hey, I know that dime has shared two different torrents of Wilco's last ACL show, but I was wondering if anyone had the capability to capture just the audio and share? I know this happened with Wilco's 2004 show, but wasn't sure if there was anyone who had the abilities to do so and if anyone else was interested in getting their hands on it. if not, no worries ... just would love it if anyone has it.

I've done the Wilco only mix before, but some of Billy's songs (especially on the first Mermaid Avenue) are so beautiful that those mixes have sounded incomplete. Personally, I love the following Billy songs: Walt Whitman's Niece Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key Ingrid Bergman The Unwelcomed Guest Also, Birds & Ships is absolutely essential for me to get the complete "Mermaid Avenue" experience, so there you go. When I did do the Wilco only mix, it was tracked in the following order: 1. Airline to Heaven 2. California Stars 3. Feed the Man 4. When The Roses Bloom Again 5. Hoo

any chance of sharing your 5-20 webcast?

I always try to have exactly two albums by an artist or group. That way, if you really get into that artist, you can follow-up with a second CD. However, after two albums, I try to switch gears not only with artists or bands but also with musical style or genre. I also lean on Greatest Hits and compilations for road trips. With that in mind, I had roughly 20+ hours of work related travel this past fall and here is a list of albums I find myself constantly listening to while on the road: Wilco: My most recent live stuff at the time. Josh Ritter: The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter &

Could someone please capture it and then share it?

I appreciate you stating what you need out of this issue - it just may be different than what other people need. I can cite both family and spiritual leaders and/or advisors that I extremely differ with on what you may label "fundamental core point of view". I think you may be mistaken to believe that what has been cycled in the media is what the Rev. Wright preaches. In fact, if he has been a pastor for 30+ years, I suspect he has preached on hundreds if not close to thousands of different topics, both theological and political. It is not as though Rev. Wright preaches this same topic or

you know your friend's musical tastes better than me, so I have no problem. I make different Wilco mixes for different friends, and they are always 2 CD mixes.

anyone with the capabilities planning to capture and share? I would be grateful!

Was wondering if anyone captured the last night of the residency or the 9:30 Club that was streamed the following week. Just wondering.

Just when I thought I might accomplish something at work today - along comes this ... Well, here is my gut reaction (because I really need to get to work): 1. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited 2. Van Morrison - Moondance 3. Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin' Simon 4. Neil Young - On The Beach 5. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks 6. Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding 7. Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue 8. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 9. R.E.M. - Automatic For The People 9. The Band - The Band 10. Nick Drake - Bryter Layter 11. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home 12. Neil Young - Everyb

I have two girls myself, and I'm trying to get a head start with their taste in music and potential song selection. I use to sing "My Darling" to my firstborn when she was still in her mommy's belly. Her current favorites are Apartment Story by the National (she calls it "Pin Your Flowers On"), Walken, and Hanna Montana's music. Hey, she is still 5 after all. And you're right, I'm going to be a wreck should I be fortunate enough to experience my daughters getting married.

We danced to Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately". Probably cliche, but tasteful nonetheless (and I love Van's music). My wife danced with her father to Louise' "What A Wonderful World". He had 3 open heart surgeries prior to our wedding (the first when she was a teen), so his presence and participation was monumental to everyone, and their dance together was probably the highlight of the reception. He died about two years ago (seven years after our wedding). If they have a strong and healthy relationship, I have found that the father/daughter dance is a much more meaningful and sign

I'm assuming that your cousin asked you if you'd marry them? Also, though you mentioned she is not religious, is she getting married in a church or a religious center for worship (temple, mosque, etc.) The reason I ask is that if it is at a religious center, you want to be sure that whatever ordination credentials you obtain will be recognized and accepted by them.

I won't hold my breath -- but hope is a good thing. Thanks for all your work with all your recordings and matrixes. Your shows are all A+.

WOW!!! This is incredible news!!! It just made my week!! Anyone know whether or not more SBD Matrix mixes of the Residency shows are on the way?

I was at summerlong camp and there were several people with similar names (Jonathan, John, etc.) so we all agreed early on to come up with appropriate nicknames. A couple of days later I was talking with a group of guys about television programs we watched as kids. I flippantly mentioned C.H.i.P.S being one of my favorite shows growing up. One guy immediately designated Ponch as my nickname. When I asked why that had to be my nickname, he responded, "Because C.H.i.P.S took place in Southern Cal. and you go to school in So. Cal. and Ponch was Hispanic and you're Asian and that's about as c

three wilco shows in the carolinas, my wife isn't going to be too happy when she sees our credit card bill!

I appreciate those who have responded to my post, especially since they are of the opposite opinion of me. I really do appreciate their willingness to stick to their guns. I'm not really going to flood the board with back and forth simply because I too am sticking to my guns and just have a different perspective of it. It just seems as though a lot of emotion and passion is invested in this argument and probably most people are already fixed in their opinion. I guess to each their own. I personally just don't get the big deal. That's all. I personally don't think it has anything to do with m

Does providing a little perspective amount to 'kool-aid drinker and VC jonestown?' What is the fair criticism here? I don't get that. They are a band, they are a business. You quote Kot's book. Does this one event really say to you that they are intentionally sticking it to you? Is that what you believe? Does every decision by the band have to be a gesture to you that they need YOU? Or is the problem that you need them more than they need you? I can understand people being disappointed. I am partially understand people being hurt. But a lot of things being posted here seems to be sp

The inability that some of you have to get over it shows a lack of perspective at best and a neurotic and narcissistic tendency at worst. Some of you certainly view yourselves more highly than perhaps the band does, and I got to side with them. Get over yourselves. I don't get to go see Wilco this weekend. That sucks. I took time off of work, I made personal and professional arrangements to get away for a long weekend. I made reservations at a nice hotel in the middle of the historical district. The August date is actually a very hectic and busy time for me in terms of my job. You know

If I was Jeff or anyone else in the band and I read some of the posts regarding the Charleston rescheduling, I might cancel the August show altogether. Get a life people. I'm sorry, but Wilco owes the people of Charleston absolutely nothing (or those that were coming from out of town). "Half of it's you, half is me" ... so exactly how have all of these pissy fans contributed one-half? I'm interested in hearing how one rescheduling of one concert constitutes such absurd levels of backlash and cries of sellout. All Wilco does is stream many concerts for free, do charity concerts and then

"and the tree was happy!" i read this to my five year old probably once a week.

My wife and I are going. Haven't nailed down our hotel arrangements yet. We're staying until mid Sunday. I've never been to Charleston before. Thought I'd do some touristy stuff on Saturday. Any suggestions?

While I agree with everything kimcatch22 has stated (and for the most part, everyone has contributed well to this topic), I must chime in and add my $0.02. Maybe "hate school" was a bite harsh, so can't we move past that and get to the real issues at hand. First, as someone who works at a graduate school, has one masters degree and is hoping to start a second, not all teachers / instructors / professors are equal. Some stink at their jobs and don't deserve their position. University professorships are also a privilege and we students pay an awful lot and should expect excellent quality.
