some great entries in this thread this line devastates me every time: In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake Wonderin' if I'll sleep Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street the whole song is crushing Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way Where ... the place I'd catch my ride most everyday There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say Up in the skyway "Hush was the first word you were taught" -- first line of merry go round from 14 songs "ADD, PCP, F-U-C-K-E-D, that's me" -- from the hilarious psychopharmacology, a great grandpa boy track "We

Uncle Toop ... $1,500 Jay solo ... $250 wilco $125 Farrar solo ... $100 if he plays Still Be Around, $50 otherwise (but i'm gonna see him solo in a couple weeks and it only cost $20) Son Volt ... $100 how about a gig where jay/SV plays a set, then jeff/wilco plays a set, then toop plays a set i'd freaking pay $5,000 for that and the bottle rockets open

1) Murmer 2) Fables 3) Reckoning 4) Lifes Rich Pageant 5) Document 5a) Chronic Town most disappointing band in history last few records i won't even bother listening to the next steaming pile

great record

I recommend the Kink Kronikles compilation to anybody looking for a starting point. It's jammed with catalogue mid-period classics, from victoria to apeman to sunny afternoon to dead end street to david watts, and much much more. A brilliant collection.

as of 11:41 pm EST, Jan. 19, there are at least a few tickets available on Ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/04003F7C...mp;minorcatid=1

agree i'm a little confused here though the guys from adam & dave's bloodline were supposed to be marah's latest band -- i thought they just hooked up in the past few months? now they're out? they were also going to open all the shows? i think marah has had more members than parliament when they first hit philly, they just exploded with life. been disappointment after disappointment since

baja fresh > chipotle qdoba > chipotle but never heard wilco in any of 'em did hear highways and cigarettes in starbucks tonight

i heard Impossible Germany around midnight last night in a convenience story in Philadelphia was on my way out with a bottle of water and M&Ms but stuck around for the guitar solo the coolest was hearing The Passenger by Iggy Pop in a Kohl's department store a few weeks ago

ok, i'll play along off the top of me head ... 1. Guided By Voices / Robet Pollard / Lexo & the Leapers / Psycho & the Birds / Keene Brothers / etc. 2. Matt Keating 3. Genesis 4. Capstan Shafts 5. The Rainmakers / Bob Walkenhorst 6. Uncle Tupelo 7. Replacements / Westerberg 8. Kinks 9. Son Volt / Jay 10. Gin Blossoms 11. Game Theory / The Loud Family 12. Rundgren / Utopia 13. Peter Gabriel 14. Tobin Sprout 15. Wilco / Jeff 16. Grateful Dead 17. Steve Wynn / Dream Syndicate / Gutterball / etc. 18. Yes 19. The Monkees 20. REM

nah, they're OK, not great, but pretty good course wilco blows 'em away

Once again, the band is skipping Philadelphia while touring out east. Anybody have a clue why? Philly has always supported Uncle Tupelo + Wilco, but the gigs have been few and far between recently. They played here a lot in the early days, but just twice in the last five years --- in 2003 and 2005, both outdoors, both somewhat limited sets. Both were fantastic shows, but the last time they actually played a real gig here was 2002. Maybe it's the same in a lot of cities, but Philly is such a Wilco stronghold, huge college town ... just seems weird. I need a fix.

Build Me Up Buttercup was the first No. 1 song in England by an inter-racial group great track

Full Sun (Dig the Slowness), Robert Pollard Side with the Seeds, Wilco No. 5 Aluminum Lake, Capstan Shafts Amelia, You Have Lost, Game Theory Bastards of Young, Replacements Burning Flag Birthday Suit, Guided By Voices Auditorium, Guided By Voices Picking up the Signal, Son Volt Sad if I Lost It, Guided By Voices Slate, Uncle Tupelo

maybe. i just think if you give somebody the right first set, they'll be fine. if they're getting a 40-minute Dark Star, forget it. But if you just give them a sweet selection of songs -- Bertha, Cumberland Blues, Jack Straw, Row Jimmy, Brown-Eyed Women, I Know you Rider, Ramble on Rose, China Cat/Rider, Sugaree and maybe a manageable Eyes, they'll be hooked. I think the best route into the Dead is by showing that more than anything, they wrote incredible songs. And then you go from there and build outward. maybe a nice 1970 (Sept. 20) acoustic show?

best starting point is a live show take your pick i'm partial to May 8, 1977, Barton Hall Sept. 3, 1977, Englishtown March 26, 1973, Baltimore Aug. 27, 1972, Old Renaissance Faire Grounds Jan 2, 1972, Winterland April 25, 1971, Fillmore East May 17, 1977, University of Alabama May 11, 1972, Rotterdam but almost anything from 1972 or 1977 works start out with the more song-oriented first sets and go from there

first time i saw Wilco was Dec. 16, 1994, at the Mercury Lounge in NYC it was one of the first handful of wilco shows i remember some drunk guy in the back screaming at the top of his lungs for Whiskey Bottle somebody yelled out, "No, Jay wrote that." then some girl screamed out for Looking for a Way Out and I yelled out, "No, Jay wrote that too." and then Jeff said, "I was wondering how I would handle this. But you guys are handling it." it was a great moment and an astonishing show 1. I Must Be High 2. Box Full Of Letters 3. Too Far Apart 4. Shouldn't Be Ashamed 5. Walk W
