here's the country songs SS was talking about: http://www.ryan-adams.com/teleport.html

if you click on the rose on the dashboard there's another rap "Drunk Santa"

"kevin bacon was a cock!" "kevin bacon making waterworld 3, what? they haven't even made 2 yet.. .that was kevin costner" "c-c-c-c-critics... 1 and a half stars" "3 records sold, my records went balsa wood in India" is it me or does he sound like Isaac Brock sometimes during this? lol

:rotfl

i'd say considering some of Waits best work is pre '80 he doesn't count... Prince David Byrne (yeah they had 2 great pre '80 records, but still) Neil Finn Paul Westerberg Robert Smith Elliott Smith Frank Black Ian Mackaye Greg Graffin Bono

that's what i said last Octobe when i skipped them to see Broken Social Scene & Feist, but they've yet to come back here i haven't seen them headline since 2004, it blows! saw 'em open for both PJ Chicago shows, but 45 min x 2 doesn't count

i know this is a Wilco site, but i urge people to check out that MMJ show, the first night of the Aud show won't be all that anyway, come on, y'know you wanna!

jesus h. Fri 11/24 My Morning Jacket @ The Riv Fri 11/24 Wilco @ The Auditorium Fri 11/24 Andrew Bird @ Logan Square Fri 11/24 The Black Keys @ The Vic Sat 11/25 Wilco @ The Auditorium Sat 11/25 Andrew Bird @ Logan Square Sat 11/25 The Black Keys @ The Vic Sat 11/25 Wolfmother @ The Riv

my wife absolutely hates to shop... i usually have to drag her to shop when she needs new clothes prolly not gonna happen unfortunately, ah well, you guys will have a blast

alrighty then... i guess that answers my question about going to MMJ at the Riv... MMJ @ the Riv Friday, Wilco @ the Aud on Sat night sounds like a great weekend to me!! now i just need to convince the wife, since it is Thanksgiving weekend :-/

there's a show in the Twin Cities on 10/29, not confirmed yet

Pearl Jam sounded rather poor for the most part, but their energy was amazing, making it one of the more memorable Unpluggeds. Nirvana were a very hit or miss live band, so for them to go Unplugged and excel and sound so great was really the pinnacle for them in my eyes.

Naked Juice Green Machine > Nirvana

thing is, i wouldn't dispute you calling Cobain one of the best songwriters of the last 25 years, i just would disagree... Jack White, as great as he is, isn't even fit to hold Paul's jock, sorry. maybe it's a generational thing? not that i was into the Mats' in their heyday (i got into them around '91), but still, there is 7-8 years between us in age if my assumption is correct, that could definitely account for some of the differences of opinion, as that would have made you 7 or 8 when Nirvana broke? i can easily see how getting into a band like that at that age could have a very lasting

most likely, yeah

well, another person i'd consider among the top 10 songwriters post 1980 is Neil Finn, and i'm sure i'd get even more heads scratching w/ that one

oh man... dude they aren't even remotely the same band that opened for I&W spring '05 (i saw 'em as well, they were called Horses still then) for one they've gone through 3 different members, and are now a 4 or 5 piece depending when you see them. and secondly, they are WAY WAY better of a band now

it's not, but the comments about Cobain's melodies over Westy's is imo. Westerberg is one of the top songwriters of the last 25 years, without a doubt top 10 easily. Cobain... i'd consider about 5-10 Nirvana songs that compete w/ the best Replacements songs, but that's about it. the last time i listened to Nirvana (about 6 years ago), i realized how much i overhyped them even myself back in '91-94

and Nirvana weren't at all?

i'd go PTMM, Tim, Let It Be, Soul but yeah, those are def their best records w/o a doubt

that and Let It Be, as great as it is, is their 3rd best record

i wasn't talking about you, i was talking about the shit Jesusetc84 has been spewing

holy shit i can't even comprehend what i'm reading here

great band, live and on record

with the way things have been going lately, i'd say a Replacements reunion is pretty much inevitable now, just a matter of when/where and if they'll tour or not (if they wanna make some $$ they will) Tommy & Paul (along w/ Josh Freese on drums) played 3 songs at the LA premiere of the film last night: Right To Arm Bears Love You In The Fall I.O.U.!!!!!! photos & more details here: http://paulwesterberg.proboards107.com/ind...read=1159271684
