here's a combo that could actually work: Mikael (keys) Gruff Rhys (voc/gtr) John (bass) Jon Wurster (drums)

Pat and his hair count as two members.

in a related story, we brought two kittens from MSPCA home today. they are not socialists. at least not yet.

Pat Sansone and Merzbow

i caught 'Oh Comely' live on the stream last night. it was pretty awesome.

was fortunate to have seen the man play three times...he was a master of the form, with a dry wit and compelling style.

MMJ's It Still Moves is ridiculous...wtf is w/ that hideous bear?

the fact that you've limited what you think is a hypothetical situation to only 10 discs says it all about your credentials to properly judge this sort art form.

holy crap, Pearl of the Quarter and Boston Rag! kicking myself. well, tonight i'm gonna see Swans and Sir Richard Bishop and Wovenhand.

sounds like you need to build the Prog Rock Hall of Fame.

i read that Steve Albini bought as much tape as he could afford to when the last US plant stopped making stuff.

report back on their setlist...i was interested, but in the end it was far too much $$$.

shoulda been @ SSF#1

hmm.... "Ashes of American Songs"

Here's my review and photo gallery: http://www.prefixmag.com/photos/stephen-malkmus-and-the-jicks-holy-sons-royale-pic/

i gotta write my review of the show tonight, but it was a great one...definitely go see him on this tour.

but are they REAL FANS?

autumnteeth, i think you are over-thinking things...spin the clock back 20 years ago and a band the profile of Wilco would easily be playing arenas. the fact that they are playing ~2-3K theaters means that tickets are in more demand. and do you think 'real fans' never buy off stubhub or ebay or the like? how did you get to that conclusion? maybe they got shutout like everyone else, and wanted to go to the show regardless. maybe the true answer is to do a dutch auction on ebay for every single seat. then the market would decide. but i'm guessing the average price would be a lot more

it lengthens their tour 2-3x...so i doubt it'll happen. sure, there've been residencies by bands before, but not extensive tours built around multi-date stops at each city. just booking it would be a nightmare in terms of avoiding conflicts w/ other band tours.

maybe they should work "Devil Went Down To Georgia" or "Flirtin' WIth Disaster" into their live shows.

Steve Malkmus + Holy Sons. rather great show!

well here are the stats from Boston in terms of songs played from LPs: 1 The Whole Love (7) 2 A Ghost Is Born (3) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (3) 4 Being There (2) Wilco (The Album) (2) 6 A.M. (1) Sky Blue Sky (1) Summerteeth (1)

looks like leftovers from the Animal Collective Crack Box set.
