  15. That is what I thought. He has been out of the public arena for a long time. I am going to guess most people here have no idea who he is/was. He left the air in 1970. The "kids say the darnest things" segments on his show used to be one of my favorite things ever growing up. LouieB
  16. You are even stretching my memory and I remember bottles only. But frankly I don't think that is is. There have been half gallon cartons for a very long time. Maybe it was the change from the cardboard half gallons to the plastic gallon jugs...I dunno. I am going to guess that there still are some plastic crates that could hold LPs if you hit the right dairies. LouieB
  17. Greetings to the New Brunette, Billy Bragg, Talking Poetry with the Taxman... LouieB
  18. Haven't heard the album, but I was around when it was a hit single....(ah remember those days of yore when they played music on the radio??) LouieB
  19. Probably she will do it again. I bet she needs the money. LouieB
  20. On one of the disks of the massive Charley Patton box set on Revenant there is a hidden track at the beginning of a disk. In order to get to it you have to push the CD back when you start it, otherwise it starts on track one. LouieB
  21. There are plastic crates that are big enough for LPs; perhaps the milk crates are no longer big enough. My record selling compadre and I utilize them. Obviously the ones with the high sides are the best so you can stack them. Check at office suppy type places. I second the liquor box idea. Many wine boxes are just right, but you have to hit up the stores at just the right time when they have them. I hope to never move again since I many less LPs the last time I moved and it was a freakin nightmare anyway. LouieB
  22. Okay...I give on this one....MO and KS are midwest. LouieB
  23. The song that came on was nothingsevergonnastandinmyway (again). I know the current band kicks ass, but something about the wonderful little fills that come at the end of lines and between verses in a song like this (and the others on ST) are Jay's lasting influence on even this band (who has to try and reproduce those things). Sure, the band now has great musicians and a great live sound. Meanwhile Wilco is now a big draw that travels the world to critical aclaim (and rarely even plays the midwest any more.) Jay's ongoing contribution can't be minimized by anyone. Both Mikael and Pat
  24. I didn't want to appear too dumb, but I thought the same thing. Some other GS event must have occured 8 years ago. LouieB
