  1. Think it'll be on Spotify? For WY20, I don't see the need nor the point. For AMF, I could see that... just wondering, buying AMF anyway.
  2. Yeah, Fake Fur Coat is my favorite song on this disc. But the line "I couldn't hold you long enough" from "Where My Love" is definitely my favorite lyric since "half of it's you, and half is me". Gorgeous.
  3. Listening to this one a few times this week. A couple thoughts... AD gets pretty lost in "A Little Help...", but they definitely add a beautiful harmony in the midst of some Lips-induced noise. I thought the DSOTM cover was more "Lips-ified" than this one is. I still like that one better than this one so far. I'll go ahead and say it - Miley Cyrus does a pretty darn good job on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
  4. if you're still in Nashville, stop by their store which is on 5th in the country music hall of fame building. if not, I'd suggest you call them. I picked up a night 2 poster yesterday before I left town, and they still had a few of each night for sale "behind the counter". I doubt if they will put them on the web site.
  5. To all the people behind us in section 5, apologies for the banner signage. I tried to keep them brief and not too obnoxious. The "Happy 20th" got a nice nod, but the "Bull Black Nova" got waved off by Jeff at the start of the first encore... alas. Highlights for me on this second night - It's Just That Simple. Love hearing John sing that. - Candyfloss / I'm a Wheel in the first encore. - 30 totally different songs from night 1.... 60 songs... a lotta Wilco. Thanks to Sarah for talking me into hanging out by the stage door long enough to say Hi to Jeff and have him sign my poster that
  6. thanks for the tip. Much shorter line than last night!
  7. 30 songs.... all over the place (pun intended). Highlights for me were: - Hearing a song that I've never heard before (Promising) - The Misunderstood acoustic / off-mic closer, including Jeff being "choir director" on our loudness for the nothings - Hearing my namesake song (Shot in the Arm), and watching Nels wave his guitar wildly for the ending, while Pat banged out the piano parts and Mikael used a pillow to abuse his keyboard to make amazing sounds. It's quite a spectacle. - One Wing... hadn't heard that in a while. So good. - Getting both Nels face-melters (Ashes and IG); the lighting
  8. Hopefully this snafu won't affect the beverage stands this evening.
  9. Section 5 row D.... both nights. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Vince
  10. I plan to spend my evening with Wilco
  11. I was hoping for several alternate versions of the drone from Less Than You Think.
  12. Wow, the Peninsula is pretty swanky. Great location on the point of Kowloon. There's a really good tailor about a block from the hotel who I would recommend if want some clothes made. PM me if you want that.
  13. For Hong Kong, get an Octopus card. It's a rechargeable "ticket" that works on the subway, bus, Star Ferry, and even in many of the 7-11 type shops in the subway. It's a lot easier than buying single trip tickets. The subway is a breeze there. If the weather is clear at night, the view at The Peak is well worth it. I also recommend the jade market (daytime) and the temple street night market. There is no better city on the planet for people watching than Hong Kong. It's the safest big city I know of. There's not a dark alley I wouldn't go down in HK. I haven't been to Seoul in a whi
  14. Today I find myself with a missed flight to China and an unexpected overnight in Seattle. What to do here??
  15. I believe it's time that Lotti interviewed Gornok. I'd like to see that post soon.
  16. We've Been Had is definitely hard to argue with. Screen Door would be my pick if I only had one choice. Wilcobase shows that it was played a few times back in the mid 90's.
  17. Vibeage... You guys hang in there.
  18. I think this would be the emoticon of choice:
  19. That was pretty adorable. My favorite since the Popeye video!!
