hugs & vibes to you, Jen!

This is worse than Seinfeld's episode of The Contest - or - Wilco (the contest)

I swear I was just checking to see if the stream worked. I really wasn't going to listen! OK, so since I had my headphones on anyway, I listened to Wilco The Song, because let's face it, it's not even a new song any more! (massive rationalization alert!) And then before I could stop the stream, the first few notes of Deeper Down came on, and I was like a deer caught in headlights! And it was the ONE song I really wanted to hear since Jeff debuted it solo at our living room show. But I stopped after that. I just have to save something for later. I think.

so mikey, are you liking this or what?

hope it's been a happy one! Good idea to start that blog while you are still young I'll check in now and then for your countdown to 40!

Happy book release day!

Tamala, enjoy your birthday! Such a nice day today, too!

I like both bands, but it would not be hard for me to choose Wilco live over The Decemberists live. But Elvis Costello solo? Crap. That doesn't happen all the time. That one I'd probably have to pick EC just because there are always more opportunities to see Wilco perform.

Me neither.

OOOH! Two birthdays! Hope you both had a fab weekend with your friends & family!

OK, it's time for a peaceful segue. No more of this (Thank you.) And there are baby camels!!!

Wait - I thought we learned today it was a Bactrian camel?

I love the cover. It's funny. It reminds me of visiting Amsterdam and being in a crowded pub where there was a cat sitting on a barstool eating dinner (a plate of fish!), like no big deal. I like animals at parties too. Oh, that would ruin it for me. I'm so sorry PEB. But I have problems with negative associations that aren't anywhere near as realistic as yours. Like I can't even read speed racer's parody lyrics because they will stick in my mind over the real lyrics and ruin Wilco for me. (I know, stupid) And I completely cover my ears and make loud noises when the ice cream tr

That is pretty neat!

That's why bands hire managers like Clell Tickle.

Have a drink, gogo!

I thought you'd never see that post. Priceless!

You beat me to the nitpickin. NE Indiana has a large Amish population, and one day while driving down a city street, we pass by an Amish man walking on the sidewalk, and my 6-year-old nephew with a lisp says: "Wook Wook! It's Abwaham Winkin!" We tease him about that still.
