For the record...

And I hope you took that with a massive dose of salt. Very much tongue firmly planted in cheek I don't take myself too seriously.

Edit: Also Matt, you should know I didn't spend one minute on this. I have people.

I love that line "I have people"

For the record I'm pissed that you shut it down @ post 140. My vote didn't count. I am nothing more than a hanging chad. In fact several of us Dreamer in My Dreams voters are hanging chads. Goddamn conspiracy I say.

To me, this is the standout track on the album. Awesome stuff ... though I do agree that the ending is a bit too abrupt.

I'm gonna get flamed for this but the abrupt ending makes it awfully radio friendly don't you think? Just saying.

These lyrics are amazing!

And as sorry as a setting sun

This can

After a few trips through, the main thing I'm missing is one or two more dark tracks. That's what made me fall in love with YHF and AGIB -- the darkness and mysteriousness. Some really nice stuff here, just feels too light. But I think I'll like it better than SBS once it digests a little more.

Dark tracks when one is happy are kinda hard to manifest. I think Jeff is really quite happy right now. I don't know where the Hell he found BBN inside him. While dark is good on may levels having battled through my own dark times in the last 2 years, I am more than happy to welcome and embrace a One Wing (whcih actually has some arkness to it) and respect the Hell out of a BBN but also not call it a "better song" than One Wing becuase it is dark. Dark has it's places-and there is lsome dark on this CD. Look for it. I find it far more subtle than say a YHF

absolute spot on. I am kinda spooked by how much I agree with the entire thing.

This quote makes me nervous:

"Next up 'One Wing' is an instant, understated alt-rock classic, melodic and beautifully crafted with otherworldly guitar flourishes from Nels Cline and a restrained, stuttering drum pattern from sticksman Glenn Kotche. "

I am afraid he may be right. This song is short and very very good. Perfect legnth for airplay. Airplay equates to more popularity. I selfishly really don't want this to happen. I'm getting to old for that. I saw U2 for the first time in 1984. REM in '87 and DMB (save it) in '94. All went on to be friggen stadium packers. Now I am not saying that's where they are headed, but it is only a matter of time when some of your "not so into music friends" stop replying "who?" when you speak of Wilco and reply with "oh I love them!" There is just too much talent there to go unoticed by the masses forever. AHHHH I just scared myself.

I love Circles. Very Sunday morning on the patio with a big cuppa joe.

This statement alone is enough to make me seek this out. My kids know that Sundays are reserved for Jazz and the paper. "Oh it is Sunday dad listening to Jazz again I HATE JAZZ **stomp off**

Dan Cray Trio was this past Sunday's delight.

Its only music, people. Don't take your musical niches and personal preferences so seriously.

I admit I can not see music that way-and quite frankly don't want to. I take it seriously. However, if you are a DMB fan, a Hanna Montana fan, or a Styx fan-whatever all good in my eyes. Just be passionate about it.

Well, both bands do have a single called "You Never Know" but I'd like to think thats where the coincidences end. I was a die-hard dMB fan in my life, seen them well over 100 times and now have progressed to Wilco as my favorite band in the past several years. Neither band is a "jam band" so I'm not sure how much weight the atricle holds anyways, but I consider both more of a structured and segue-timing band. All of the solos for both bands are already planned, its more of full band timing and feeding off one another in a live setting. Both DMB and Wilco do a phenomenonal job of timing their "break-downs" or mini solos and both can be commended on being on top of their game on stage. DMB and Wilco both have amazing stage presence in their own rights, and are to be considered among the best live acts in music. Wheter or not that deserves comparsions within the band's personalities may be a stretch, but it's not completely an over-exaggeration either.

what he said only I have only seen DMB 27 times. And I still believe Carter Beauford is God. When LeRoy Moore died last year I knew I could not go back. I had already moved on but that was the last straw that ended my "fun" with DMB. Did have some good times and I certainly went there to analyze and left unhappy on moe than a few occasions.

Damn this is hard:

Muzzle

One Wing

Dreamer in my Dreams

It has been an exciting week. Exciting enough that i believe I will actually post in this thread:

AM

Being There

Summerteeth

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

A Ghost Is Born

Sky Blue Sky

Wilco (The Album)

And that's all I have to say about that.

I just want to go on record as saying I am very very pleased with this CD. I'll save you the review for when I feel like hearing myself talk (or in this case type)

that's funny

poor Mr. Bill is shoved behind some sort of tape head cleaner

I laughed. If that's any consolation.

so did I and so would have Spencer I bet

I wouldn't mess with such things at work.

I got a music freak in IT al good

WinRAR

Ok so I d/led it. But I think I am stuck on installing it until I can get my IT guys to log in as admin and authorize the install. Grr....I sure hope it is easy to extract the files when I finally figure this out!

Check Mr. mpolak21's post on the previous page.

1) They are on the ground.

 

2) Camels don't move very fast.

Oh reeaallly?

"Camels can maintain a speed of around 25 mph (40 km/h), but they can reach up to 40 mph (65 km/h) in short bursts when needed."

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_fast_can_a_camel_run

How'd they get the camel up there?

That's what I want to know. Screw all the serious analysis of the cover-I will reserve that for the music. I just want to know how they got the camel up there and how they got it to stand so still

did you try here:

I'm just bitter because the dodgers beat the giants last night.

 

That being said they are hitting berzerkeley and saratoga (winery show?!).

Look we Bay Area folk hate LA-is what it is. They (so Cal) don't hate us-it is a much more one sided hatred from my years in both Nor Cal and So Cal. That being said, no they aren't playing in SF proper but the Greek is fun and the Saratoga show will be beautiful. Im in KC now and have to travel out of state to see them! You just have to jump on 101. So stop whining go the the Saratogo show-hit the Shadowbrook inn with your significant other in Capitola (about 30 miles away but worth the drive) http://www.shadowbrook-capitola.com/ and make me insanely jealous. Did I mention I live in Kansas now?

What's wrong with playing a winery?

For the record the place is beautiful so to answer your question NOTHING. I saw Harry Belafonte and Smokey Robinson there as a wee lad with my parents. Check out some of the acts that are scheduled to play here: http://www.mountainwinery.com/EventCalendar.asp

Ahh I miss the Bay Area.
