Thats a great blog. But I would like to point out to Earl that he's wrong about Harry killing Voldemort. It was actually Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes, who was hiding in the shadows while Harry and Ron were in the abandoned girls bathroom while getting dating advice from Moaning Myrtle

I just think it would be cool if VW sponsored a Wilco show at Taste this year. I'll take Wilco with a side of pickle on a stick and a BBQ turkey leg please

Sure there is a difference. But I dont think its as big as some might make it out to be. A band puts a logo on a product in order to advertise itself. Same thing as selling the rights to a song. And if someone in the band believed that it was going to be used to sell something objectionable (without getting into the whole Nazi, WWII Hitler thing) I'm pretty sure the rights would not have been released

This is, and has been my point all along Thank You

yeah - but thats nonsense, in that the whole point of a band in 2007 is to sell records/concerts/t-shirts/etc.etc. Sure, the artist enjoys his/her work - but do you really think that Wilco would exist if it made no money, if it was a bunch of guys in a garage fiddling around?

the whole thread oy

Not really. They way I see it, and I'm not saying I'm right and everyone else is wrong, is that the VW ad and the anger surrounding it is the same as when a band becomes a mainstream act. Being from Chicago (the greatest city in the world), I may be at a disadvantage when it comes to Wilco though, in that there is a radio presence for Wilco at 'XRT - although not as large as the Talking Heads... I've always seen Wilco, and to a lesser extent UT as the next big thing. I've been waiting basically since Anodyne for them to take off. So a TV ad is just more proof to me that Wilco is the ne

I've asked before, and still have not recieved a solid answer. Why is it that some fans become upset when thier favorite band becomes popular? I mean really, is it that you just cant stand the fact that you might like something mainstream? You were a big fan of Boy, but once those bastardos sold out and released Rattle and Hum fergeit it. Now every 15 year old kid with a bad case of acne is a U2 Fan. Not you though, you've moved on and "found" Husker Du. I didnt get it then, and I dont get it now

You know.... You would think that the "special collection" would have been available to the folks who pre-ordered off of the bands website - even if it was through Music Today or Music Now or whatever the hell it is..

I've never pre-ordered an album before. But this time I figgured what the hell, especially with the drawing and all. Never again- I still dont have the album, and what makes it worse, is that I've been in at least 10 stores since last tuesday that stock it.

But is it a bad thing when a band becomes more popular? Why does it seem that some fans bemoan the fact their favorite band is no longer seen in a 150 person bar because they can now fill a much larger arena? I don't quite understand this "logic".

WOW my sentiments (almost, I was a UT fan) exactly

PHC is a fine show. I listen every week, and this week, all the more reason. As for the whole "Dad-Rock" thing... What's wrong with it? Not everything needs to remain cutting edge all the time. There is something to be said for comfort
