Videotape - Radiohead

Chemtrails - Beck

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd

Cataracts - Andrew Bird

Well, at least he won the first round of the NIT last night against UNLV. Home court advantage, though. We played in our old gym / current practice gym which is literally just across the street from the team's dorm...

But yeah, the pitchforks and torches await the inevitable tourny exit around this place lately...

IN !

We need a better name for this decade.

Joe Jackson - Night Music

I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business (self titled)

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Steely Dan - pretty much any of them...

Those often make my ipod list for long overnight flights. +1 for Useless Creatures.

About half. My wife is a less-than-rabid fan for most of the stuff I'm interested in, so I'm OK with going alone sometimes, especially if I can get a good seat down front. I went by myself to the JT show at the Vic last month, and actually that was a little uncomfortable being alone since it's kind of an "intimate" setting.

Mixed bag for me as well, depending on the song. In general, I find myself listening more to live shows than studio.

Via Chicago live is a near-religious experience, and the studio version doesn't come close.

I prefer many of YHF tracks on the studio version than live.

Etc, etc...

MARCH MADNESS BEGINNETH !

Unfortunately, the Cats are bringing a 4 game losing streak into the SEC tournament, and I think we're pretty much gonna have to ace the thing to get to the dance...

At least we can root for Morehead State.

Hoo boy

does anyone think that the band considers any of their songs a "hit"?

I'm sort of obsessed right now with being completely surprised when it comes out.. I think if/when the album leaks, I will completely avoid threads that discuss the album.. I might even plug my ears if/when they play new songs at the concert I will be attending in April.. No, not really, but you get my point..

Me too. I have heard a couple of the songs live, but I don't plan to do what I did with SBS which was to gather up all the live recordings of the new songs and listen a lot prior to the release or even the stream. I didn't enjoy SBS as much after that, and don't want to do that again.

what would be without wishful thinking? thought i was the only one in lex. we should have a race to knoxville!

Hey! There are a couple of us here in town, and I suspect a couple more lurkers...

I'm planning on being out of town for pretty much all of the April tour, so Knoxville is unfortunately out. But I think they will swing back through and hit somewhere like Cinci or Lvl or even Indy... they always have.

OK, the last three Wilco shows I

In case anyone was wondering...

As a matter of fact, I was. Good to hear that things are looking up. And the Wilco thing is a nice little addition as well. Hang in there.

no regrets. everything you are now, you are because of the choices you made and the things you've done. it's all part of who you are. second-guessing yourself is not healthy. let yourself just be who you are. it's OK to want to live better / be a better person, but that's all about what's in front of you, not behind you.

I cannot sit around and wait ...

Perhaps things in Des Moines, Iowa will slow down enough so that you can return soon. We'll be here.

its like we're part of club

I would've lead you to believe that I had a ticket secured for you, only to sell it to someone else before you got here. then, I would probably drown you.

With friends like that, ...

The most important band in America in this decade is actually the 3 or 4 judges who sit at the table in American Idol and determine what will be bombarded upon us through the airwaves in the coming years. Simon & Co have been at the wheel for popular music this decade. Nothin you can do about it, 'cept hopefully outlast it till it dies a natural death.

How did Ben get all beat up?

Also, I think this is the first time that the white flash-jump thingie actually put people in a different place. For the ones still on the island, they always came out of the other side of the flash in the same spot. For the folks on the plane last night, they ended up several thousand feet lower, and not in the same proximity to each other. And unharmed... what's that all about?

No, no bother at all. In fact, I noticed the "stealth" video shooting once, and thought it was quite unobtrusive. I was behind you one row just to your right, on the long padded bench thingie. The video's are great... no complaints.

I can understand what you mean about people and their cameras. When I shoot stills or video I hold the camera as close to my body as I can and make sure that it's in front of me so as not to ruin the view of anyone behind me. I'm always very conscious of the people around me. I sat both nights with people I didn't know who waited all day in line for the show. None of them seemed to be bothered by what I was doing and I offered to pass on what I took and we exchanged e-mails and they seemed very happy. That is all.

On Friday, were you in the second row of the first non-gold section? Kinda left of center, dark toboggan, beard?

It was a really loose kind of show. In a good way. My first JT solo, and first show at the Vic. Fun place. I had no idea it was that small. I can't imagine the energy at the residency shows lat year. Or waiting in line 5 nights in Feb.

Some of the things I recall....

After he played the community song, he said that it was a nice song, and that was the last nice song we would hear..

He relayed the story about his dad calling on the cell phone at the LRS... naked.

Hate it Here translated reasonably well to acoustic. Jeff was lamenting about not having the band for that one.

The tradition of the first 30 people in line picking the songs was continued, but Jeff was ripping on the geeks who would try to vie for the honor of finding the most obscure tune possible for him to play (B-side of a promotional 7" UT something or other...)

"Which one of you parents is the one in the BMW who cuts me off in carpool line every day? You know who you are..."

Kingpin acoustic is, well,... awkward.

We heard a new song that Jeff said he wrote and which will be on the new album. Something about plastics trees...

Major brain fart on Should Have Been In Love.

"Most" of the other band members were allegedly there last night. I'm pretty sure I saw Glenn in the balcony box with Sue.

Sue was made at Jeff because he did something wrong IN A DREAM SHE HAD ABOUT HIM. Jeff disavowed responsibility.

You'll enjoy listening... saw one taper, and he said etree. Fun show. Time to get back on the road south...
