I miss those Jay's licks just after the first Jeff's 'uh uh' and repeated at the song end...

also superb writing and good compilations in the 'birds with broken wings' blog:

In the new web page, there seems to be no way that I can effectively request they play 'Far Far Away', or anything else, when they come Spain this autumn, the request keeps 'frozen' ad aeternum. Wilco webmaster, please fix that.

This is sounding pretty great.

Hmmm. That site says Scott was born on Jan. 10, 1939, not the year 1030. He was a remarkable guy, but not, uh....(doing the math)...932 years old! I'll correct the topic title for you, i'm only sleeping.
Rest in peace, Scott. I'll always remember the summer of '67, when your song was all over the airwaves, and my family moved up to northern California. We stopped near the Golden Gate bridge as we traveled through San Francisco, and as we took in the view, my brother Steve tucked a flower into his hair, crooning "San Francisco". Good memories.
Thank you for the correction, kidsmoke. Good memories, indeed.

even though I am a huge fab fan this thread has made me realize I actually dislike more Beatles than Wilco's songs

Did XXI century started in an odd-numbered year or not?

I'm a wheel. One, three, five, seven, nine!

His new album is entitled "Life is People"; Jeff Tweedy sings in one song

Paul has written some of the most enduring pop music ever. He seems to have slightly more material in the second half of their career. He also seems to be the easiest target.
Paul IS the target, but only by comparison with John (Ringo and George do not really count...).

Yellow Submarine I can kinda see, as it's really a kids' song.
But "Michelle"?!? For that bass solo, alone it is transcendent.
And "Yesterday"?
That must be a product of overexposure.
Yeah, sure, hearing them since 48 years back, maybe sometime I enjoyed some of them, though I doubt it. And I would apply them the same adjectives used by lost highway for TLAWR (bear in mind i'm not a native English speaker not lyrics are/were so important for me in my teens)

Michelle, Yellow Submarine, Yesterday.

Obladi Oblada.

I've never really liked Kingpin...until I heard the version in Red Rocks. A rock ceremony ritual!

Andy Partridge has just released a very XTCish collaboration: Wing Beat Fantastic, Songs written by Mike Keneally & Andy Partridge

An easy-to-find, downloadable (and legal, I think; admin: remove this if not) "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Tribute – A Box Full of Versions") record by Brazilian artists has surfaced

Amnesty International has launched a campaign to sign against these girls going to jail

Liner notes only say 'Mastered by Robert C. Ludwig at Gateway Mastering Studios, Portland, ME'. I guess none is remastered.

Thanks for all the info. Friday is my 50th birthday, and my wife and I will be at the show, but I know next to nothing about Rochester. This is helpful. We'll be there, and really looking forward to it.
BTW, I am in the process of stuffing the request box with "When You Wake Up Feeling Old". Feel free to contribute...

Congrats! Your prayers were answered (again)!

Purchased and downloading right now. The bait you put (Wilco/O'Rouke) was irresistible...
