  1. I'm glad I'm not the only that thought this.
  2. Apparently for those that really want to get the advantage on a presale, Live Nation, a holder of most music venues, now has a special VIP program they are promoting. For a mere $1500 you can become a part of VIP Nation and claim in presale tickets to any/all concerts of your choosing at Live Nation venues. (this cost does not include the price of actual concert tickets from what I can tell, don't quote me on that though.)
  3. could be a good excuse to sample the local roast. cup of joes was quite nice back in the day when i was in college, the one on hillsboro street not the one in the strip mall on avent ferry.
  4. $4.05 for 87 here in the District. My MINI did me proud this weekend and capped out at 42mpg on my weekend roadtrip! GO MINI! That's better than a hybrid I think. and way cuter!
  5. He did this one live when I saw him at VA Beach, probably in '96 or '98 (pre-time out of mind). quite fun to hear live, my favorite on that album. except he didn't get have the lyrics right live.
  6. Dwell is giving wilco some more Love! In the latest issue, they published a letter to the editor about the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot cover, from Lawrence Azerrad, the graphic designer for the album. Page 45. ----- "As the graphic designer and art director who worked with Wilco on creating the artwork for their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, I was happy to see the cover live on in the Bertrand Goldberg article ("Archive," December/January 2008). The writer, Aaron Britt, muses that Goldberg would be pleased with the use of the Marina City towers on the album cover. Well, while I was working with the
  7. maybe bob's just getting old? (age wise, not old as in, you tire of his music and catalogue it away on the shelf to collect dust)
  8. yup! you can guess what my user name was, . i scored prizes twice actually. i can't remember what the second time around was for though. i tried to find it a while back because i was in a conversation about the exact Dylan shows i'd been to and had a moment where i thought i'd forgotten one. i couldn't find the pool anymore though. guess it has gone to the wayside. it looked like expecting rain had really shifted from what it once was. after i saw Bob at the 9:30 club, my loyal devotion started slacking a bit. or maybe it was after i saw him in the parking lot of a science museum, again, my co
  9. isn't Handy Dandy the best?!!!?? I won a prize on the Dylan Fantasy pool once for being the only person to have picked Handy Dandy to be played (he didn't play it, but I got the prize anyway).
  10. which show are you going to? bigshoulders and i scored tickets for Knoxville! not 5th row though...so jealous!
  11. I LIKE IT! such a good point Matt! he did masked and anonymous under the Jack Frost pseudonym as well. For me there was definitely a musical difference in the Dylan show I saw in 1996 and the next one I saw in 1998 and the 1998 musical stylings and format have carried through for the most part to the show I saw last summer. Oh that 1996 show was something else! anyone remember that Victoria's Secret tv commercial? when that came out one of my colleagues sent me a video of dylan's press conference in the 60s when he said he would only sell out for ladies' underwear (to paraphrase). and yeah
  12. Thanks for posting that Analogman! I hadn't read that article, but have read others and emailed Nissan with my string of complaints as it was torture and bad judgement on a lot of people's parts for that show. I am not sure how true that rumor about an offer of tickets to the NJ show or another show at Nissan is though. I received no response from my email and have found no source anywhere for a contact to make good on the NJ show, etc. Which is a bit of a bogus peace offering being that the show is in NJ in the middle of the week (and right after V-fest featuring Wilco!). It's been interes
  13. somewhere, and i can't quote any sources here, this is all based on vague memory, i recall bob referring to Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Modern Times as his trilogy, I believe it was when Modern Times came out. And although Jack Frost didn't produce Time Out of Mind, there are tracks on Love and Theft that are actually outtakes from Time out of Mind (Mississippi comes to mind, damn, can't remember the song names right now). following Dylan's tour circuit as well, his musical stylings to songs not on those albums shifted to be more based in the same genre as those albums after the rele
  14. I don't think this has been posted anywhere else. Google is having a doodle drawing contest for K-12 students. You can vote for your favorites here: http://www.google.com/doodle4google/index.html there are some pretty good ones and then there are a lot the look very similar or have the same theme.
  15. the nissan (DC) show was quite the disaster. apparently roads were closed and people were denied entry into the parking lots. it was a far bigger mess than i had even realized (i made it through the road a mere 10 minutes prior to it being shut down). the band is now encouraging folks that went to the Nissan Pavilion show to email the venue. I still don't get why they booked a show at a venue that far out in the middle of nowhere. But then again, they didn't expect 7" of rain to fall in one night either. I'm so glad your show didn't get washed out! I'm jealous!
  16. i love my ipod! to the point that i panic if the battery goes dead sooner than i think it should. i had gotten so used to letting it drive on album shuffle, when i got my new car and the car stereo didn't recognize album shuffle, my whole ipod world went into a tailspin. i solved that problem by making playlists and ehmmm, ummmm, getting a nano to compliment my 30gb so i don't have to navigate through so much music through the car stereo interface (and the nano matches my car, dork i know). i did have to take all of my wilco shows off of the nano. although i am tempted to make the nano all wil
  17. thanks for posting this. i'm rather psyched to listen to the DC show to actually spark my memory since i was rather focused on the water rushing through my shoes and pounding down around me during the whos. talk about downpours. rivers of water flowing everywhere during the show. it was more insane than wilco's chastain park show in atlanta in the rain.
  18. if you move to DC, WILCO is actually available. it's so worth it! (or simply getting W1LCO where you live).
  19. happy happy birthday to you!!! see in you in August!!
  20. would the bite make the person an incredible song writer and add a hint of cowboy themery to all of their music.
