I'm hooked. And now I'm trying to get my thumb to do what he does with it...

I love Mr. Moonlight and all of Beatles for Sale.

Nice job. I want to get my hands on an old Epi someday. I've got an AJ I bought a few years ago and it does pretty well, but I've longed for something older. I too have a thing for the Epi's...something about the headstock. I used to have one of these in high school, but have since become an acoustic guy.

As long as it's high resolution. Taking a web-sized JPG and blowing it up to poster size often results in a highly pixelated image.

I used to hate Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Really, really hate it. And then I grew to love it -- not by itself, but in the context of Abbey Road. And it just works.

Just finished uploading my most-frequently-played material to the cloud, about 18GB worth. Took about 24 hours to do it. And I've really enjoyed having all of the songs at my fingertips now from my work computer. My account was actually upgraded by Amazon to have unlimited music, so I actually haven't used any of my allowed 20GB quota. It'll cost me $20/year.

You mean it wasn't? Aw, man...I thought the cartoon face they drew on his gut would at least qualify.

I see what you did there. Mine is fine.

Now think if they played them all in sequence of release in a live set: Let's Fight I'll Fight I Might Hell, you could make a whole conversation with other Wilco song titles...

I remember a song called "Let's Fight."

When ticket scalpers die, whether they go up or down, they should have to wear headphones for eternity playing an endless loop of a mashup between the codas from Poor Places, IATTBYH and Less Than You Think over the rhythm of Spiders.

I like cheap guitars. I like cheap guitars.

MMJ on Morning Becomes Eclectic

Look at his avatar and his name. Then think of a movie.

That is a mellow opening to the first encore after closing the first set with Kicking Television and Hoodoo Voodoo!

I LOVE that ACL/PBS recording. That recording + AM/BT/MA era Wilco is how I got my brother interested in the band.

Oh I agree. Once Baseball Stars came out there was no turning back. My brother and I locked ourselves away in the basement to play long enough to buy one of those superstars with the $999,999 salary -- a figure so insignificant now -- and build up our own custom team. But the American Dreams did rule all. Enjoyed matchups with the brothers, one picking the Japanese team and the other playing with the Ninja Blacksox. MUST...FIND...NINTENDO... Ah, memories.

*NERD ALERT* Whenever I hear the name Dale Murphy, my first thought is always RBI Baseball on original Nintendo. He was almost guaranteed to knock one out of the park every time.

The musicianship on these are remarkable. I suppose it's the closest we'll get to hearing what it could have sounded like. But i hope you're right re: "classical" music.
