How much do I love The Daily Show?
I only caught about 10 minutes of it last night, but Dumptruck/Tube Symposium and There Goes the Gayborhood killed me. -
If it was my art I'd much rather see people give their honest opinion on something even if it's negative than a bunch of sychophantic yes-men (and women). That's probably why they play new songs live instead of sending out samples to the top 50 wilcoboard posters.
Yeah, because there's certainly no negativity coming from the top 50 VC posters! -
Happy Birthday Judy!

I would just like to point out the line-up for the Futures Stage on Sunday.
Fear of Music is my cousin Joe's Manchester-based band; they played this festival, as well as Oxegen in Ireland on Saturday. They're youngsters (Joe is only 18), and they're destined for greatness! Check 'em out:

just going by AD's website
Yeah, I know. Not trying to contradict you, just saying that it doesn't seem to be October for sure.
Edit to add: And, a Thanksgiving weekend AD record-release show, with The Stirratts and HWB also on the bill, would totally fit into my schedule. I'm just sayin'...

...or November 14, according to http://www.thestirratts.com

Olmert said he held the Lebanese government responsible for the two soldiers' safety, vowing that the Israeli response "will be restrained, but very, very, very painful."

Great doc, and I'm more than a little surprised to see the underwhelming response to it on this of all forums. I can take or leave Bragg, but Wilco is Wilco and Woody is an indispensible figure in American music/poetry/history. I thought it was very well put together and featured a lot of great performance footage.
I think the underwhelming response is probably due to the fact that it's definitely Billy's show. There's plenty of Wilco footage to hold most fans' attention, but for people who aren't willing to put up with Billy Bragg (or Nora Guthrie), I can see where it wouldn't be everyone's thing.
-
It might depend on your overall opinion of Billy Bragg, I like him, even though he can be a bit hard to take sometimes. It must be exhausting to be him, I would think, not to mention how exhausting it would probably be to be around him (not that Nora Guthrie seems to mind spending time with him
).I think the biggest problem with Man in the Sand, as a documentary, is that it doesn't really address what the specific problems were between BB and Wilco. You get this sort of rushed-through discussion of different mixes of the songs, general disagreements, etc., but nothing gets fully hashed out, as far as I can see.
But yeah, definitely worth it for the footage of the recording sessions.

Too bad I'm not a member, and that I can't sign up. No sign of either of the Alberta shows there?

I have no idea who created that little gem, but to that person, whoever you are:

Not exactly Jake and Ennis,
Hee!

We saw Colma: The Musical! the other night. It might not be as funny if you don't know the place (although I suppose every big city has its "dead" suburb, the town where all the cemeteries are), but since I grew up in the next town over (the characters in this movie went to my high school, had summer jobs in the same mall that I did, etc.), I got a great kick out of it. And a couple of family members made it into the "audience" shot on the blog page, which of you eagle-eyes can spot them?

Do you mean the Rare YHF Studio Banter?

I was picturing the scene across many parts of the east coast: junior in front of the TV chanting U..S..A..U..S..A.., whilst granddad spits and shuffles out to the kitchen muttering in the language of the old country.

I was bringing some visitors to SF through Chinatown the day of the final of the 1999 Women's World Cup. Chinatown bars aren't usually known for their rowdy crowds, but that day...

I didn't go to listen to Van Morrison last night as I wasn't feeling so good.
Sorry to hear it, Andrew. Hope you're feeling better! -
It's an open-air venue, so he was just over the wall. Sounds like a nice night out to me, particularly on a warm evening when you're not overly excited about the performer.
-
What a great show! I'm still grinning.
I lamed out and didn't go.
-
For whatever reason, I can't be bothered with the Court and Spark's records, but I do always enjoy seeing them live.

From there on out it was all about boxing out the blonde to my left who was also eyeing it.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

It was only a couple of months ago, and yes, people responded. This kind of thing is cyclical; people often thank the tapers in the After the Show threads, or in the comments section on the tracker. Just because no one hit this one, doesn't mean that lots of people don't appreciate the job they do.
