Staff and the local artist community. Isn't that what the benefit is for? We'll see soon.

Well, the room is small. Could mean a quieter show or a very loud massive ringing in the ears show. But, they did rehearse for Solid Sound in there last year and those shows were normal Wilco concerts volume wise. I was hoping for a full YHF performance for the ten year celebration, but I don't think Tweedy is into that stuff. I hope it is just Wilco and no local opening act but I bet that is not going to happen. We'll probably have to listen to some avant-garde opening act to make the locals happy and then Wilco will open with that 12 minute Jane Smiley tune to put everyone into a really slee

Great three part documentary from the early 60's. It's a strange one for its' time and well worth a look. Part 1...

Doesn't Sean Lennon play with them? If he still does, look at the bright side, you'll get to see a Beatle son and maybe a Beatle wife in the crowd.

Just the first of many more I'm sure. I still go with my son and he's 25. We will be seeing Wilco for the 20th time together by the end of the summer tour. I take the wife every once in awhile but you can always rely on your kid to go when no one else wants to see that band your friends have never heard of.

Things we can still learn from Andy Griffith...

Thanks, just got two. July 25 is my birthday no less. Wasn't near a computer all day Friday or Saturday. Didn't think there would be any left. Five Wilco shows in 12 days, not bad.

Anyone get their tickets for Hartford in the mail yet?

Live Collection: Wilco http://www.covermesongs.com/2010/10/live-collection-wilco.html

I clicked on the mp3 link you provided for the Wilco portion of the show and my computer asked me what I would like to open the file with and I chose iTunes. After it downloaded, it automatically went into my iTunes. There it sits to be listened to over and over again. Try it. It should work or use the YouTube converter.

Militarism and Neoliberalism: Two Sides of the Same Coin Obama was elected president largely based on the illusion his policies would not substantially overlap with the neo-con thrust of Bush's policies, but would constitute a fundamental repudiation of them. Instead, Obama's finally managed to "rationalise" Bush's policies - in both a managerial and a propaganda sense - far more effectively than Bush ever dreamed of. Yes, the term "global war on terror" is gone, but the concept lives on, more unquestionable than ever by virtue of not even being named. Torture is out, but assassination by dr

Dawes, Infinity Hall in Norfolk, Ct. Show was filmed live for a CPTV concert series called Live At Infinity Hall. Great show. Great venue. Venue holds about 300 people. Highlight for me was When My Time Comes, Peace In The Valley and a great cover of Jealous Guy. They played for 1 1/2 hours with two encores.

Are people's freedoms being limited by the presence of or the threat of a military/police force? If so, it is a police state no matter if it is on the streets of Chicago or North Korea. Restrictions on the constitutional rights of assembly, protest and free movement as well as arbitrary searches and arrests are not expressions of liberty last I looked. I'm sure the intimidation factor is fun to experience as well. Rather than harass protestors and create a siege mentality in the city, why doesn't the media focus on what the protesting is all about? Expose the illegal wars being perpetrated by

The site I lifted it from said Chicago. My bad. I'm pretty sure this one is from Chicago. But does it really matter? All police states look the same to me.

I think it was from a practice drill from last week. They must have been expecting a run on the bank after losing $5 billion...

Hope you didn't have to go to the bank today...

Just there to protect the NATO war criminals. Nothing to see here. Keep moving...
