Best Dressed Band in America....

Happy Birthday Kate.

Looks like ticketmaster just released some choice seats for this show...

Yes, I'm driving up for both. Kind of an end-of-summer R&R for me... Any plans for a VC meet up on Monday?

I did and I do. Nicely done. It works. Vince

Gutsy post, Kevin. A lot of people never get to the point that you're at of really knowing who they are and getting OK with that. Looks like you're one of the few who does. Hey, maybe people like that kind of person even more than an extrovert... you know - honest, sincere, real... all those things that actually matter. Peace, Vince

I have given this several spins, and I like it a lot. I also thought it was going to be a grower at first, but it didn't take long.

Watched Jumper last night from teh Netflix. Interesting premise, but disappointing.

I wanted to like both of them when they came out, but they still keep falling to the bottom of my list. I'll pop one of them in from time to time, but they're not growers. The new one sounds quite good. Very excited about that.

That is the one that continues to surprise me. We have a 16 YO daughter, and she will debate / argue with everything anyone tells her when she hears it. But she processes it, and you can always tell (later) that it sunk in. It still amazes me at times. Those are all really good, btw. To add a couple: Pick your battles. Consistency is key, but not everything is a federal case... Make sure that they feel comfortable bringing their friends to your home.

The Blind Boys of Alabama did a version of Amazing Grace set to The House of the Rising Sun. It's breathtaking. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. No one will have a clue who it is... they'll just think it's pretty. Love the irony. Mountain Bed is great, but people hearing it for the first time wouldn't get it. Same is probably true for Videotape, and Last Flowers. Those are really moving, emotional songs for me, but only 'cause I've heard them so much. I think On & On & On would be the Wilco song of choice.

I, for one, am honored to be included in such fine company and will happily participate to the best of my ability.

"only" 90. Took a day off of regular work to work in the yard. Started early, but it was most unpleasant by about 1. I'm quite done for the day. Shouldn't be this way in June.

Half of it's you, and half is me.

I agree on that. I think it needed way more fiddle, especially since AB was there that night. It's such a fun ride on BT, and the live version just didn't seem to capture that. Maybe we just got spoiled with the live drone... but DIMD just wasn't quite the killer I was hoping for.

Which brings to light the question "how are we really going to be able to tell?"

Which one was the smart one, and which one was the cute one?

I like it. A lot.

Vinnie. Easy call.

This one's optimistic...

Does anyone know if that's a young Truman Capote in that avatar from that guy who's not posting here any more?

I heard that Glenn is auditioning all new crickets for the new record.

You jest!

I thought "Either Way" was from the "most recent".

some things are better left unbumped
