Welcome. Very nice that you've met Wendy and Lou. Two of the good ones!

That was obvious from the start.

And thanks for the welcome.

I was there too...

 

Earle is an excellent songwriter and some of the new stuff was pretty good, but let's face it, when a writer gets to the point where they have to reference an earlier work in a later song, they are a bit out of ideas. Actually I thought his last album was one of his weakest in general too.

 

Great show all around though. Met some really nice people too. (Even if a few of us did get yelled at for trying to sneak into the green room and say a quick hello.)

I was there, too.

That is where I met Louie and Wendy. In fact he, my wife, and I were the ones who got yelled at for trying to sneak into the green room. Oh well. I have yet to hear the record, but I do like the sound of the new songs from the acoustic versions that I heard the other night. My missus really liked them and is probably on her way to the store now to go buy it.

I listen to too much to list it all, but new to me this month that I am really diggin' on is:

King Khan and The Shrines - What Is?

Garage-psych-R&B-Punk

For fans of: The Dirtbombs, 13th Floor Elevators, Syd's Floyd.

And

Tom Z

whatever you do, don't mention your band. at least for a couple months.

Duly noted.

Yes, production can completely screw up a really great song. But a weak song will always be a weak song. Good production can make it more interesting, but it will still be a weak song and won't stand up to repeated listens.

What's your favourite alcoholic drink?

-just a good beer, please

AC/DC or Black Sabbath?

The Who or the Kinks?

Do you think Flight of the Conchords is funny?

-I don't have cable

Do you exercise at all?

-Does that include chasing two insane little boys?

What do you think about Kitkat bars and the proper way to eat them?

Thongs, sexy or disgusting?

-On her or me?

Do you know anyone that plays second life?

-?

Are you overly familiar with the location of the wilco loft?

-No.

Sufjan Stevens, awesome or snooze-fest?

-He's fine. Neither here nor there.

Are you anyone's alter and will you be changing your avatar/handle every month?

-No (ask Louie or Wendy). And, most likely. No.

Canadians - fuck 'em or love 'em?

-Hate Rush. Love SCTV.

Hope this gives you sufficient insight into the Me.

OK, let's just get on with this already. When does your band play their next show?

 

 

Sorry, couldn't help it. Welcome aboard matey!

Ha!

It is like that, isn't it?

We broke up, so we don't play anymore. And, I'm a dad, so I rarely play anywhere of note anymore. But, thanks for asking.

When does YOUR band play next?

I'm a music lover too. but I think the real question is how do you feel about Joe Torre's nose?

As a lifelong, sad, pathetic Cubs fan (is that redundant?), I couldn't care less.

Ray Davies may be, pound-for-pound, a better songwriter than either Lennon or McCartney.

Okay, I'm no whimp. He is.

Anyway, I guess that, since this is the Wilco-only form, I'll start at the beginning:

I was in attendance at Wilco's first-ever show at Lounge Ax, back in 1994.

I was also a student at Mizzou and saw UT before No Depression came out (Halloween, 1989). (Is that still Wilco-related?)

But I'm not bragging, just starting at the top.

Hi.

Oh yeah, and I came here because I met Louie B and Wendy at the Steve Earle show at Martyr's last night.

Hello. My name is Todd and I am a music addict.

I met Louie B and Wendy last night at the Steve Earle show at Martyr's and thought that I'd register here.

I already post at too many other boards, but, you know, I'm an addict.

Today I'm listening to this:

The Wolfgang Press - Queer

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Magnetic Fields - The Charm Of the Highway Strip

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Various - A Matter Of Degrees (OST)

Nice to meet you.
