  1. I am interested to see what the reaction to this movie is going to be - I am predicting the same polarizing effect that Moulin Rouge had - some will love it, some will hate it, some won't get it.
  2. Anyone have a copy of this song from the Roadcase show? It is absolutely beautiful. Please help me out. Thanks.
  3. I was wondering if anyone has recorded the rest of the Duluth show from Roadcase and if so, would they be willing link some mp3's of the songs. I know that supposedly Wilcoworld has not posted the entire show, but what they have posted, i'd love to get a copy.
  4. Word on the street is that this winter there is going to be a new ipod where the entire front is a video screen and the menu buttons pop up on the screen. if the video function is important to you, you may want to wait until Christmas time. i've had my 3rd generation 40 GB ipod for 3 years now. it's just starting to give me issues (based on the amount i've used it, i'm assuming normal wear and tear). i love my ipod - i can only speak on their behalf. i think you would be very happy if you got one.
  5. Is she treating you differently since it all went down? I'm really curious about this. Has she changed to the point where you could honestly accuse her of trying to make you feel guilty? Or is it all in your head? I don't mean to sound harsh, but my first reaction to your post was thinking how immature you sound. Are you really in love? It doesn't sound like it to me. It sounds like you were in lust and infactuated and in love with the idea of being in love. But based upon what you are feeling and experiencing right now, I am a little skeptical - I mean, how could real and true love b
  6. so anyhow, yesterday i was at the dentist office for nearly 3 hours and over the course of the visit 3 Wilco songs were played over the office speakers, Hummingbird, California Stars, and What's the World Got in Store. It was very surreal to Hear Hummingbird as they drilled into one of my front teeth. I was wondering about everyone else ... where is the weirdest place you've heard Wilco's music played ... and you can't say a location where you or your friends played their music but rather an office, a business building, or something along those lines.
  7. I wonder how this came across to Lance, Justin talking about homosexuality with such disregard - so soon after he publicly supported his former bandmate's coming out. Seems weird to me.
  8. I really liked him as an actor. Very underrated. It's too bad. I hope more people here chime in on him.
  9. The show was fantastic. I brought a newbie and he really enjoyed the experience. To me, What Light sounded fantastic as both an opener and as an acoustic number. He basically sang it the way he's played it with the band (same key, not higher or lower). If the new material is more carefree and straightforward, I think this should open the album. The show was short and I was disappointed when he didn't come back for an encore with still 20 minutes before 11:00 p.m. What an unique venue and experience - a solo acoustic outdoor amphitheatre with the lawn only 50 feet away. I liked that I
  10. It's funny to call the Black Eyed Peas sell-outs because that would indicate at some point they were artistically and musically legit. Many may disagree with me, but I have always found them to be an industry product in the same vein as the Backstreet Boys and In-Sync, though not to their extremes. Did they ever have credibility in the community of musicians? I don't know. Maybe I'm way off.
  11. I can't wait for the next album. Personally, I think Jeff took the inward tortured lyrics as far as they could go for three straight albums - it's time to approach his lyrics from a different angle. Summerteeth - YHF - & then AGIB. That's quite a run. It makes me think of how John Wesley Harding was such a departure from Bringing It All Back Home - Highway 61 Revisited - & Blonde on Blonde. I find Jeff's lyrics to still be top notch, just not as cryptic. Much more straightforward and perhaps literal. To me, that's just as difficult - making straightforward and literal lyrics int

  13. what existing software or programs do you need for it to actually work?
  14. I'm talking about the webcast that is now archived on the Roadcase. Has anyone recorded it off their website, and if so, can you share an mp3 copy of it?
  15. I really love Paul Simon. I think he's one of the greatest lyricists of all-time. That being said, his recent shows (including his reunion tour with Art) have been pretty boring to me. I find that all the songs have been slowed down to the point that a lot of them lose some of the momentum. Nevertheless, that's a small complaint for a man in his twilight years as a performer.
  16. hello, i was wondering if anyone had a copy of the deloof show that is being posted on Wilco's roadcase? i have the audience recording, but i'd love to have a copy of the soundboard as well. i understand that it has not all been posted yet, and perhaps someone is waiting for it to all be made available before they torrent it, but I'm actually looking just for an mp3 copy right now of what is being posted. Can anyone help me out? thanks.
  17. I like AGIB a lot. I still listen mostly to the live concerts, but I appreciate the subtle nuances of the studio versions. They tend to be quieter and more delicate, where the live versions are more aggresive. That said, I'm currently listening to other stuff. I over listened to Wilco - I need some distance. Going to Jeff's solo show in Raleigh, so I want to wet my appetite for that.
  18. Is anyone going to make a Matrix mix with the audience recording as well?
  19. Someone can alway PM me a link and not post it in the forum
  20. I would be grateful if someone could post a YSI link.
  21. If you reread my post, you may catch that I was talking about putting Paul Simon above Paul McCartney, not Jeff Tweedy. My intentions more than anything was a shout-out to Paul Simon, not to elevate Jeff or diminish Paul McCartney. And, I'm no expert on the Beatles, but how many lyrics are undisputably (or is it indisputably?) only Paul McCartney's words. I tend to put them together for the Beatles catalog. Consequently, I would have difficulty putting Paul McCartney in the top five unless it was alongside his Beatles writing partner. That's all I was saying. Once again, in terms of cha
  22. Considering that Jeff is the youngest artist on that list, I think it speaks volumes to how the readers of Paste view his musical contributions and legacy. I mean, I've always thought Jeff was one of the best songwriters of his generation and was slowly making his mark with the all-time elite club, but to have so many others think the same thing - well, that's comforting. I may switch the order a bit here and there (and maybe add one or two others), but I really have no qualms about the other people on this list. They all deserve to be in the top 25. I'm glad that Paul Simon was high on t
