  1. Does anyone else love this band and/or their latest album Small Miracles?

    51d35udb6l_ss500__4.jpg

     

    didn't realize they still exist

     

    i dug 'em but lost interest after Bob Wiseman left the band

     

    which was a while ago

     

    Rain down on me + Till I am Myself Again = great songs

  3. I had no problem getting on DIME this morning. Just hit refresh a couple of times and it pops right up. I imagine they have a lot of disabled users going out all day.

     

    yes! you just have to be persistent. i think it's a 10-minute cycle or 15-minute cycle that automatically purges accounts that have dropped below a certain ratio or have been inactive for a certain period of time. so just hit reload enough and you will get in sooner or later.

     

    and it is an absolute storehouse of amazing live shows. i'm on my third 500 gb external hard drive and going strong (with the odd show from other trackers, including etree, hungercity, shnflac and tradersden)

     

    and, yeah, this is a tremendous recording + great show, so thanks to the upper

     

    and tons of seeders so a very quick dl

  4. am i the only one who doesn't get this band?

     

    i saw 'em live once and although they had a lot of energy, the songs were lacking and all came at you at the same tempo and volume

     

    i didn't bother with Z but the earlier records didn't do much for me either

     

    but, man, people rave about these guys

     

    so maybe it's me

  5. Considering the two list above don't include a single track off Muswell Hillbillies, I'm having a hard time taking them seriously.

     

    here's an idea

     

    when you make your list, you put your favorite songs on it

     

    when i make my list, i'll put my favorite songs on it

     

    oklahoma usa, complicated life, holiday and alcohol are four favorites from muswell hillbillies, but you know what? they're not in my top 20

     

    if you think that makes my taste less valid than yours, i have a hard time taking anything you say seriously

     

    jesus christ

  6. was wondering if jeff got the phrase "sky blue sky" from the Guided By Voices song Johnny Appleseed, off the Clown Prince of the Menthol Trailer EP

     

    the first couplet:

     

    You fly like a fly

    In a sky blue sky

  7. yank the shows from dime & they'll just show up at the traders den or eztree

     

    yank them from there & they'll show up on piratebay or somewhere else

     

    van can try to stop people from sharing his live music, but it's a battle that's impossible to win

  8. I guess it would be even worse to be the parent of a 'tween-aged Hannah Montana fan (NPR said people were re-selling those tickets for $2000 a pop!), but still, this fan is sad that it's getting so hard to get in to shows.

     

    don't be so sure

     

    i got my wife and daughter 15th-row tickets for hannah montana in philly for $400. great seats.

     

    never dreamed i'd have trouble getting wilco tickets. i guess i missed the memo that they're popular. never did get a ticket for philly, but if bought one it would have been more expensive than hannah

     

    wtf

     

    hell, i saw wilco at the TLA in 1994 for $12

     

    just weird

  9. so etree has the 1972 project going & i'm on download five of eight

     

    each one is about 16 gb and they're all fairly well seeded, so they're going along fairly quickly (30 kB/s or so)

     

    etree = ratio free, too (although i seed 'em all to at least 1.0 before i move 'em to my hard drive)

     

    thank god for cheap external hard drives!

     

    i had about 30 1972 shows but now i'll have 'em all in one place, some with soundboard and audience versions

     

    i'm a big 1972, 1973 and 1977 guy, so this is very cool

  10. I'm going to see them on March 5 and wanted to know how they've been on this tour.

    How's Shane been?

    Do they bring the rock?

    What's the setlist like?

     

    Any other Chicagoans gonna be there on the 5th?

     

    i'm gonna see 'em later in march + can't wait

     

    haven't heard a thing about these shows, but i did hear that james walbourne is playing guitar, which is fantastic. he's toured with son volt and pernice brothers and is one of the most talented players i've ever seen

     

    sadly, philip chevron is very ill

  11. pretty shitty for ya'all to go around threatening to ban people who are criticizing Wilco for what to me seems like a really crappy thing to do

     

    i think Sky Blue Sky is achingly dull and Nels Cline's hallowed guitar solo in Impossible Germany is impossibly boring.

     

    ban me

     

    p.s. -- i go back with tweedy to uncle tupelo, who i saw 14 years ago last week, and wilco, who i saw at the Mercury in december 1994, so now don't start questioning my credentials. i was digging wilco before most of the kool-aid drinking hipsters on here had stashed their counting crows albums in the basement

  12. I'm sure he's as sick of people yelling "tear stained eye," as Jefff is "Gun," but damn if I don't love that song.

     

    i've never heard a ton of that, mainly because he's always played tear-stained eye, so people don't need to bark out for it

     

    my experience is that whiskey bottle and still be around get called out the most at jay shows. unless i'm there, and then it's looking for a way out
