This is the funniest most brainless entertainment thread on this forum and I love it.

Like I said - I was giving props for sure. Thanks for the clarification on the mp3 thing though.

That is what I'm talking about - teach the newbies how to do it instead of just getting pissed at them - regardless of you being the one getting pissed, or not (giving props to analogman here to be clear) But just wondering why no mp3's? Also, if you liked the band since day one or you just heard about them when they had a VW commercial, who really cares as long as the passion and love is genuine for their incredible music. Luckily I fall somewhere between there but whether you were a founding member of this forum/board or not. It is a public forum. Peeps should figure out the etiquette (in

Philosophical debates/discussions on the bands music and lyrics (whether for or not) about religion seems totally proper to me. Some people just don't want to think or talk about that stuff regardless and avoid it by getting into music like Wilco's in the first place This is why it is affiliated it is frowned upon by some. It is a whole thread all in itself I would tend to think. It is a slippery slope when you get beliefs involved in peoples opinions because there really are no ultimate truths when it comes to opinions (no matter how whacked out they are). In reading through some of the th

So is it up anywhere that you don't have to be a member to download/listen?

Woops. That's what happens when you are quickly sneaking on here during work. Thanks!

SWEET. How do we get the rest of the tracks? Is it posted somewhere? Also, where do I see that poster art? I would have loved to buy one and support the members of the board's artistic endeavors..

That show was in par with all the other Wilco shows I've been blessed to see this year. AMAZING. The room really didn't sound all "THAT" bad either. I did totally miss Andrew Bird though having to work until 5 and then with Traffic (and him starting at 7:30 sharp)..... Kind of LAMO that there were no collaborations. Tweedy did get his whistle on and then make a reference but that was it. Kind of weak. Jeff unplugged during the encore was a treat (except for the most obnoxious clapper of all time, you know the one guy out of 2000 people that just can't "Get it"). Great show.

Try to keep me away from there tonight baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO PUMPED! Use this thread tomorrow to discuss the highlights! To everyone that can't make it... sorry.

That is a dream show. Tons of Chi-Town folk are driving to Shwill-Town, aka milWOOKee, aka Milwaukee. That is gonna be nanners if they do any collaborations. These are two of my strongest musical influences and the greatest living songwriters on the same stage on the same night. Absolutely amazing. STOKED STOKED STOKED STOKED...... The pain in my A$$ is that I have work in Chicago both days and I am going with my sister to see Regina Spektor the night before so it looks like a lot of back and forth for me that week. Oh well, it's worth it.

Well I saw the Chicago show on Saturday night. I am a huge Ryan Adams fan and was worried about the backlash of the MN scenario. He actually made a joke about it "Don't ask Neal, he only plays guitar" or something of that nature. Ryan and the Cardinals are on fire right now. SO tight, SUCH great harmonies, and their songwriting is IMMACULATE. The poster from the Chicago show has a dude sitting in front of Wrigley Field the day after the Cubbies clinch their division and a guaranteed trip to the playoffs. Pretty sweet. The Magnolia Mountain opener jammed so hard it was worth the whole ticket bu

Yeah - HOB is owned by live nation. Many bands at that level don't have much of an option. Here in Chicago bands at that level either work with live nation, JAM, or indie promoters like me. We get screwed by the corp companies like that all the time. Working the grind and building up bands until they are big enough to work with them; then they get snaked. Also, if we go to do shows with the bigger acts, the room rentals of the places owned by those companies are so outrageous that it makes it impossible for us to put on the show. BULLSHIT. The crossover happens when it becomes more of a busine

The lineup is pretty hot. Andrew Bird is amazing among several other acts. I am going to try and make it.

true that

What a way to go out I guess....
