  3. Thanks for the ideas, eveyone. I'm going ahead with the project although people seem to have some reservations about whether BT is "meta-music". As jimjiminy says, it definitely contains elements of metafiction and I think I have a sort of roguh idea for a thesis. Something along the lines of "As a piece of meta-music, Being There challenges the line separating rock star from fan, as well as the line separating innovation from infleunce. Ultimately, these ostensibly opposite entities are dependent on each other."
  4. I was thinking about The Stage Names too. I'm less familiar with the lyrics and not sure I get al the references though.
  5. So im in an English class called Metafiction that focuses on fiction that's "aware" that it's fiction. Examples of this include "The Princess Bride", "Six Characters in search of an Author", "Scream", "Slaughterhouse Five", "Atonement"; these are all pieces of fiction that comment on themselves in some way. Often they contain overt references to other works of fiction ("Scream" constantly references other horror movies), the author makes appearances in his/her own novel, and they constantly remind you that you are reading a book or watching a film. As an assignment for the class, I have to
  6. henneman's guitar playing on this album is phenomenal. Pure country rock bliss. This is possibly my favorite album for playing along with on guitar. also perfect driving music.
  7. thanks for posting these. I must say though, that no wilco version of GUN can ever live up to the UT version.
  8. yeah, whether or not hes purposefully referencing the book it's definitely expressing the same theme

  10. great book. I vaguely remember this line, but i forget the context. When do they say it?
  11. Go to Ghiradelli Square! And the Haight.
  12. Too Far Apart and Shot in the Arm rocked so hard that night.
  13. I think the boys would rather be put in the rock category than the alt rock category, because they've talked about how they find describing their muisc as being "alternative" to be problematic. Even though I despise the grammys I can't help but feel happy that they got nominated.
  14. That's the only article I've ever read that truly gets to the core of what makes Wilco so great.
  15. they also chose KT as one of the 25 best live albums ever. http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery.../photo/8/large/ RS might have some issues but at least they give Wilco their dues.
  16. And how the hell are the Paul McCartney and Shins albums on there?
  17. Mirror image, see no damage See no evil at all Kewpie dolls and urine stalls Will be laughed at The way you're laughed at now

  21. I've gotta pick mine too, i think ill go with "our love is all of God's money". that line changed my life
  22. The Shins suck. If Im talking to a girl about music and she starts talking about how much she loves the shins, I know well never work
  23. I played Romeo my sophomore year and my director had me come up with some songs that I felt represented my character. I chose Heavy Metal Drummer, which beautifully captures the essence of being young and in love. I also think On and On and On, and Exit Music by Radiohead are fitting
