So Long

I've had better luck when I don't listen to the artist that I go to see. For instance, didn't listen to Elvis Costello, met him after the show Didn't listen to Wilco, got front row seats the day of. Listened to Steely Dan, got rained on and had a Michael McDonald tune in my head for a week.

Pump it Up- Elvis Costello "needle"

My Humps.

I can't really wrap my head around this whole thing... it's unbelievable. So sad. Although I'm not very religious, I'll pray tonight for the victims and their familes.

I'd go with The Essential Leonard Cohen, The Essential Bruce Springsteen, and The Very Best of Elvis Costello.

Peace, Love, and Understanding- Elvis Costello Take it Easy (Hell Freezes Over version)- The Eagles Tangled Up In Blue- Bob Dylan Your Smiling Face- James Taylor Powderfinger- Neil Young Johnny Strikes Up The Band- Warren Zevon Get Back- The Beatles Great Day- Paul McCartney Kid Charlamegne- Steely Dan Devils and Dust- Bruce Springsteen Three Views of a Secret- Jaco Pastorius So What- Miles Davis I Am Trying to Break Your Heart- Wilco Not Sport, Martial Art- Jim O'Rourke well, that completes the journey thus far.

00s: Wilco: YHF Wilco: SBS 90s: Pavement: Terror Twilight Radiohead: OK Computer 80s: Elvis Costello: Blood and Chocolate Bruce Springsteen: Nebraska 70s: Neil Young: Tonight's The Night Steely Dan: Aja 60s: Beatles: Abbey Road Beatles: Sgt. Peppers.

aww...we'll always have Via chicago...

it's his own thing. Autumn Defense is good, but Jeff Tweedy kind of runs the Wilco show...

and then the window washer screamed, that's MY donut!

I know how you feel...in a quite selfish way, I don't want them to become mainstream popular either....

Is it just me, or does Wilco seem to be gaining a lot of popularity nowadays...seriously.

great article.

wow, I can't believe it sold out so quickly!

Me and my pals all got tickets!

sounds awesome, can't wait for the tour.

First album: The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions...my dad got me hooked when I was 5. First concert: James Taylor, 1998.

Pines last summer was the best Wilco show I've ever seen. During the day the whole park is beautiful, and there's plenty of activities to do (but I prefer sitting at the front of the line lol). But yes, this show shall be amazing.

don't worry about Pines, it's General Admission. No need for presale...

I got section 2, row Y, Boston. Oh well.

25th row Boston this presale pissed me off...

you're not LISTENING to the record...

They are zombies! They are neighbors! They have come back from the dead! AHHH!- Sufjan Stevens

I just bought 'Down with Wilco', and my first thought, within thirty seconds was "wow, this guy sounds just like John Lennon..." anybody else hear it?

two questions: A) Is that John on vocals? and WHY?!
