  1. Not me, but according to their FB page, they raised $130,000 ! That's pretty awesome. https://www.facebook.com/826CHI
  2. Doh! Obviously song titles are not my forte, don't even try to get me to list lyrics from memory! Hey, maybe it IS all related to some pretty grand "misspent" youth
  3. Yes! And I can never get enough of "I've Been Had" ... plus we never really get enough of John's "It's Just That Simple" so this was really a fun short set Kudos to Wilco for helping KEXP on their fundraising. Donating!
  4. I watched this from home on headphones, and I was blown away. Best $20 bucks on "live" music I've spent in a long time. It was flawless from the standpoint of live webcasting without any glitches, kudos on that! I've seen MMJ live many times, but I really hope they turn this show into a live DVD, because I just can NEVER get enough of Carl rocking out like that!
  5. New ticketing agency for Wilco http://wilcoworld.net/news/ New pre-sale ticketing partner, CrowdSurgeIn our continuing efforts to find the most effective and simple way for you to obtain tickets via our pre-sales, we’re making a change. From today forward all pre-sales will be facilitated be by our new partners — a company called CrowdSurge (a part of Songkick). Which means pre-sales will no longer be run by Front Gate Tickets. Trust us when we say that for reasons far too boring to go into here, this makes sense for us moving forward. If you already have a Wilco account on Front Gate Ti
  6. Looks like Wilco has a new ticketing partner, CrowdSurge. Farewell FrontGate. More info at http://wilcoworld.net/news/
  7. Can't wait to download this! What a perfect day it will be Thanks Wilco !!!!! ❤️
  8. I'm from Indiana and decided to forego this show due to bad date for me, but even if I had a ticket, I'd be proud to miss it to teach these asshole politicians the lesson they can't seem to learn on their own, unless they get hit with financial loss. They need to be humiliated. I'm so ashamed of the reputation my state is receiving, but it is well earned. So bravo to Wilco for this decision. I just love them so much for doing the right thing even though it costs Wilco money to cancel. Right on! PS - I also couldn't get a decent seat for the show! Lol. Too popular these days!
  9. Preordered! Tickets to show purchased! Love this. http://music.sufjan.com/album/carrie-lowell Sufjan Stevens, "Should Have Known Better" (Official Audio) Sufjan Stevens, "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross" (Official Audio)
  10. Good grief, THEY ARE DOING A BENEFIT! Why is this being dissected at all? Buy a ticket if you want to go. Honestly. I'm so happy it's happening and will be attending. This is the best news I've heard in ages, and it's pretty close to the best Tweedy solo event ever.
  11. Hey - Does anyone seriously care if a new thread is started every month? With only 3 or 4 pages a month, it seems sort of unnecessary IMO. Just think - if you're trying to find an older post, it will be RIGHT IN HERE! Date of post included automatically! Pinned and stickied for your posting pleasure! And if it gets too long we can start a new one! Just send me a PM and I'll do it. I get an email msg that tells me someone sent me a PM, so I'll be prompt. Just so you know, posting demands in this thread can go unread for ... hmmm, easily 3 weeks, especially if I'm super busy with RL
  12. I was watching from home and it sounded like she wanted Jeff to sing "The Dreidel Song."
  13. I hope they resurface in some configuration and bring us more awesome music. Never got to see them!
  14. Glad you could get past his impetuous past and not miss out on some great music. I'm particularly sorry (selfishly, yes) that you didn't get the photo pass, as your photos are always excellent. I'm hoping to catch him at the Chicago show in October.
  15. Oh my - you really have quite a bounty here! Wish I could just get it together for some herbs!
  16. My opinion: I think you are. I don't get that tone at all. John sounds to me like a man proud of his own band and his own songs and vision. And serious about it. and Maybe it's the often-used term "side project" by interviewers and writers that they object to, as if the term might have some connotation of "less important" or lacking in dedication or something like that. Jeff has said that Wilco as a band can withstand personnel changes, "but not John." So there's that. IMO, John has the best of all possible gigs as a musician -- he's got a solid job with Wilco, as do a
  17. Thanks Crow - good advice for both men and women with your symptoms. Glad to hear you're feeling so much better, too!
  18. Since this thread started in 2009, I believe Ear-XTacy closed, and so did Lynn's Paradise Cafe. Two of my go-to spots in Louisville! However - this most fabulous coffee shop is still alive: Highland Coffee on Bardstown Rd. "Hair-Raser" dark roast is awesome.
  19. Weird ... and awesome! Love it! I want more episodes!!!
