the only thing I want to happen is a show in The Pines...

I never said The Beach Boys were the best, but I think everyone during that time period just adopted a defeatist attitude toward The Beatles instead of trying to claim the same ground as them. Aren't the bands that really lasting from that time period the ones who didn't bend over for The Beatles? The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, The Rollng Stones...All of them acknowledged The Beatles as being great but never stopped trying to stay in step with them. There were probably a bunch of just as talented bands, they just let The Beatles push them over. but don't get me wrong, there are a zillion other

what about The Beach Boys? Ionno, I always thought that the Beach Boys impact is still being felt whereas a Beatles reference doesn't hold up to time. Were the Beatles in actuality the best band, though? I always thought it was because Brian Wilson went crazy, Bob Dylan attempted suicide, and Jimi Hendrix was virtuoso. The Rolling Stones were more kitschy than anything for that time period, I thought. Everyone else just said "zomg The Beatles are pretty much the best ever" instead of trying to stand up for themselves like The Beach Boys.

I'd rather it not be gospel...I'd feel too dissatisfied that somone who sang the lyrics to Wordless Chorus submitted himself to being lopped into a subculture.

I might have been off on this one, honestly. But if I hypothetically retaliated to your clip of Orson Welles drunk with a clip of him being in a commerical with Kermit the Frog, could we hypothetically call it even?

Rembrandt is a product of a different time (when youth is not ascribed the ideas it is now); Orson Welles never made a movie worth virtually anything ever again, Picasso's (he, too, is of a different time) Blue Period is significant but nowhere near as dauntingly revolutionizing as his work in his 40's and 50's, Hemingway needed an incredible editor to give his books anything of a coherent narrative. Mozart was a genius, but far surpassing the extent of any "genius" since then. We're talking somone who with ease could carry numerous numerous melodies in his head before even putting his pen t

yeah, but at the same time, I can't imagine Dylan ever doing that with the intent of revising songwriting states and revolutionizing. From all I've read of him, his interviews (an enitre book composed of them) and seen of him, he's never really shown he ever knew what he was doing. A good deal of his material in the mid sixties just looks like the product of a good writer with an inflated ego, not somone who was changing songwriting. He was in his early 20's when he made those albums, and anyone whose ever followed art knows that the only place where 20 year olds can be geniuses is in popu

I saw this tonight. Now, I'm all for the ambition proposed by the film, but, it was really unremarkable a lot of the time or plain terrible in some of the parts. Richard Gere served no purpose and never had to be included at all...His scenes were the most boring drawn out parts. The kid, "Woody" could have also been consolidated into the first actual Dylan character, he really served no purpose too. It seemed to me like Haynes was trying to get a kick out of the whole thing by having a little black kid play Dylan, as if somehow that embodied who he was at the time. Cate Blanchett's parts w

if you want to just pick up and play, this version here is generally accurate: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.ulti...b&id=135488

I am really hoping for a Pines show in the summer as well as some college shows as they mentioned in the letter. I'm in Providence, RI, now and that means that like 4 other colleges are at least within a half hour, and then if Boston is played that's like 20+ colleges within an hour. I'm really hoping though for The Pines, since they've played there 2 years in a row and there isn't a better venue.

I'm sorry, but I can't see anything but "Glory Hole Mountain" whenever I see that title..

thank you...I don't get what people like about this guy. I hate to use the word "fake" to describe a musician, but that's the best way I can describe Oberst and his approach to his writing...if anyone tries too hard to be a serious poet bound on changing the world with his endless insight and suffering, it's Conor Oberst. His music is either too full of poor personal writing or trying to fit into some sort of country aesthetic.

what I notice is that these all seem similiar, if not the same versions of the versions "played" in IATtBYH... a guitarless Poor Places, an Ashes that starts with the drone. "The Good Part" is probably the weirdest Wilco song I've heard though. I also notice the songs polarize more...It seems like there was two potential sides of YHF: a weird, noise infected version and an acousticy rock-y version that has a more collaged approach...like Magizine or The Good Part or Corduoroy...

I'm aware Nels is incredible and extremely more versed in different ways, but in the bounds of Wilco, I find Jeff's playing only shy of being equal to Nels. Generally anyone will agree Nels is technically a better player, but Jeff's playing has more of an aesthetic feel and I find it just as pleasing as his partner's.

I find Nels' addition a funny role..it's almost like overkill. Jeff definitely has his own style and as he's shown he can definitely play on a level near, if not on the same level as Nels. I find it very interesting how extremely malleable their roles are, in the sense that they have two lead guitarists but they can switch it up without thinking, really. edit: also, I think Pat's windmills and exagerated stage show is just really an act or tongue in cheek.

how do these work? the extension after the .zip is like .001 and my computer can't recognize them. If I try and change them it says the file doesn't work.

oh, that's lame. so, then, I'm more intrigued about the "funkier" I'm the Man Who Loves You. Is it a vast difference?

wait, so what's the difference between the ACL live clips on YouTube previously and the clips of the PBS ACL being introduced now?

corrected.

don't forget Beck

am I the only one who thinks Jeff looks very uninterested? Just watching I'm the Man Who Loves you..it's one of the worst versions in a long time, personally. edit: my god, Nels Cline in I Got You... edit2: but really, is Jeff hammered or something?

I'm sorry, inbetween the first guys avatar with the crazy eyes and yours with the crazy eyes I really can't take either of you seriously.
