Does this mean I'm not going to get my $15 hotel room in a major city of my choice with a complimentary Chinese wedding dress?

I love hearing John sing, but I gotta admit I wish there was another Wilco song that he sang that I liked a little better. It's awesome live, but not because it's a good song. Just because John sings it ... and Jeff plays bass... Here's hoping that John gets to sing something on the new record that we can all request and go nuts over besides that one...

I'm not familiar with the teoma problem, but someone around here can probly help. Yes, I did go with the MSE solution back in June. Worked like a charm. And free, which was a key consideration. Spyware Doctor wasn't free iirc.

I'll go ahead and post up here in the 'civil' section of the thread. Interesting questions, I can see how those three would be lumped together. I admit I feel kinda old when bands I once thought of as new and edgy are classified as 'veterans'... *sigh* 1. Wilco 2. Wilco 3. No I am a longtime fan of all 3, but Wilco and Radiohead are only ones I see making good records right now. I also thought Accelerate had a 'sameness' (good term) that didn't keep it in my rotation very long. I am pretty excited about a new Radiohead record, since I thought Rainbows was a lot better than Thief. Alt

Actually I always assumed it was more "public service announcement". But the way that you always posted them a good 24 hours before I got my email was always a little, well, creepy.

Dear fellow nazi, there were some emails from Wilco HQ that said something like the South Bend show was the last show of 2010 in the midwest, and that the European leg of the tour would be it for 2010, so that's where most of us got the idea that this would be it for the year. It was pretty clear since July or so. You can join the e-mailing list on wilcoworld and be "in the know" like the rest of us. Or there's a thread on this board which has them all as well. Analogman seems to get those emails before anyone else. Must be a time zone thing or something. Carry on.

This is not the "leak is here" thread I was hoping for.

On my "airplane" playlist for sleeping on long flights I have these: Night Music - Joe Jackson I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business - (s/t) Love Over Gold - Dire Straits Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Birdy - Peter Gabriel Sea Change - Beck Weather Systems - Andrew Bird

yeah, I get that a lot.

Maybe it was a stretch, but I figured somebody on the board would get it. cop 1    /kɒp/ Show Spelled[kop] Show IPA –verb (used with object), copped, cop·ping. Informal . 1. to catch; nab. 2. to steal; filch. Take Def#2 ^ , and use that for a take on "Hop on Pop", and you come up with a witty, perhaps overly cerebral, name for a tribute band. By "Tribute band" I guess I really mean "ripoff band", which is what I usually think of when I hear that term. It's OK, I usually have to explain my jokes to my wife and kids, too. Somehow people just can't keep up with my style of humor.

Cop on Pop?

Thanks for compiling the updates... nice to see what's going on, for those of us who are still in the non-twit category.

I won't even try to compete with ^ But Happy Birthday Greg!

I wonder where they got those stats from? Perhaps?

Congrats you guys! Hope to see you at a show around here soon. Wendy, Sounds like you all have pulled off yet another fantastic evening. That's just a great set of songs. Indeed...

Saw it, loved it, ready to go see it again... (and I haven't paid to see a movie in a theater twice in a looong time!). Major spoiler / hypothesis below.

So, back to the topic of the album itself... I haven't gotten it yet, but I tried to go back and listen to "Whatever Happened I Apologize" again. I still don't like it. Is this one better / different? Thoughts?

Sounds sweet. I'll bet those LYO kids are pretty excited. My daughter was in the Central Kentucky version of that this past year (CKYO), and it was a pretty big deal. but they didn't get to play with MMJ... Greg, is that the former Freedom Hall there in Louisville? or some other place?

Yesterday and today was the summer advising conference for our daughter who enters college next month. Same school I went to (Kentucky) 30 years ago. Yeah, I'm feelin old.

Yes dear, congratulations. A great team, if not a great match!

apparently 1 more.... That was not the finals match that FIFA needed to garner additional fans. I know very little about the game, but that was pretty dull to me.

On a somewhat related note, it seems that iOS 4 being installed on iTouch 3rd gen devices is a major battery drain even in standby. The battery completely drains overnight in standby mode, which it never did before. Lots of buzz on the interweb here and here to name a couple. If anyone has a good / simple solution, I would be most obliged.

Yes. Yes, I do. Seems to fit fine right where it is on the record. There's enough up and down / slow and fast from track to track already that I think allows it to fit in there.
