If you chopped the late Greats quote in half it would be brilliant, ending with "The best laugh never leaves your lungs" My suggestion would be "I have no idea how this happened, all of my plans have been overthrown"

I was just listining to the New Orleans gig thanks to the kind soul who uploaded it and something struck me. Just after he stops singing and before the whistling bit, the first few notes of the guitar are eerily similar to California stars, so much in fact that I though they had segwayed into it, alas they hadn't. I think it'd fit very well into an encore with a instant shock factor with it. They do tend to play California stars as a last song so I think it'd be a great way to introduce it. Thoughts?

If that was the case Wilco wouldn't be able to tell due to legal reasons I assume

It would make it more difficult for people to post torrents of shows a month later. I think if someone is doing a service to the other members then they shouldn't have to go searching to threads to post an audio link. In other words, I think a future age should stay

Things I think are wrong with this country
Bubs101 replied to bjorn_skurj's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
I'd hardly call 6 years ago recent and personally speaking I think it is insanely stupid. Britain has a much worse problem with such an integrated Islamic population and they still manage everything alright, but in America there are so comparitively few arabs and muslims(probably due in no small part to racism) and no terrorist attack in years, despite giving them reason to attack with ridiculous prison sentences over non-Americans. 4 British men arrested for 2 years in Afghanistan? How is that America's buisiness? Harsh measures like that are insanely stupid -

Luckily I'm Irish and everyone loves us. Jeff loved us enough not to cancel his gigs here, yet In fairness to them, with the exception of France, where Brits tend to try and piss off the locals, they are a little better -
If they said they aren't touring much it's probably increase the chances of them returning and giving the fans what they want as they'd have more time

An Irishman's opinion of what's wrong with America in order. Number 1: American Extremists- There is nothing more annoying than an American who believes in something utterly proposterous like Evangelicals and the such. Personally, I'd much rather run into an Islam extremist than an Evangelical one. Number 2:American tourists- American's make very bad tourists. They talk too loud, don't speak the language and tend to want to eat the exact same thing as they'd get at Sal's diner at home, despite the fact that they're on the Champs Elysee. Number 3: The term African-American- Thay are BLACK -
That's what I would have thought to. There was virtually no advertising for the Irish gigs but we have the biggest gig attendance per capita in the world so ticket sales wouldn't have been too bad
-
It is your bad . One of the reasons people are so annoyed is that there has been no good reason they've cancelled their gigs and unless you're the 7th member of Wilco I don't see how you can assume there was a perfectly good reason considering none has been mentioned. Also, as the Brits have pointed out, it's not so much for lack of gigs in the UK, it's lack of regional gigs. How would you like if they just played Washington and let the rest of the country down? I'm from Ireland and the last time they played here is 4 years ago and the last time they played regional England was 2003 aswell, a

Pillowy Star, do you mind not trying to antagonize people who just had a gig cancelled on them for no valid reason without the promise of it being re-scheduled? It's really bad form, from both you and Wilco

A stereotypical American country music bar would be a better watering hole for this sorrow I assume. With Freebird coming on as your ushured out

Bilbao just says info as opposed to buy. Really worried now, the info page doesn't lead anywhere as well

The 10th would be a bit too close for comfort to the 14th and 15th for me. Surely they wouldn't cancel a sold-out gig. Bringing my sister for her 18th as a surprise, surprise they cancelled would be an anticlimax. Sorry for you guys across the pond anyway. I'm sure they'll bring the tour over again soon

I went for Savage Garden. I want you is a "savage" song

How you couldn't use my darling is beyond me. Go to sleep now would work wonders during their deaths. Also, roll the credits with Casino Queen

This song always reminds me of "The Fish" by Bishop with that big epiphany/chord change toward the end. Absolutely adore it.

Do the lads play just a kid live? got it there and adored it

First of all, I'd be surprised if you did watch MLS. It's a shocking league and LA Galaxy are looking like they're repeating the mistakes that the league made in the 70's. MLS is full of european league rejects like Donovan, Xavier and Angel and has 1 truly gifted player in Beckham but the amount that he's earning shows how little the MLS has progressed. Most people in Europe feel that America has focused on the Women's game because their male team is so far behind (I have lived in England and Italy and this is a common trend of thought) so for me it's a surprise that women can't get the pr
-
That's not exactly correct. The Women's game is not "different" infact, it's practically the same but the referees are stricter. As for can't undesrtand why I'd watch men and not women, I dont watch MLS or anything lower than second tier football in Europe because the standard is so poor. For the same reason I don't watch Women's FOOTBALL. Marta is amazing (sorry bout the original spelling) but she's just 1 player. Generally speaking the defending is shocking (I will accept that that was a hint of sexism but is for the most part true) and the Goalkeeping is absolutely atrocious,I rarely see a

Didn't \germany beat America last time?? As for sexist attitudes, I'm not trying to be sexist. It's just as a European and lover of football I can't understand why Yanks would rather watch Martha and Hamm than Totti and Kaka??
