Shakespeare In The Alley

You forgot to mention the Afghan Whigs. Highlight of the lineup for me.

how many more details do you need? it's tomorrow, and it's the same as all other wilco band presales. which means yes, frontgate.

there are few things scarier in the world right now than the fact that people support santorum.

wilco tickets have been shockingly cheap for a while now, so i wont be surprised if they start rising.

but they're clearly aware it's a total novelty item and theyre not making an attempt to bring back an format that died for a reason. i'd never buy one myself, but i think it's a neat idea, especially with the different covers and whatnot.

I'd like to see some sort of chart showing the relationship between the cost of Jeff's haircuts and the quality of his music.

I haven't paid for a haircut in years, and I haven't paid $50+ for a haircut ever.

I don't even think I've topped $15, tip included.

SBS is hardly Wilco's peak. I'd say they're still on an upward climb.

yup. TWL is good, great even, but it still doesnt quite feel like the best this lineup can do.

still far and away their worst album.

the real question is jeff or jay farrar?

my money's on jeff, because i dont think jay looks good with the facial hair he always seems to have.

oh no doubt glenn's a good looking dude. it's real close between him and pat, i just felt i had to reward pat's even more boyish cuteness. i feel bad putting john so low. he's got a certain charm that i imagine ladies find hard to resist.

how is it stalkerish? it's not like we're following jeff and co around chicago to analyze their hair product purchases.

i bet pat could, that fox

pat and glenn have great locks. they always do. definite champs right there. mikael has a good thing going with his hair lately. jeff looks good in a middle age greying way. john's is a bit too meh for my taste (though not bad either), and nels' recent hairstyle is just awful.

i dont think talking about hair really qualifies as invading privacy.

weird, yeah, but not invading privacy.

I would say I am a well wisher, in that I don't wish you any particular harm.

Excellent Moe reference.

ok?

talented singer writes catchy songs that appeal to most every market there is.

why are people so continually shocked that she sells records?

One of my favorite animated films ever. Not sure where this restored DVD will differ from the past restored dvd, but whatever. Great movie.

so you didn't mean to start this thread or bitch about the extremely reasonable responses it garnered?

How is this? Saw some unflattering Q-Tip comments about it, but I guess that could be a good sign. Lots of drama?

but that timberlake album kicks ass

i've listened through a few times. it's not blowing me away, but it's interesting. jay definitely saves his best tunes for son volt/solo stuff. i don't think you can compare this and mermaid. different beasts. i do like some of the production on this. also, listening to this, i think jay should start singing songs in a lower key. his voice kind of peters out when he sings tenor.

but these aren't his tunes at all

The opinion is that he's a better singer than his father with the lyrics being as good.

i've never heard this opinion. wouldn't agree with it either.

he's a talented dude though, and not just a second rate dylan kind of talented. his solo material's been solid, and bringing down the horse is full of great songs to hear on the radio.
