Kind of an old midwestern / hillbilly joke. “I’ve (they’ve) got summer teeth …. Some are missing and some are not”

Jayhawks... in my very own town!

Shortly after Nels joined the band, Nels and Glenn did a little solo-duo tour that brought them here to Lexington which is where Glenn went to college. It was not long after Mobile, and Glenn played all of Monkey Chant along with some other amazing things. There were crickets. Nels somehow made incredible sounds with a plastic toy guitar and a box fan with one fan blade missing. They each played a set alone then one together. No Wilco tunes; just amazing sounds. Seeing these guys in a non-Wilco setting was mind blowing.

Low Cut Connie (again). This time at my very favorite venue (The Burl) in my very own city (Lexington). Still gonna schvitz I'm sure. So. Much. Fun.

Low Cut Connie. Outdoors. There will be Schvitzing.

The fb group (a private group - must be “approved” to join) is called A Shot in the Arm and has 12k members. It’s weird in that even though you have to use your real name (as opposed to here where you usually have anonymity), the trolling and bitching are just bananas. Kinda like here back when things were obnoxious as hell like 15-20 years ago. VC actually seems like it’s the grown up table and fb is where the bratty kids (5%) and the fanboys (25%) hang out and collide on a regular basis while the majority just kinda watches. VC seems to have actual discussion. WHO KNEW?

pioca for the aging sedate crowd?

This seems to be behaving again this morning for me. Thanks !!

I can still get to the forums directly, but the "All Activity" and "Unread Content" buttons don't seem to be working for the past couple weeks. I get this message on my laptop or phone browser (Firefox) when I try either of those Sorry, there is a problem Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX144

...and you didn't even bother to say hello to me??

Guided by Voices.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Rescheduled TWICE… I’ve had this ticket forever it seems. Gonna be worth the wait tho.

I won't be going to RSD on Saturday (out of town, and not a huge vinyl collector anyway), but I can check on Monday and see if our local record shop still has a copy if you didn't score one over the weekend. I'm in the US by the way. I presume we met last month?? I'm Vince - I was at all the shows there.

There was one night in either the original Residency or (more likely) the first winterlude where they played a really weird set - maybe more bleak than deep - that Jeff said “would never happen again” or something like that. I don’t recall a deep cuts set at SSF tho. I’m sure bbop would know….

The Enmore was indeed more suitable for a rock show than the ICONIC (oops I did it again) Sydney opera house, not that I’m endorsing one over the other. But for sure the Enmore show felt a lot looser than the previous night at what Jeff described as being “inside someone’s sculpture”. The Enmore had a cool art deco vibe throughout with lots of velour and cool details all around. The setup was unique in that there was a GA “pen” in front of the stage for about 1/3 of the floor area, with a rail BEHIND the “pen” but none in front so it was all elbows-on-stage for the very crowded GA section.

firstly let me be clear that I’ve never been in a bathtub with JT (or any member of the Wilco band and/or Tweedy family or organization) so that’s not my area of expertise. secondly I was really hoping to conduct my own (solo) experiment on the whole drain thing but it turns out that all four lodging choices I’ve made have showers without bathtubs so it’s going to remain unverified for me. Science will have to wait. Alas.
