I saw an episode. I was impressed. But it might be that I was remembering how funny nbc's ED was

I didn't realize there was a huge divide. I always found the indie world being divided between people who love wilco or look down on them for whatever reason. I have never heard a good reason so I can't give examples. And also for radiohead I have always found them to be like Johnny Cash or The Beatles, in that they have such a weight to the name and their work commands respect, even from people who hate the style of music.

I have a few: The intro riff to "Impossible Germany" kills me The simple piano notes at the end of Chinese apple The Piano intro to "Scythian Empires" just gets to me, the notes seem so depressing then the songs shifts into a brighter offering. The bended note on MMJ's "Run thru" the sax riff right after the spanish style solo on Morphine's "Bo's Veranda" (at :47) The intro to "Idiot Kings" by Soul Coughing and the blaring sample during the first few lines (WAHHHHH WAAAAAHHHH) The solo Jeff has on the Sunken Treasure version of "In a future Age" (at 2:00)

I Just picked up a soprano uke at this old music shop for $30! I am in love with it. I have been learning chords from the interweb (I picked it up fine after a few years of playing guitar). Here's a site I hope you enjoy, I learned "You've got a friend in me" off it. http://www.alligatorboogaloo.com/uke/tabs.html

Just Recently I missed out on Citizen Cope solo acoustic in an old theater. He's one of my biggest influences and I feel as though seeing him play would be a life changing moment, as was when I saw wilco on a pier.

Well put. I do feel that pain does make you realize yourself, where you stand, But it should not be relished.

It is said that people must suffer for their art. That depression is both the burden and inspiration of art. Thoughts? Personal Experiences?

You wrote it? Sorry. That's how I read it the first time. It would be cool though.

Miles Davis was a genius, but a jerk. He walked off stage when people clapped for a solo from somebody in his band. This was an interruption of his music and he stormed off. My grandfather asked for an autograph from both and he got punched in the face!

The show is pretty good I have to say, but nothing gets ruined faster then all your classmates catching on to the joke 4 years after, and only because of youtube clips which they don't even know is from a show. They really deserve the fame though. But it's kind of like their ambiguity was part of their mystique, you know? But then I just became one of the crowd members crying sellout, aren't I? Ohh the ways of following

Haha thanks for posting! It took me three tries to finally land the thing

Coldplay was booked. Oh wait! They're from across the pond! pop has flown the coop. Jeff tweedy has had dinner at Obama's house. There was a pre campaign "promise" in passing that if he ever got elected Wilco could play the inauguration. I say it's only fair Wilco has done some fundraisers for him, I know Jeff even hit the phones for him. Bono couldn't even vote.

Now that I think of it, I was playing with a friend of mine and he made a call on his cell phone and held it up to his pickups. Sounded pretty Sweet. Just saying if you forget the remote, most people have a cell phone on them. No guarantees, I just saw it once and thought I'd mention it. Good luck! (goes off to try it)

Surge? If not that then does All-Sport count? Goddamn do I miss that

Lamb Lies Down On Broadway- Genesis Skittish/Rockity Roll- Mike Doughty (technically two albums but when I bought them they were packaged together so I treat them as such) Neil Young Massey Hall 1971 Radiohead- Kid A Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Soul Coughing- Irresistible Bliss I've changed a lot. Or maybe not at all

Seriously, That was awesome! Generally when I hear a home made cover it basically comes down to the voice. Most people are great at their instruments (whch again is true here) but you can get out of playing as much as you put into an instrument. With a voice you can tweak it, increase your range, but you're glued to that one sound, your voice (cheesy as it may sound) is a very distinct instrument. Anyway, it means I liked it. The vocals kind of reminded me of Ira from Yo La Tengo mixed with some other local band's singer. Good Stuff! Post some originals If you're feeling zesty, I'd like to he

Wow thank you very much! I will try to join a discussion but usually I am intimidated by the SST seeing as how I don't have a clue about equipment. I was reading a thread about home recording and everyone was in agreement about the best whats and so's so they didn't mention them. I was like "Oh yeah I prefer the 64jq model the spf90000" and I ran away haha.

Now if I hear that song and nobody is throwing a guitar, I will be severely disappointed.

Thanks! Same to you! And I have found myself thankful for listening to wilco so much. I had a guitar when I was little, a toy one. But I didn't start playing until I came home from a wilco concert. I knew I wanted to be a musician all my life but never knew how, it was fuzzy. Some kid dream. But that day everything made sense. I listened to all the songs on my way home (Long drive home from phily) and picked up a guitar the next day and started learning everything I could. (Handshake Drugs was the first. D, G, F) a lot of wilco songs are great for beginners because they are a few basic chor

That whole song is one big 10:47 opener. Though it kicks. Haha I saw it live once and Ira just threw his guitar everywhere. I think it led into Nuclear war. So much sound!

This and some other posts on this thread are great. You can already sense inspiration in the paragraph. When you actually do it, more will soon follow. If I may add, everything you have been doing has brought you here. Now you know where that has taken you. You feel stuck, like at the end of something. Changing things up just like the above is it. You want different ideas? Live different ideas. Also, I was e-mailing Mark Amft a little while ago (of Drink Me...well, I wish I could say fame. They deserved it). And some of the best advice I've been given was he told me to not be afraid of doin

I saw someone mentioned orange crush. Kudos! Though orange after so many delicious variations I tend to pop tops with the Grape crush variety. Also, has anyone tried Boyland's? It's Great. I always get the Black Cherry but it's all in bottles and each variety uses pure cane sugar. There's grape, black cherry, cola, orange, orange creme, root beer, birch beer, ginger ale And I agree that ginger ale is underrated. I never think to get it, but whenever it's around I say "Hey it's been a while, you're not half bad. I'll get you sometime I swear." My dad kept giving me moxie when I was little

That's so cool that you met him! That band actually always seemed like those guys that you start talking to during intermission at a show, relaxed and friendly. Thank you. I got a little winded. For a second I thought I was too harsh on Durst. Then I took another listen...

How could I forget! Rhinoceros- Smashing Pumpkins okay It's a longer one, but For Martha- Smashing Pumpkins That whole song just builds until the Sick fuzz solo at 4:29 People hate on me for liking Barenaked Ladies but try out pre "one week" BNL: Gordon. Love that album, after that their stuff was either or. So I say the slow trumpet on "Hello City" is kinda fun or maybe the depeche mode sounding intro to "Enid" For Beatles aside from the obvious hard Day's night I love "Misterrrrrrrrrrr Moonliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!" Offstroke chords on "She caught the Katy" Harmonica intro on "Falli

It's been done I think before but most recently I heard it on a beck song: "one two, you know what to do" Mountain Bed, YEM is awesome. On That note "Dived Sky" is a sick one two. Once I learned those sliding chords It was the first thing I would play when I picked up a guitar. Makes me smile every time. On jam bands, how about "Spine of a Dog"- Moe. ? Back to wilco, that drumroll into "Side With the Seeds" just sucks me into the song. The silence is perfect, everybody starting at the same time. Cool Beans Lammycat I didn't think of "Once in a lifetime" Love that little bass slide.
