I haven't listened to him in a few years but I remember liking quite a few songs from previous records. I will have to check it out.

That is fantastic Kalle. Very cool to be on a bill with the Cowboy Junkies. Thanks for the links, I will definitely check out your music.

Have these 2 going in a loop today:

I love that show. Looking forward to season 2 this Sunday .

Just picked up the reissue of this one on the weekend.

I wasn't directing that at you Solace. It wasn't a reaction to any one comment in particular, but rather a bunch I've read. Stop-gap was my word for the vibe I got reading some comments on various sites. Oh yeah, it's definitely an ADD record. I've said the same thing myself. I think a lot of people will have a hard time with this just because it breaks from what their ears are used to hearing. We've become accustom to hearing songs presented in a certain manner, and this freely breaks from that convention many times throughout the record. I think people that like more conventional rock/

I keep reading how people regard this as stop-gap until a "proper" release is issued. The idea that this isn't a proper release eludes me. Are only records with conventional song cycles considered a proper release? That seems like a very narrow definition to me. This is an unconventional, sprawling, messy, raucous, and wildly entertaining ride, sounds like a proper record to me. I'd rather listen to an artist like this, who follows their muse, and puts out challenging music, than some safe and boring song by numbers artist. I think it's a pretty cool artistic statement that Paul has made h

I probably listen to Anodyne the most.

It's now available (at least for all you U.S. residents): http://www.amazon.com/49-00/dp/B001CZCBEA/ref=dm_ap_alb1

Paul Westerberg - 49:00 First listen. Fans of Mono and Folker will like this one.

Some nice parts and arrangements there. I get a 70s vibe from some of the songs which I like. I like the slide guitar parts on the 2nd song, nice George Harrison sound on it. I like "Dropping My Plans" but I must admit it reminds me a lot of Tweedy's acoustic version of "Spiders (kidsmoke)," especially the vocal melody. The chorus reminds me of the pre-chorus of "Between Love and Like" by Paul Westerberg too. It might just be me though.

Yeah man, I dug the song and the atmosphere of the whole thing. Good production, and nice instrumentation choices too. I look forward to hearing more.

Over a grand? You obviously had some delusions that you were sitting on a real find, and that one of us Wilco fans would jump all over this with 4 figure offers. Reality check: Anyone here could probably get Glenn to sign a drumstick for them after a show if they really wanted it badly enough. The stick is a great memento for a fan but on a monetary level it can't be worth all that much. If it was from say Keith Moon it might be a different story.

I agree about Kutna Hora. I don't think my girlfriend was as enthusiastic though. I once had a 7 hour layover in Amsterdam with a friend that hadn't been there before. We put our backpacks in a locker at the airport and took the train into town. I took her to the Rijksmseum, the Van Gogh Museum, some park by the Van Gogh were we rested for about 40 minutes, then the Anne Frank House and a cafe for a beer--not a smoke . We did it all by foot so you definitely can see a lot in a short period of time. I believe we also went through the red light district.

Time for some Prine.

The new one is quite good and has had many spins over the past month. Definitely in my top 10 of the year so far.

Taking a break from the new one.

Walk along the river Seine and check out the sites along the way Sainte-Chapelle - (the stained glass is beautiful here) Musee de l'Orangerie - (if you like Monet this is a great place to check out) Musse d'Orsay & the Louvre (pretty obvious, but have to be mentioned) Panth

I bought all the 1st round Mats reissues and will definitely be getting all these too. Also excited about new Westerberg songs, though at $0.49 I'm afraid it's only going to be MP3 for the time being . I guess I'll have to hope for a proper CD down the road.

I'm hoping it's Gore Vidal personally. Speaking of Steven Page, I used to date a girl that was friends with him and Ed Robertson. I never got to meet them, but they were sitting a few seats away from me at a Prince concert once.

I've been listening to this a lot lately.
