OK, one more (this is addictive)

K-Settes starring Butcher's Pants

Can we do covers?

Don't fear the pants

Immigrant pants

Outtapants (Outta mind)

Nice one. The thing is though, someone that only likes poppy rock isn't going to like Wilco.

Didn't people used to say that about the Beatles? Although I guess they got their "poppy rock" out of the way first...

Pot Kettle Pants

Y'all are taking this way too hard.

And really, what IS Walken about? Anything?

If I was only casually acquainted with Wilco, and formed an opinion off these performances alone, I would say this band had jumped the shark. I get the whole appeal to the mainstream thing, but come on, with the catalog and talent these guys have, to trot out Walken for the thousandth time just disappoints me.

What is it with the raggin on Walken thing? It's just a happy little love song. It's got a little bounce, a little twang, a little sap. Add a little horn section, and it's a pretty funky little number. Why is that a bad thing? Makes me smile every time I hear it, and live with horns is just that much better. Not everything in the catalog has to be the same. Isn't that why we like these guys so much? We all love the other stuff too, but it seems odd to me that a simple, straightforward, happy little love song gets so much angst from the board.

Musta been the suit, that's all I can figure...

- Fred Armisen's comedian character on the news was hilarious - he is quite a talent. "It's just...I mean...I have three cousins?"

Yeah, that one was pretty funny. Kinda along the lines of Gilda Radner's Roseanne Rosanadana (sp?) for us old timers, but pretty funny.

And Walken was the better of the two songs played. I think it shows more of the band's creativity than Hate it Here. Nels is the only guy I've ever seen who can get an aerobic workout sitting in a chair playing lap guitar...

I am thinking I am the Man Who Loves You next.

Yeah

Just right.

The guitars and the horns go well together on this one. And they really have Glenn's cymbals mixed nicely tonite.

Glenn's cymbals are especially nice on this one tonite

Ashtrays, indeed.

nicely done.

Well with the mortgage crisis I guess everyone will end up living in their cars with their laptops driving around til they find free 'net so they can listen to Wilco's live broadcasts

I wouldn't have made that connection, so thanks for 'splaining.

I like where this setlist is going tonite.

Ok, this'll do.

I didn't hear the Bob Newhart song. not a good sign....

Opener guess?

hope so.

geek out threads are a bad day's savior.

man, this is a pretty quiet geek out thread. I vote we hijack the whiney Charleston threads and spread the love over there.

When threads collide... this is in #41 from the "Stuff White People Like" blog here.

They are always on the look out for the latest hot band that no one has heard of so that one day, they can hit it just right and be into a band BEFORE they are featured in an Apple commercial. To a white person, being a fan of a band before they get popular is one of the most important things they can do with their life. They can hold it over their friends forever!

Sounded vaguely familiar...

I'm wondering how many of the "Oceanic 6" are still around in the flash forwards? Jack testified that only 6 survived the crash, but Kate was a hero and fed them etc., and "would have saved the other two..."? Does this mean that six survived the initial crash (according to what is known to the rest of the world), but two of those six "died" on the island, so only four were rescued? Jack, Kate, Hurley and someone else? I'm sure if Sayid would have been one of the 6, he wouldn't be a very successful hitman, or whatever he is - he'd be recognized everywhere.

I'm confused. Doesn't all of that story have to be a load of crap for the whole character witness / testimony thing? To make Kate look like a hero instead of a criminal? 'Cause there were way more than 8 survivors, eh? Is it a cover story for whatever (whomever) they left behind, or do we think they really that their memory of the whole event is now replaced with this 8 people / 6 people with Kate being the hero thing?

I think they're all just lying. Don't know why - but I suppose that they left stuff on the island (eg, people, bodies, crime scense, etc) that they don't want people to know they left.

On a related note to the fog smokey monster thingie, what was that gray powder line that Locke found where he expected the cabin to be? Smoke monster ashes?

That's right... thanks. Charlie's the Brit. but the aussies are all great-great-great grandkids of British felons & whatnot, so same thing....

When Kate went to pick up Aaron at the end, he said something like "mum" or "mummy" which kinda tipped me off that he was Aaron since Claire had that whole Brit thing going.

I was expecting Claire to be one of the Oceanic 6 myself. When Charlie "appeared" to Hurley at the funny farm, he told Hurley that it was his job to "take care of them" or something like that. I figured that the "them" was Claire and the baby, so they must be around somewhere. Not sure how that would work since Claire's obviously not there, but I think the Charlie / Hurley thing has something to do with Aaron.

And it's clear that Miles needs the $3.2M to but a record collection on eBay... coincidence? I think not.

Dunno about that one. Is karma a German word, btw? That complicates it even more...

And my vote for Einstein was largely due to the mustache. And the hair.
