    Jeff Tweedy - Letters To Santa - 7/24/2010

    in After The Show

    Posted

    My girlfriend and I were fortunate enough to attend last night and would like to thank everyone that put in time for the rest of us to enjoy this incredible evening!

    My fiancé! Kathy for saying “yes” to my marriage proposal after Jeff was gracious to dedicate and play “Somebody, Some Morning, Some Time” for us.

    Congrats you guys! :thumbup

    Hope to see you at a show around here soon.

     

    What an incredible show.

    Wendy,

    Sounds like you all have pulled off yet another fantastic evening. That's just a great set of songs.

     

    35. Wish You Were Here

    Indeed...

    Inception

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    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, what's wrong with the following hypothesis:

     

    Everything from the very start of the film till Leo wakes up on the airplane is a dream. There is no 'dream sharing', there is no corporate espionage, there is no warrant for his arrest back home. There is only a guy who's coming home from a far-too-frequent business trip who misses his kids. He has a weird dream on the plane which includes the strangers he happens to be in first class with. He's a widower (maybe or maybe not with all the suicide baggage), and his dad or FIL (Caine) watches the kids. What if it's just some normal businessdude having a James Bond fantasy dream on a plane? Is there anything in the last 10 minutes of the film (post-Leo-wakeup) that prohibits that?

    I´m waiting for your congratulations,ladies and gentlemen.

    Even if your soccer knowledge are far away from the real world,please say thank you to the Spain team,fighting against the worst way to play:the Netherland-kung fu team and their English best supporter (dressed in black).

    Good football won,Mourinho lost again

     

    If I was a Netherland supporter last night (and I was for years) I felt embarrased:where is the spirit of Cruyff and Neskens,where is the wonderful team of Van Basten and Gullit?

    And the answer is :they´re all trying to play football last night,but in the Spanish team.

     

    :worship

     

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

    What albums are flawless to you?

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    100% yes...actually it has special meaning to me as the first time I saw Radiohead live Fitter Happier was the song they walked out to. I don't know why but I still have chills every time this song pops up!

     

    I didn't see the live thing, but I agree with the 100% yes. For me, OKC is modern day equivalent of Dark Side of the Moon. It all has to be in there, or it's just good songs on a good record. Those albums are both more than the sum of their parts.

     

    I don't know about this 'flawless' business... I think that probably changes over time per listener. It's just another way of saying what you like. I mean, I find less 'flaws' in stuff I like, especially stuff I like a lot. But carry on... I do see a lot of really really good albums listed.

    So, the kids have managed to infect two of our PC's with AV Security Suite. One much worse than the other. Plan A is to use Spyware Doctor to clean it up, and install Avast to keep a better eye on things.

     

    Sound like a good plan to anyone?

     

    thanks,

    So, I bought high violet and like it a lot.

    Some of the songs make me think "this is the record that coldplay

    wishes they would have made instead of x&y".

    That's not a slam at all, just a reaction.

    I want to try another one. What do you all recommend to get next,

    boxer or alligator? Or something else?

    Deeper Down

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    if the album had opened with deeper down and wilco song being a bonus track, the album would have been completely different.

     

    Good point. I don't think "better", but definitely "different".

     

    Wilco (the song) as the opener kinda says "OK, this one's going to be a rock and roll record". Deeper Down says "just kidding, folks".
