Demon Moving Forward

If I end up going I'll probably be there around 7 or so.

It's not so much the songs in the setlist as the order and placement of them. Airline hasn't opened since 2006 I think, and you never see Monday out of the encore unless it's a main set closer. When writing setlists, whether for my own band or as a fantasy for another band, I always take into account the flow of each song into the next.

Don't think this has been discussed here before. Anyway here's mine: 1. Airline to Heaven 2. Company In My Back 3. Monday 4. California Stars 5. Muzzle of Bees 6. A Shot in the Arm 7. You Are My Face 8. Kamera 9. Side with the Seeds 10. War On War 11. Handshake Drugs 12. On and On and On 13. The Late Greats 14. Pot Kettle Black 15. It's Just That Simple 16. Walken 17. Jesus, etc. 18. I'm The Man Who Loves You 19. Impossible Germany 20. Spiders (Kidsmoke) encore 1: 21. Hate It Here 22. I'm A Wheel 23. Heavy Metal Drummer encore 2: 24. Via Chicago 25. Outtasite (Outta Mind)

Jeff had a Facebook account?

The length of Wilco's set is a deciding factor in me going to the Spectrum show on the 12th. 50 minutes is a lot more than I expected, so I guess it's more likely that I'm going to end up going.

Is it bad that I find this hilarious? Either way, you can be assured that I am a completely benevolent guitar player.

It's actually a Frankenstein Tele made from a late 1980s Squier neck, a Warmouth body, and EMG pickups. I got it for just $425, but it plays better than a 52 reissue IMO.

I like to record myself playing random stuff on guitar/piano on Youtube, and today decided to give this a try. Feel free to share any thoughts, criticisms, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsbip98lB_g

I agree with every single word in this post.

Sweet, they're playing in Philly again! Neil is just a bonus, although he's brilliant too.

Sounds like a solid show, wish I could've made it.

Found one, need one more...

Well, I've found one ticket. Still need one more.

Anyone? Please?

I hate all of you who are going. Anyone have an extra ticket for someone who wasted a half-hour on the presale and an hour calling for the tickets and came out with nothing? Pretty please?

Anyone?

Good to see our boys getting some love from the W!

"Impossible Germany" is one of my favorite songs of all time. The rest of the album is pretty damned impressive too. And to think I was quick to label it as "boring" when I first heard it...

Hey, Justin, you're on here too? It's TWD from the pool! I'll have to check all of these out, thanks. Keep them coming, guys!

What do you think? The one from 2.16.08 (Chicago N2) is my favorite out of the ones I've heard so far, but I haven't heard that many...

Looks like missing out on Wilmington tickets is a blessing in disguise...I'll be able to see Wilco in Baltimore on the 9th and Dylan on the 10th!

GBA is sung occasionally, but not at every game. At the Phillies-Mets game last Sunday (which I attended) they had someone singing it but I don't think they had anyone sing it at any of the Phillies games I went to last year. Take Me Out To The Ballgame is sung at every game though.

I sent an angry e-mail to a scalper selling tickets for $150 apiece on Ebay. His response: "It's capitalism, baby!" Yes, but that doesn't make it right. I'm pro-free market, but there ought to be laws preventing things like this from happening.

I spent a half-hour trying to get presale tickets and a half-hour calling the box office. Both times I came up empty-handed. Could somebody please help me out?

You're a lucky bastard. You have 2nd row, and I can't go at all. God damnit.
