When did Loose Fur start as a band? I remember hearing Laminated Cat for the first time while watching IATTBYH. Jeff does an acoustic version in it. I thought that IATTBYH was filmed way before Loose Fur united. I guess it could have been something that Jeff brought into the band.

After reading your list of gear I think that I actually hate you at this moment. In my humble opinion, with a 3 piece it is generally good to have a guitar and set-up that has good low end. A beefy guitar like the Kessel will definitely help that. A trio can sound kind of weak and sparse if the guitar player doesn't know what he is doing. I have seen good trio's that use Strats' but generally the good ones are the ones that have monster players. Like Clapton, who still uses one when he performs with Cream. But needless to say, he is Clapton, so there ya go. I haven't personally seen a Tele used in a 3 piece and am kind of suspicious as to how well the sound would work out, especially if it's louder music. I have never heard a Hitman played, but from what I gather they are similar to a Tele. in sound. Since you said that you are willing to spend more money I am just going to throw this out there - A good Les Paul will solve any tone problems you may have. Granted I would suggest a Les Paul for anybodies problems, musical or not, but that is just me.

Larry King has a penchant for not being very prepared for his interviews. He likes them to be learning experiences for him as well as the viewer. It finally caught up to him. He was interviewing Jerry Seinfeld the other day and Seinfeld got a little peeved about it. Here is the link:

When I heard replayed on the radio Jerry seemed a lot more ticked than he came across in the video but it is funny none the less.

Hey, no one is forcing anyone to give a player a guaranteed contract. That's a choice that GMs make to make their offers more attractive. They wouldn't have to do this if they didn't keep offering them.

It was in my understanding that the players have it in the their labor contract that their salaries are guaranteed.

I think I just had an aneurysm from laughing so hard. I case anybody is wondering, Mountain dew does not feel good coming out of your nose.

Great second encore.

Side With The Seeds is great live, though ... I knew that would be a live favorite of mine the first time I heard it on the album.

I wholeheartedly agree that Side with Seeds is great live. I just like Impossible Germany live better.

From what I understand it has to do with the fact that in the olden days November was the best month to have a lot of people vote due to farming demands and Tuesday has something to do with people having to travel a long ways to be able to vote and by having it on Tuesday they would be able to wait until after Sunday to leave. I'm assuming this is supposed to allude the fact that Sunday is the sabbath in the Christian religion. As for the first Tuesday I don't have an answer for that. I shall Google it.

Edit* Google says it is the first Tuesday because business people of the period would normally do their books on the 1st of the month so lawmakers didn't want the Tuesday to fall on the 1st of the month. I also saw a reason saying that is because November 1st is All Saints Day in the Catholic religion, so that may have something to do with it.

Michigan can still go to a BCS bowl if they win at UW and lose to OSU. If OSU does go to the BCS championship (as we will ) then as long as they don't fall too far down the rankings (as they shouldn't, because OSU will be the #1 team, so maybe 3 spots AT THE MOST), they will end up with a BCS bowl berth. Of course, UM's fate largely becomes more of an issue of beating Wisconsin than beating OSU (because beating UW is a lot easier than OSU). To get to the pie they need to beat UW. If they beat both they get a large share of the pie. If they lose both, they get none...

It will depend a lot on whether or not Henne can play vs. Wisconsin. Mallett will be a decent QB but on the road in Madison, with everything that is at stake, with an ailing Mike Hart, isn't something I want a true freshman to have to be counted on for.

We have a cult about that here. Someday, we are going to build the set and re-enact the movie.

Oh shit, you have got to count me in. I'll take what ever part is available. Although I will say for the record that I don't know if I could pull off the Rosalind Cash shear dashiki outfit. I didn't know that the Will Smith movie was based on the same book. I wasn't planning on seeing it and I doubt that it will have the same aura as The Omega Man, but I might just go see it now. I might even get my wife to go see it. She hates the original, probably because I watch it constantly, but likes Will Smith. Maybe I just won't tell her it's a remake.

I've never missed one in over 25 years. I know the saying has been beaten to death , but I'll say it anyway: if you don't vote I don't wanna hear your whinin' later.

I second that emotion.

Side With the Seeds

 

Handshake Drugs

God I love Side with Seeds. It is my favorite track off of SBS. Unless they are playing the songs live. Then it is hard to beat Impossible Germany. The triple guitar work at the end of Impossible when they play it live gives me chills almost every time I hear it.

