Yeah, it's for WXRT "VIPs". But, you know, that's how I met Louie and Wendy (we all won tix to that Steve Earle show a couple of months ago) and, therefore, found this place to begin with. So, it ain't all bad. Just an FYI for you Chicagoans. And a "NEYAH-NEYAH" to you non-Chicagoans. (sorry.) EDIT: Sorry if this was covered in the "Residency" thread, but I wasn't gonna sift through all 10 pages there.

Tried downloading, but being at work kinda throws a kink into that whole thing. I will check you out at myspace though, when I get a chance. Thanks.

You absolutely stole my answer. This one is a lot of fun, if not wholly representative of the man. It's RT solo/acoustic (as you wanted), but covering songs from -- as you could have guessed -- the last 1000 years. Literally. From Olde English and Welsh ballads to Cole Porter to Britney Spears. It's a lot of fun.

I said, "I'm so happy I could die." She said, "Drop dead," then left with another guy... -"The Angels Want To Wear My Red Shoes"

I forgot about that one! Might be mu favorite of theirs since The Biz!

Although, with only one vote, I have to go with Christmas Story. And also, Nightmare... is right up there, too.

Thanks. Forgot the link. I'm listening now...

Foods Of Chicago: A Delicious History Great show. Love those food-tour shows on PBS!

Thank you for the update, Sue! Wife and I are def. going to try to make it! -Todd (former Sub Rosa guy who misses you and Julia)

I've heard that one before.

Kinda inspired by the "Rock Star's Guitars" thread: I just want to know what I asked up there in the topic subhead. Do you? What's the story behind the name? My main electric ('88 Squire Strat): "Susan" for the first person to ever tell me that they liked one of my songs. My main acoustic ('93 Epiphone EO model): "Sharon" for my wife My new guitar (Regal resonator): "Barbara" for my grandmother, who was thrilled when I picked up the guitar. (Mods: move this to the "Ummmm" forums, please? thx)

So yeah, I know that this is a Wilco forum and all, but this album has kicked my ass from the day that I heard it. If you like garage/psych/acid/rock/r'n'b that sounds like a cross of: Syd's Pink Floyd, DirtBombs, White Stripes, 13th Floor Elevators, and stuff..., this is your record. PM for a small taster. Or go to their MySpace if I can't manage one: www.myspace.com/kingkhantheshrines

Oh yes, I almost forgot: Young Frankenstein: "Puttin' On the Ritz" scene. It's so juvenille, but so genuinely funny at the same time. Peter Boyle, RIP. EDIT: Forgive me if one of those YouTube clips showed this scene... I have no access to YouTube either.

viiibbbeesss....

When the dog caught fire in There's Something About Mary. The graduation parade in Stripes, the first few times that I saw it. probably some others that I'll remember later.

No. I was just a kid that got a day off of school because my mom responded to an open casting call on a whim and then got a phone call. I was just happy to get the day off.

Can't see the YouTube thing, but I assume that it's a clip from The Shining? And if it is, then the answer is no. I didn't get the part, just interviewed for it.
