  1. I totally concur -- "Wilco ex Bandmate sues frontman Tweedy" gets more headines then "Disgruntler Musician Sues Production Company and Record Lable." But -- it would soooooooo suck if Jay was right and Jeff was a total douche. It'd break my heart if Jeff was an asshole.
  2. I love the online tickety buying experince, especially the older I get the less inclined I am to wait in line for hours just for the ticket. Arriving three hours before the doors open to secure an ideal spot still works -- although after Mccarren Park my knees hurt, my hips hurt, my feet hurt, my head hurt ...you get the picture. None the less, I will be at Duchess Stadium on July 18 @ 2 pm Also - I've a regular 10 am meeting at work -- so occassionaly my co-workers will hear "GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES" -- and they either get a happy or sad Barb, depending on my seat. .

    WILCO

    Friggen hysterical! Jeff looks pained. He should get his prostate checked. Or is he impressed with Nels' "Tweedy".
  4. Peter Buck and jeff Tweedy on the same stage -- breaks my heart to miss that.
  5. I saw him a few years ago in Jersey City -- and I was surprused that I was one of the few adults there not in a chaperone capacity. lot of swooing girls and tees boy with a Conor Oberst-like hair cuts
  6. I can't believe I have to work that night. I'll be at some darn "networking" event schmoozing with insurance agents (yuck) in Manhatten while my boys are rocking in Brooklyn. Bullocks
  7. So-- the tickets for the Lowell and Wappingers Falls shows are commerative? I've never seen this before. Is it the Nels Cline rookie ticket?
  8. All I can say is -- dear god in heaven, please don't let the NYC dates be july 12-15 -- I've a conference I have to work at. It's in NYC, but I have a feeling my boss won't be too keen on me leaving early to see my boys. Especially for a General Admission show when I have to get on line 3 hours (at least) before the doors open. Please pray with me . . . not July 12-15, not July 12 - 15, not July 12 - 15. PS -- The Wellmont in Montclair would be great. I saw Morrissey there and its a cool venue (and just - according to google -- 18 minutes from my house.) Speaking of Morrissey -- he can
  9. [i was wondering who this mignulikz was and why he/she was sending me dirty pictures.
  10. So -- my wall at work is covered with photos I've taken at Wilco, Robyn Hitchcock, and Minus 5 shows, or photos of me with Jeff, or photos from the site that I like (e.g., the one with Stephen Colbert). Today, I was taking a brief mental break and gazing at my gallery when I notiched that Jeff's wearing one of these four articles of clothing in each: that wool hat (which I assume is his woobie); the short, blue jean jacket; the either black or dark blue hooded, zip-up sweat jacket; or the black button down shirt -- and various combinations of each. And I relizeds two things: Someone nee
  11. Those kids were great -- how about the little boy with the shaved head in the back. He looked like he would have rather been any where else but there. And the girl with the page boy hair cut who yawning. Jeff and Pete were good, too.
  12. That dressing gown was alittle short. Almost got to know Jeff alittle more than I'm comfortable with. Too silly for the song.
  13. Impossible Germany -- end of the instrumental part when Nels, Jeff, and Pat all play that same riff -- kills me. That's one of the songs that always takes me back to a live show. Via Chicago -- at the end, when his voice sounds like it's gonna break on "I'm coming home." Poor Places "Someone ties a bow in my backyard to show me love" Walken -- that guitar bit towards the end that's preceeded by Glen coming in strong on the drums. And the slide guitar after "I was singing this song about you." Non Wilco -- opening chords of REM's "So. Central Rain." Scary piano at the begininng of "Wh
  14. Big Bear and the Angry Chicken
  15. Remember that crackle when you first put the needle on the record? When you saved and saved for that one album, and when you finally get it, it's a whole ritual -- removing the plastic wrapping, reading the liner notes, looking at the pictures -- and in the best circumstance -- PRINTED LYRICS!!!! And the crackle right before the music starts -- I've got butterflies in my belly just thinking about it. What I don't miss is being shaken out of the music induced coma to turn the record over. Is it nostalgia for vinyl or just nostalgia for our youth -- when every record, every sound was ne

    I've a hummingbird on my back hip. I did not think my favorite song (I Am Trying to Break Your Heart) would translate into a graphic image (a little guy aiming a sledge hammer at a big heart?), so I went with a hummingbird. It has more than one meaning -- it's kind of my ode to Wilco, and in memory of a friend who passed away. Side Note: I did offer to show it to Jeff, but he demurely declined. It's not in a dirty place, I even showed my boss and my mom. It's no where close to anything tush like. I guess he's just a good egg. Or he did not want to puke at the unsightly overhang which is
  17. I'm going. I've never officalially met anyone on this site, but looking foward to introducing myself. And, boy do I need this! I'm beginning to realize that I work with some realy backstabbing jerks and I feell like I have to watch every step if I don't want to get trambled. No need to replay, just needed to vent. Whoo-hoo, JT Solo in NoHo!
  18. This interview from the Birdge School Benefit may be out there ready. It's nice, but I'm still amazed that his dang hat still holds it's shape. It's like the super hat. (I'm totally obssesed with that hat. Does he)
  19. I like Heavy Metal Drummer -- it just makes me happy. And I may be out of the loop, but don't know Bon Iver. And I do like Sun Volt -- I just can't listen to an album all the way through cos his voice annoys me after awhile. (Same thing with the White Stripes -- I like, uyt after awhile his voice gets to me, too.) Oh well, everyone's entitled to his opinion.
  20. I was listeing to Robyn H before Wilco . . . before Minus 5 . . . before REM . . . since Globe of Frogs in 88. He's tremendous. Sundance will also be showing a film of his recent I Oftern Dream of Trains tour -- which should be fantastic. RH and the V5 also have a date at Irving Plaza in NYC on April 11h. These are excellent shows -- these guys may be thinning on top and widening in the middle, but they sure do kick ass. Good ole RH still sounds amazing, and there's a real joy onstage-- they really do enjoy performing together and it makes the show that much better. Seeing Peter Buck in
