Shit happens.

I always thought Ann-Margaret did a pretty nice job in Tommy.

Klipsch S4i earbuds. I had a pair of Shure E2c's which I loved, but just wore them out over 4 years of hard use. I think I like the Klipsch's better. More comfortable for sure, and the sound is more in line with what I like.

For reals? TMI Also TMI Since we're all sharing here, did you mean that 97% drink or 97% wear adult diapers?

Yes!! In fact I used it today to get Andrew Bird tix at the Ryman. I like it. No captcha. It's pretty cool and seemed faster than online for the initial wave. (null)

Well, there's a $8.75 "convenience charge" to open the email... $9.75 if you want the virus-free version.

I got an email on this which got stuck in my spam filter. I guess it's legit! Hello buckfifty!!

Precisely half of Wilco's concerts are below average. By "average", I mean Wilco's average.

It's already 11/11/11 where I am now. nothing paranormal has happened yet, btw.

Good article, thanks for posting that. Although "bruised Americana" did make me cringe a bit. Yeah, the owl is awesome. Macrame. Which is a strange word that I often still get confused with macabre. This can be embarrassing. Nels also used to have some kind of fuzzy standup doll thingie on one of his amps. Like the thing you throw baseballs at to win a cupie doll at the carnival. I didn't see that one last time.

Lots more US dates announced for next year http://tour.rogerwaters.com/

Happy to share... it really didn't work for me last time.

yeah, same here. it's a daily pain in the ass (no, not literally). but I look like a old homeless guy after 2 days of not shaving, and the last time I grew a beard it came in really gray. I have enough gray hair without cultivating more.

Was it just the lighting, or did he really wear a purple pimp hat?

Seemed like a long-winded trip to nowhere, really. But I guess that an article that talks about the mediocrity-ness of music would not be all that interesting by definition. Kinda like holding up the word 'meh' into one of those infinity mirrors.

kinda hard to disagree with that. it's the one that best says "OK, get ready for something you never thought you'd hear, let alone hear and love". definitely some other very good contenders for that role, but only one best.

1,2,3, what are we fighting for?

what's the story on this remix version that popped up this week? Any good?

I can relate to that. I kinda fell out of concerts after college for a while. I didn't really get back into going until Springsteen in 2002(?) and then the Wilco obsession began and I haven't looked back since!

No! But thanks for asking.

I'm listening to the recording of that show now, and John's bass line in this song is outstanding. I don't hear it as much on the album, but this particular live version really sounds sweet.

Great headphone record.

Privilege, indeed.... nice read.

The Portable Residency Tour?

Only 4 or 5 minutes worth. Could have been longer for me, but it was a great intro for aoa.
