  1. Someone in the comments section said Ted Kennedy would have been President had he just driven a VW!
  2. I've read Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn. It was okay, a decent read.
  3. I mean absolutely no offense at all, but she looks like me but with hair and boobs. I apologize to Miss Cross on many, many levels.
  4. "You and I" at the grocery store today. Should we change this thread to: "Wilco heard while you're out and about, except at the grocery?" Obviously they are getting decent play-time in the supermarket industry.
  5. 1 woman, 1 car, 40 years. I love this part of the story:
  6. Fucking bullpens, man. They'll make you or break you. Every time.
  7. Every time I put it in the player it's on repeat for days.
  8. It's official: The Cubs have Ricketts.
  9. I have. It's hilarious! A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins is also great. That book was published 30 years ago and I still can't believe it's never been turned into a movie.
  10. You are My Face I'm not much of a sing-along guy but it just gets me the entire audience joins in on: I have no idea how this happens...
  11. I don't care what reasons Farrar has for doing this project. I am just glad he is. The two Jays in Tweedy's career will always be a tug-of-war for fans and critics. If great music comes of this then why should we give a fuck?
  12. Sometimes a person can only be in the mood for a certain kind of sound. You Are My Face is quite different than Either Way although they are on the same album. You can listen to the released album, but you can also create a different vibe by reassembling song orders to conform to a mood you are in or would like to create.
  13. A minute ago XM's baseball channel returned from commercial with a soundbite of former Yankee Jeff Nelson commenting on Andy Pettite. The background music was Wilco (the song).
  14. You know, English Street isn't a bad name for a band.
  15. While many people debate albums I have taken to making my own playlists/cds and the three options you are contemplating are three of the many mixes I've made throughout the years. I don't have them written down and many of them were done on my old computer, which no longer functions. If you can wait a couple days I can post them later if you want. Note: I haven't done artwork and I haven't added any songs off the latest album to any mixes as of yet.
  16. The Cardinals have given Tony LaRussa and Dave Duncan new contracts and his new hitting coach will be Mark McGwire.
  17. Rudy can only work with what he's given. The Rangers have a long history of drafting, signing and trading for impatient hitters. He has helped several players improve their production within their own style: DeRosa, Matthews, Byrd and hell, even Sammy knocked in 90 under him when he hadn't done it in three years. Until Andruw got hurt again this year he was improving, slugging over .500 and walking at a rate higher than his career average. His swing had become the laughing-stock of all baseball until Rudy made him work. His discipline is working to maximizing what you can do. Unfortunately he'
  18. They do the same thing in Asheville, NC on Friday evenings in Pack Square. It is a real cool vibe.
  19. If I were forced to listen to John Mayer at any volume I would squeal like Ned Beatty on the banks of the Chattahoochee.
  20. Not like it would make a difference if they did.
