The boys were definitely in good form tonight. I'm at work and people kept coming up to my office for help so I had to keep leaving, and only got to see a portion of it. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. . Crap, I exceeded my megaupload limit doing the first part. I have to wait 6 hours until I can do the rest. Oh, well. Thanks JRiordan.

Grant Lee Buffalo - Dixie Drug Store. It was muggy July around supper time When i pulled into New Orleans I got dropped off at south rampart street I was hungry for a plate of greens I made my way down the banquette Where i could see an open door And overhead a sign made of painted pine read The dixie drug store Peppers and roots were hanging From the rafters above There were oils and sprays all on display For money luck and for love I reached down to pick one up When a dark hand grabbed my arm And before i could see just who it was She said you don't want that charm The last man to

Something you might want to try is getting an effects processor. I have a Digitech GNX 4 and it has any possible effect that you could want outside of a Leslie. But the GNX 4 is pretty expensive, around $500 Almost any company that makes effects pedals makes a processor and you can get some decent ones for around the same price that you can get some of the boutique type pedals. I recommend Digitech but that is just my opinion. They make some around $50, and it would help you play around and decide what tone you really want. But no matter what, the most important element to getting the tone you

This may be old but I just found this great video of old Uncle Tupelo playing the Munsters theme at a Halloween show. This was back when they were called the Primitives though. I never thought I would get to see Tweedy in a dress. The user has a bunch of old Tupelo stuff.

That is funny. That is the exact same shaving set-up I use. I love the aftershave gel. It doesn't matter what I use though. I always end up cutting the crap out of myself shaving. They used to make fun of me when I was on ship in the Navy. I would come out of the bathroom looking like a horror movie because the ship would rock back and forth while I was shaving. Not to mention after you have been out to sea a while, the only thing the ship store carries shaving wise is really crappy razors and foam shaving cream.

Grant Lee Buffalo: Might Joe Moon. - The song Mockingbirds is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Almost every musician has had a moment in their life where they heard a band or a song and something inside of them clicked and they thought "That's what I want to do for the rest of my life". Mockingbirds was my moment. Grant Lee Phillips' voice is haunting and he is my favorite vocalist. Like a lot of other bands at that time, GLB came out right as grunge hit and didn't have enough of a mainstream sound for that movement. Natalie Merchant: Tigerlily - This album garnered a littl

SUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thanks for the info.

Sweet, thanks. Now I need to drop hints to my wife about it for my birthday.

The sad part is, I have the Kot book. I don't remember anything about it. I haven't read it in a couple of years. I guess I'll have to read it again. Yeah, that does make sense.

Probably my second best all time SNL skit behind Cowbell. In case anybody doesnt know. Here is a link to the skit. The sad thing is that I heard that Timberlake actually does this song live. LINK

Wow has this thread gone sideways. Froggie you are an evil genius. Well for the fun of it, here I go: Casino Cock/Cock Queen Box Full of Cock I must Be Cock (Was I ) In your Cock Company in my Cock You Are My Cock Heavy Metal Cock Bob Dylan's 49th Cock I could amuse myself with this all day but somebody else deserves to have fun too.

I was reading the Wilco article in Wikipedia and in it, the article mentions that some of Wilco's songs have had their lyrics written using "cadavre exquis " which Wiki describes as "an exercise where band members take turns writing lines on a typewriter, but are only allowed to see the previously written line". While their understanding of Cadavre Exquis varies from my understanding of it, I was wondering if anybody had heard the band mention anything about it and if so did they give any examples? Just going through the lyric catalog in my head I could see that maybe IATTBYH was written that

The most important question is - When can we get it?

All I know is that Interpol raided the dudes workplace. Something tells me he is now unemployed. There isn't really a "Sorry for getting you strip searched and cavity checked in the lunchroom yesterday" type Hallmark card that you can get for your boss.

Oh, come on "The Final Countdown" is a good song. I'm not being facetious I really like that song. Honest story, the first 2 cassette tapes I ever bought, were Europe "The Final Countdown" and Aerosmith's "Greatest Hits". I was a freshman in high school at a new school. There was girl named Carrie that went to the school and Europe had a song named, oddly enough, "Carrie"on that album, which is why I bought it. My plan was to play the song and to sing it to her. Unfortunately, she started dating some guy 4 years older, and much, much bigger than me and he ended up beating me up when he found o

I helps quite a bit. Thanks.

Definitely interesting. I've never been one for straight instrumental type music unless it's very melodic. That man has outrageous timing. I wish I had that kind of timing. Every time I get behind a drum kit I do fine until i try to incorporate my feet and then it just goes right out of the window. I'm more of a meat and potatoes kind of musician I guess.

Is Glen's music all percussion related or does he sometimes don a guitar and sing also?

You, my friend, are gifted and wise beyond your years.

Has anybody played any of the Carvin Models? I am intrigued because you can get them on the website set up with the hardware and everything the way you want it. I'm especially intrigued because you can get the smaller radius necks which I would like because I have smaller hands. I play Les Paul's and Strats now with not a whole lot of difficulty but a smaller radius neck would help my playing get better technique wise. The only problem is, since there is only a handful of stores that sell them, and I live on the east coast, you can't just run down to the local Guitar Center to try one out. So

You can get an Epiphone White Dot at any Guitar Center for $250. Obviously they are not as good as their Gibson ES-335 bretheren but I have played them in-store and I was fairly impressed. They were a lot more sturdy and had better craftsmanship than other Epiphone knock-offs. I was going to get the one that I was looking at but I was also getting a new Strat at the time and wife wouldn't let me get both. This was around the time I was trying to convince my wife to let me mortgage the house so I could buy a vintage Les Paul Gold Top. Once again I got shot down.

I live in a lonely little shelterd town where nobody has ever heard of Wilco. That being said, after seeing them live in Detroit last week I have been screaming their praises to anybody willing (and sometimes, unwilling) to listen. No matter who I tell about Wilco one of 2 questions come up, "what kind of music is it" & "what do they sound like". I have been at a complete loss as to how to explain them to people. Normally I just bust out the MP3 player when it is available, or I have made a CD for someone also. I have never been one for categorizing music, but it is hard to explain to some

Even though the Detroit show rocked, I am so jealous of you guys. The fact that they played Hoodoo Voodoo is phenomenal! I almost Hoodoo Voodooed in my shorts when I saw that I could download the set. Thanks to the person who posted it.

True, very sad, but true none the less. I heard all of the the ex-members of Wilco are getting together to form The Polyphonic Spree 2.

I have a feeling in 10 years Wilco will still be around, and be as relevant to as many people as they are today. Then when you mention the Shins people will glare at you with a confused look. The Shins just seem like more of a 1 hit wonder type of band to me. Just my opinion though.
