The High Heat

In the current late night crowd, Ferguson is hands down the best. The "pre-monologue" became necessary when CBS decided a commercial break three minutes into the show is what viewers want (according to Craig and his chagrin). Before that he used to do a ten minute stand-up routine every night. Most of it was self-effacing, topical and tightly wound, which made it fantastic. His monologues are still very good, but CBS made him cut it in half. I used to love Letterman, but he has gotten stale. Leno was funny when he was on once or twice a week twenty years ago. I don't bother with Kimmel and e

Jose Offerman has flipped his lid again.

OP. I haven't read it. As a music fan I'm afraid of the effect it might have on me.

Handshake Drugs is hot live, and if the sudden crowd participation in the performance of You Are My Face doesn't affect her than she's more of a loner than I am.

Condolences to you and your family. (I must say I do find it odd that the funeral home is playing the same kind of music the supermarket is playing.)

You haven't been reading The Catcher in the Rye, have you?

When I tried (and failed) to buy Wilco tickets for the upcoming Philly concert Live Nation flipped me over to Ticketmaster when I clicked the "Buy Tickets" button, so they've already been working together for awhile. With the overwhelming number of ticket purchasers using the internet to secure tickets, why don't the venues just sell their tickets themselves on the net? I'd rather pay them a S&H fee than the outrageous fees we're paying the middlemen.

The guitar is the most over-rated musical instrument.

You just blew my mind!

If the fruit of a song is the number of versions, then Kamera is the fucking answer.

And take The Eagles with him.

This thread is prolific.

Mr. Poon is correct as far as album releases are concerned, but since Wilco never plays the full version of Less Than You Think in concert, the most prolific live song Wilco has is Spiders.

There are still about 5 teams worth of free agents available. The independent leagues should have lots of familiar names this year.

Right on! I was logged in right before ten, searched for tickets as soon as the "Buy" link appeared and still got nada.

Bono can do both, but I'd bet alot of fans that attend regular U2 concerts wish he'd do them seperately. I know I wouldn't want Jeff Tweedy chirping on about his politics and causes at a Wilco show that I am attending. I want to escape the world at a show, not fix it. If it ain't a benefit, stick to the music, please.

I noticed the second line of your signature and I figured I'd just say, "Hello."

Usually it's weeklies, but in this case it's weaklies

Does the stage rise up on a hydraulic jack?

John Mayer

Seconded.

That was a fantastic show! I was there, too, and I'll be at the Durham show as well.

Agreed. Enjoy your day, sir.
