Hi my name is Lee

Ridley Scott, of BladeRunner and Alien fame, is in preproduction to make Blood Meridian. I can't wait! "No Country For Old Men" is what action movies should be. It's what horror movies should be. I have never gotten scared by any movie before, this one did it though. I knew what was going to happen the entire time, yet the Cohen brothers were still able to keep me on the edge of my seat. I'm definitely going to see it again soon.

No country for old men Superbad ...I think that's all.

Thomas Pynchon's - Crying of Lot 49: Just got around to reading it this year, and this is what I tell everyone - This is the novel that reminded me why I love to read in the first place. Maas's musings over the Jacobean Revenge Play was probably the funniest "thing" that I have ever read/heard/seen. Some of his references are joyously familiar to anyone who has any knowledge of literary history while other references are obscure enough to prompt further readings/appreciation. So much fun. Cormac McCarthy's - The Road: Certainly not one of McCarthy's best, yet it still stands out as one of th

This made me laugh out loud.

"F is for Fake," no?

ah, good idea.

would anyone be able to yousendit.com the boot to me? my campus blocks most p2p downloading sites/progs.

That day was probably one of the best days of my life. Wilco came to my campus, it was amazing. I ended up camping out 4 hours before the show in front of the Wilco van (anyone see me?), and I got to hang out a bit with all of the guys. They were all the coolest guys, really down to earth and didn't mind talking to fans at all. I was star struck to say the least...I'm going to shut up before I gush any more. Best Jeffism of the night: "Why are you guys sitting down, did you have a hard day? Oh wait...you're pregnant."

had to finish it about a week ago, have to say it's one of favorite books as of now, at least. every page was amazing. i loved it.

only kinda.

The mighty continents divided For a second time in all history They found themselves just floating Free from all responsibility Without the weight of being whole Some fruits evolved all on their own But if you want something back All the things that got cracked When I felt like you lied to me And all the million mistakes And the kicks in the face But i don't want you to die in me So when you say what you want That you need what you got Don't forget to be kind to me Now here's an apple with a tougher skin While you've got your pretty scales and fins you say See all the things that i can do So

When I started dating my girlfriend, it was pretty clear that if she didn't get my Wilco addiction, the relationship wouldn't last long. The song that got her into Wilco was "Remember the Mountain Bed," and while it isn't an authentic Tweedy song, it does rank in the top 10 of my favorite songs.

this is amazing, thanks for sharing.

I don't know how popular they are, not a lot of people I know are really into them. But if I had to pick only 5 albums that best describe me in the artists emotional scope, Archers of Loaf's Vee Vee would be one of them.

I didn't know where to put this thread, hope this works. I'm really interested to hear what the Wilco community has to say about this. Ok, so here's the deal. I want to start off with Wilco. Consider everyone's side projects within the band, up and down Wilco's history with all of their members included. So, one could venture taking Jeff Tweedy and heading towards Uncle Tupelo... Now, out of Uncle Tupelo, go one more degree of seperation...Jay Ferrar and Son Volt. You guys get the idea. Bracketing off music in this way, which one of these albums do you guys like the most? Wilco sho

I voted for AGIB. It's probably not the best but it's the single album that speaks most intimately and directly to my soul, however lame that sounds. Some are teeth comes in a close second, with YHF even closer after that.

Wilco, October 19th, AJ Palumbo Center. I can't wait, I nearly flipped a car when this date was announced (I go to college at Duquesne University) Is anyone coming? If so are you taping? If not, what are the general do's and don'ts for taping at a Wilco show? Will I have to be covert? Am I risking my taping material?

Great review, I loved reading it. I wish my dad was that awesome to head to a few shows with me, even at my age. It's great to see the band playing some older stuff. The last time I saw Wilco live, they played one song from Summerteeth, and absolutely nothing from the previous albums. I think the term "Handshake Drugs" refers to a drug that is transferred in a relatively public place, where the buyer outstretches his/her hand with the concealed payment within their palm. Likewise, the dealer cups the drugs in his palm, so the deal looks like, to a passerby, an informal greeting between t

this is one of my reading lists for this semester. has anyone read any of these? are they any good?

I don't know if you are into the Arcade Fire at all, but this is amazing *warning, if anyone hasn't seen the ending to "Once Upon a Time in the West" don't follow the link.

Since I bought my first album, I have always wanted to play guitar but have never had the chance to learn because of monetary reasons. This year, things have changed; my roomate is a music education major and has a dozen or so guitars propped up all over our room. He has been generous enough to let me learn on one of them. Which brings about my question, what songs should I start out with? My roomate is into Metallica and Incubus and the like, and I can't say I'm a fan. Are there any Wilco/Tupelo/Loose Fur songs that could show my hands around a guitar to get familiar with playing?

His bitter tone is so much at times that it made me laugh when I was reading it. Great read by any standards.