The chances of U of M going to the Rose Bowl (or any other BCS game for that matter) if they lose to tOSU are slim and none, and slim went home. Currently U of M is ranked 12th in the BCS. Assuming a win over the Badgers in Madison (which is no sure thing) and a tOSU win over the Illini, tOSU would still remain in the top spot, but U of M would probably only move up to the 8 - 10 range. If the Sweatervest works his evil magic once again and tOSU wins in A2, U of M would drop out of the top 12 of the BCS. The Big 11 would only have one team in the top 12 and I seem to recall that teams must finish in the top 12 of the BCS to be eligible for an at-large berth in one of the 4 non-championship BCS games. A 3 loss Michigan team will be playing in the CapitalOne/Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1. Michigan must win the Big 11 to qualify for the conference's automatic BCS bowl slot.

I didn't even think of that.

I still haven't lived down the 55-10 beating at the hands of the 49ers in the Super Bowl 24. So I respectfully abstain.

Fuck this shit - people get that annoyed by others on the phone in public at this point? What is this, 1999?

Nope, it's 1984 - FYI man, alright. You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!

A-Man is my new hero. Anybody that can break out an "Omega Man" picture spontaneously like that kicks arse.

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)

All right stop collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop yo I don't know

Turn off the lights and I'll glow

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal

Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

Dance go rush to the speaker that booms

I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom

Deadly when I play a dope melody

Anything less than the best is a felony

Love it or leave it you better gain weight

You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS

Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)

Now that the party is jumping

With the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin'

Quick to the point to the point no faking

I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon

Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal

And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo

I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo

Rollin' in my 5.0

With my rag-top down so my hair can blow

The girlies on standby waving just to say hi

Did you stop no I just drove by

Kept on pursuing to the next stop

I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block

The block was dead

Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis

Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine

Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall

The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls

Gunshots rang out like a bell

I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells

Falling on the concrete real fast

Jumped in my car slammed on the gas

Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed

I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack

Police on the scene you know what I mean

They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

REPEAT CHORUS

Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet

Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it

My town that created all the bass sound

Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground

'Cause my style's like a chemical spill

Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel

Conducted and formed

This is a hell of a concept

We make it hype and you want to step with this

Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja

Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say damn

If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram

Keep my composure when it's time to get loose

Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while Shay revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla ice

Yo man let's get out of here

Word to your mother

Ice ice baby too cold

Ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)

Ice ice baby

Holy crap do I feel out of the loop...I've never even heard of The National. Guess they're good huh?

Don't feel bad I haven't heard of half of the artists that are being mentioned. People always tell me I'm weird because I listen to obscure music that nobody has ever really heard of. I don't feel so bad now. Not that I'm calling anybody here weird

excuse me, I don't believe women are a "minority" demographic

In the world of politics women are a minority which is what I was getting at. Personally, I would love to see Hillary and Barack run together, but unfortunately, I don't think they would win an election that way. Also, I'm not sure which position I would want them to run in.

At least Giuliani isn't a whackjob when it comes to domestic issues, so if you guys end up saddled with yet another GOP prez, it won't be all bad.

 

Still, don't forget that when the mud starts slinging, the 9-11 firefighters and volunteers are going to rip Rudy to fucking pieces. They hate him, and with good cause. He's as phony as politicians come.

If the country is going to be saddled with another GOP Pres. I would either like it to be either Giuliani or McCain. I was just saying that face value has a lot to do in politics.

I really think it depends on the situation. You have some assholes that no matter what the situation have to be loud and obnoxious with their cellies, and other people who actually need it. For instance, when I saw Wilco in Detroit. I had mine on but I had the vibrate turned on (even before any of the entertainment started) because I had kids home with a babysitter and I needed to keep it on in case. Yet there were some guys behind my wife and I that were being total dick heads calling their friend and pranking him. I don't think my wife wanted to know that the guy behind had a 12" cock and wanted to put it in his friends rear. But maybe I'm being sensitive.

fixed it for you.

Thanks. but in that case shouldn't it be "Easy Rockers maaan"

1. Stranglet - Grant Lee Phillips

2. Sky Blue Sky - WILCO

3. Sloe Gin - Joe Bonamassa

4. Drama - Joe Firstman

5. I'm reserving this for the new Counting Crowes album. From what I heard the rock disc kicks arse.

A few weeks ago, I dreamed that Nels attended a post-show party at my house and got filthy drunk. We had to drive him back to the Wilco bus so he could hit the road. He was a really fun drunk, laughing and singing and making merry. Dreams are so nutty.

Very "Almost Famous". He wasn't standing on your roof screaming that he was a golden god was he?

i thought the performance was okay. i'm a little weirded out that Too Far Apart was my favorite of the set.

You know the more and more I see them, the more I am really getting into the songs that are the "rockers".
