>>>What did they eat?

 

Wilco enjoyed salad, teriyaki chicken, grilled ahi tuna, roasted veggies and a wild mushroom dish. I enjoyed easing backstage during soundcheck.

 

You realize that your comments have made you many, many, jealous enemies in this forum right?

Did anyone see any tapers there last night? I didn't see any taping rigs, but I'm hoping I just missed one. I'd love to have a copy of "our" version of Jesus, Etc.

I didn't see any tapers, but I was in the upper "Grand Tier". I loved the "singalong" on Jesus Etc.. It almost seemed like Jeff was chastising the audience for their lack of singing on Summerteeth.

Highlights, for me anyway, included "One Wing", "Impossible Germany", "Jesus Etc." (the guy next to me looked at me like I was a freaking idiot for singing so loud, but I didn't care), and "Hoodoo Voodoo".

The only low-lights, were the girl on the other side of my wife who really, really, needed a shower/deodorant, and the weather going home. It took me about 2 hours to get there, and just under 4 to get home. Glad I took a vacation day from work today to finish up my homework for the week.

Also, I really hope that Pat's Telecaster is ok. Guitars aren't supposed to hit the stage that way.

Did anybody else see Mikael's hand gestures during the call and response section of Hoodoo Voodoo? He seemed to be joking with Glen by making boring and gagging hand gestures.

Listened to some of this on Sunday... predictably mediocre. 102.1 used to be a great radio station, I grew up on it that was how I first heard The Clash and so many others....ummmm, I guess that was a long time ago. Always been billed as "the" alternative station in Toronto but lately they play the same mainstream sets as everyone else, same beer advertisers, etc etc.

 

Anyway, not a single tune here from Wilco, UT, Pavement, Sonic Youth, Elvis C., Yo La Tengo, nothing from Nas, Biggie, Fugees. Barely an independent label band to be found. Even Canadian bands are grossly underrepresented.

 

Epic Fail

Without seeing the list it is hard to say, but I'll bet there is some Tragically Hip, Moist, and maybe the Andrew Goode Band on there somewhere.

It's Rich, he's gotten much better since his solo album.

I would say so. I listened to Paper a couple weeks ago and his voice isn't nearly as smooth as it is now.

I've listened to "Before the Frost" all the way through roughly 3 to 3 1/2 times so far and I like it.

It's hard for me to define the album. This isn't a full on straight ahead Rock and Roll album like in the past. The best word I can come up with to describe it is funky. Even if you take out "I Ain't Hiding", which sounds like something that Franz Ferdinand could have written, the album just has this funky feel to it. In a way it reminds me a little of some Allman Brothers jam type stuff or some Derek Trucks style mixing menagerie. There is some latin beat type grooves going on in some of the songs. Luther is in great form, he seems more fluid in his playing than what he was on Warpaint.

Also, I have yet to find out who is singing on "What is Home" but I want to know where they have been. It doesn't sound like Rich, from the little bit that I have heard, and I don't have a lot of vocals to compare to with regards to Luther, but wow, who ever it is needs to sing more. Beautiful vocals on that one.

All in all, it is definitely a great album, not as great as Southern Harmony, what album is, but more complete feeling than Warpaint.

I heard that there was this small band called The Beatles, that were really pushing to get on the bill. Maybe if were really lucky Gwar will get a shot. I am assuming that Andrew Bird will get a handful of dates.

Honestly. I didn't get it until I heard it live. After that I fell in love with it.

I shall be the Bull Black Nova's

I've gone with "If I ever was myself I wasn't that night" before.

While tragic, they make a career getting hit in the head. Not really shocking.

I just sat through the one of the boring movies of all time, Ghost Town, then with about 10 minutes to go in the movie I heard a familiar guitar piece softly emanating from the background. Low and behold as the music grew louder I realized that the music was "Please Be Patient with Me". My wife didn't believe me until Jeff's voice kicked in. Bad movie, great song.

And hydrocodone and oxycodone will still be available, I would imagine - they just don't want to combine it with Tylenol anymore. And they are leaving the magic sleep potion known as NyQuil alone.

I have issues taking painkillers. I get really nauseous on Oxycodone and most other things I get prescribed. The only thing I am able to take that does any good is Vicoden. Everytime I have ever gotten prescribed Vicoden, the pharmacist gives me hydrocodone. I just always assumed that it was the generic version of Vicoden. Am I wrong?

Already set to record.

Never mind it is working

That's not a recognizable link

It's never a good thing when somebody passes, but at least he didn't go out like David Carradine.

The 2 biggest for me were

Tilt: Till it Kills

Sunny Day Real Estate: Diary

Both were found at this little used record shop in Pensacola Fl. that I believe is no longer there. God do I miss the indie record shops.

You Tube? What's You Tube?

All they needed was the one Hanson kid on drums and this would have been kick ass.

No seriously, this really intrigues me.

Everything that I have read about Nova said that the song is about a guy who just killed his girlfriend, unless Vincent and Marvin had something going on that was deleted on the cutting room floor, I don't think that it pertains.

Although this secondary plot line would have made Pulp Fiction a heck of a lot more interesting.

The sad thing is that now, even with all of the acting accomplishments he had, he will be forever known as the guy who died with a shoestring wrapped around his junk.

Pat definitely. He reminds me Keith Richards when he is onstage, but in a good way.

To paraphrase Bill Hicks "No one has ever died for a flag. They've died for what the flag symbolizes, which happens to be, the freedom to burn the fucking flag."

Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner.

I can certainly understand somebody objecting to another person burning a flag. As a person who served in the U.S. military, I can say from experience, that we were taught to revere and cherish the flag. But even then, I got the the sense that we were supposed to honor the meaning of the flag more than the piece of fabric.

As for the question, I have been trying all morning to find the actual track where Jeff talks about the meaning from the AGIB compilation, but I can't seem to find it. I do remember that he does say it is one of the few songs that he wrote specifically for a reason, and that it was in honor of all of the people who have the courage to burn flags.

No Lidstrom, no Datsukm no problem.

I am really kind of worried though. Fleury is playing lights out in Pittsburgh.

This just doesn't seem real.
