Handshake Drugs is the best 3-chord rocker since Sweet Jane.

Just received a recent edition of Paste Magazine and was thrilled to see a letter to the editor regarding the recent SBS review by Geoffrey Himes:

"Shame on Geoffrey Himes for his review of the latest Wilco release. His attempt to recast the groundbreaking Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as "self-indulgently obscurantist" with "little...substance" is as misguided as it is unfounded. Firstly, I'll gladly refund him the price of the album if he can "heap randon sound effects on...tracks" with a 10th of the ingenuity of "Ashes of American flags" or "I am Trying to Break your Heart." Secondly, his assertion that lyrics "are empty of meaning" if they don't reflect "the way human beings actually talk" is patently absurd. When was the last time you heard someone mention "motorcycle black madonna two-wheeled gypsy queen" in passing conversation? Or is the #1 Greatest songwriter of all time according to this magazine exempt from this rule? If you can't appreciate or find meaning in Wilco's Masterpiece, you don't deserve to be on the staff of this fine publication."

Thank you Max!

...made me realize that there was life after O.K. Computer.

"Ted, just admit it" Jane's Addiction

The Lonely 1

That would be something. The Bamboo Room is Lake Worth's best possession. Maybe someday.

"Or consider the Big Bird pabulum of "What Light," whose everyone-is-special ethos represents the lack of artistic ambition that bedevils the album: "If you feel like singing a song/ And you want other people to sing along/ Just sing what you feel/ Don't let anyone say it's wrong."

I think that is Mr. Tweedy's point. "Don't let anyone say it's wrong."

Here is my theory. I believe it's spelled with a K out of respect to REM'S "Camera" on Murmer.

06 28 03 also has a good but abruptly ended "Old Spiders", my favorite IAIL ever, and the killer PP > R > IATTBYH

 

re the Chance show as long as you NOT the person screaming PAAASEEENGEER SIDE I am ok with your inability to hold a tune

I love how IATTBYH starts coming on at the end of Reservations, with all the feedback and static - awesome.

Penns Landing 6.28.2003 Sonic Youth opened, and O'Rourke with the Band for an awesome version of Laminated Cat. Also, an intersting version of "Muzzle of Bees."

I thought the song was actually about recovery.

I'd love to see another show at the Carefree Theatre. When they played there in 2002 it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I think the Carefree is closed/closing. The Pompano Beach Ampitheater would be nice. I missed the Carefree shows, I did see Morphine there - a great place to see a band.

Yeah! Florida! Come back here again, boys!

It's been a long time, I think Pompano Beach, since they played down here (not counting Langerado). We are due...

Well, one way to celebrate I guess is to try and show our love for Being There in as many ways as possible via this forum... so now that we've placed it among London Calling, The Wall, Physical Graffiti & Melon Collie and the Inifinte Sadness ...what I would like to know is...

 

What's your favorite line/moment on Being There?

 

My vote -

 

"Why...would you...wanna live...in this world?" then an awesome banjo/piano duet

I liked the Latrobe show but have been to better. There is this aura of uncomfortability that inevitably arises when there is a loud drunk guy screaming in between songs. There is this sort of walking on egg shells feeling when you hear some dude screaming. Don't get me wrong, I hate it - but I found myself waiting for Jeff to confront the dude instead of enjoying the show.
