Yes - that and Country Disappeared both spring to mind. Interesting that most of the songs mentioned so far are from WTA - the most maligned album in the Wilco catalog (unfairly IMO).

Great album - best thing Neil Finn has done for years. (btw - Glenn plays percussion on one track)

Bill Payne

Van Morrison - live at the Rainbow Theatre 1973 with the Caledonia Soul Orchestra. The full concert. Amazing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iJc-d3cBUg

The Small Faces 'Lazy Sunday Afternoon' - just after Steve Marriott sings the line 'They stop me from grooving - they bang on the walls..' someone in the background shouting 'Fuck the neighbors!'

Great thread! Robert Plant shouting 'Gimme Jimmy!' just before Page's epic guitar break in Heartbreaker. Paul Rogers 'THIS ONE! THIS ONE! towards the end of Bad Company's 'Can't Get Enough of Your Love'' (clearly recognising they'd nailed it). Lee Brilleaux (Dr Feelgood) announcing '8 bars on piano!' midway thru 'Down to the Doctors' - followed by eight bars of no piano!

Raw Power - Iggy and the Stooges. Sounds like it was recorded by someone with a hand-held mic two rooms away. Worst recording I've ever heard. This is the original vinyl release. Maybe it's been remastered on CD?

That's why climate change is a more appropriate name. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases causing generally more chaotic and extreme weather events. Winter still exists. Cold air still exists. It's the patterns and trends that are shifting as the overall globe warms. The jet stream is altered from a relatively modest wave into a wave pattern of tighter frequency, pushing cold air into deeper "valleys" of the wave and warm air into higher "troughs" of the wave. In the northern hemisphere there are record breaking warm days in Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. In the southern hemisphere there a

What Brownie said. I saw Deerhunter put on a transcendent show a couple of nights ago - and right now they might just be my favorite band! By next week it could be White Denim. Wilco are always going to be something very special for me - but guess my days of having an enduring favourite band/artist are over.

I'm liking this new direction for Neil Finn. That KCRW session was good - but this one from his studio in Auckland last week is even better. Standout track for me is Dizzy Heights - the title song from the upcoming album - a delicious slice of blue-eyed soul (at the 7:15 mark).

Where is the option for "Special BB Code" when replying to a topic? I can't see it (then again, I do suffer from 'domestic blindness' according to my wife). Embedding youtube vids seems to work randomly for me. I thought it was something to do with selecting the 'enable HTML' option - but apparently not.

RIP. The fixed points of light in my generation's universe are going out one by one. Something we're having to get used to. Lou's responsible for the best and the lousiest concert experiences in my life : the best - playing Berlin at the State Theatre Sydney 2007 - totally transcendent; the lousiest - his no-show at the Wellington Town Hall NZ in 1975. Five minutes before he was due on stage the promoter came out and said Lou had some 'issues' and wouldn't be appearing - the audience shrugged and drifted off (next time he was in town he totally redeemed himself!).

Totally! Be interesting to see if the song enjoys the same big bump in popularity as Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" did after The Sapronos finale. Youtube hits already spiking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C53QAuOoSgc

Rolling Stone reprint their original damning review of After the Goldrush from 1970. Wow. Is it possible for a reviewer to be so wrong about everything? http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/after-the-gold-rush-19701015

Very sad. Don't know the circumstances - but 56 is way too young. Tough time for Jeff and the rest of the Tweedy family. Condolences.

Terrific doco. Thanks for the link.

Since someone bumped this old thread today: Didja Get Any Onya? - Frank Zappa

Yet another Rolling Stone list - this time the Greatest Live Acts Right Now. Wilco at number 12. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/50-greatest-live-acts-right-now-20130731

That may be true but worth noting that the Dave Matthews Band are very much a US phenomena and virtually unknown outside the US. By contrast Wilco have a strong international following and play to decent sized audiences throughout Europe, Australia, Japan etc - as well as playing a bunch of festivals most years outside the US. i'm based in Australia and Wilco have toured hear regularly every two or three years for the last decade playing packed shows. I am pretty sure that DMB have only come here once during that time and did not even sell out their one show in Sydney. So my guess is t

Great actor. Brilliant as the mob boss in my favourite movie Midnight Run.

Keith Richards absolutely butchering the opening riff to Start Me Up at their Hyde Park concert on Saturday. I know Ronnie is covering a lot for Keith these days - but this is just awful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_CtY_Ix5cQ

I smiled at these quotes on that Dylan board about Robillard's early departure from Dylan's band:
