i've got tickets for the Boston show.

like all the Wilco vinyl releases, it sounds great.

I've been watching all the Life episodes and they are incredible. most of the time i don't watch much TV, as i'm either out seeing a show, or upstairs on my computer, editing photos. however, i've been thoroughly enjoying the Celtics and Bruins playoff games so far.

i'm a bit behind, but will get something up this weekend.

i'm way too much of a collector geek, and while 'completist' means different things to different people (to rabid fans, that would include owning a physical copy of everything single, LP/CD, promo, compilation, etc that that particular band has been involved with), i definitely fall under the spell of some bands too much. bands of whom I am a hardcore completist: Sun City Girls Hood Guided By Voices all vinyl from the Flying Nun label Kurt Vile Grails Jack Rose/Pelt Six Organs of Admittance Tar bands that i have a lot, though not nearly complete, discography of: Sonic Youth Billy Childis

maybe Nels can get his local friend Byron Coley to co-curate the noise part.

There ain't much to country living Sweat, piss, jizz and blood

thanks, i was wondering what was up.

Frankly, Mr. Shankly (The Smiths) oops, i see i am a bit late.

who's driving this ship? should I just make a mix, upload and share the link?

Pavement was never a fantastic live band, but the setlists from the NZ/Aus/Japan shows have been amazing, and if you are even a cursory fan i would think it would be worth seeing them. i highly doubt it's gonna happen again.

all you need is a computer close to yr stereo (laptop is obviously easier), a 2xRCA > 1/8" coax cable, and some software (audacity is free).

people who eat in grocery stores

i can't believe that a couple of copies went for $150 via ebay...RSD is gonna turn into idiots scooping up armfuls of stuff they don't care about, and hoping to make some $ via flipping on ebay. i had heard that some stores had 1 copy per person rule in place, which makes some sense. i don't think they should advertise the pressing size, personally. if someone doesn't know how limited something is, they may not make arbitrary purchases, and fans will be able to get 'em.

maybe Neil Hamburger will be part of the comedy...

8 LPs? damn, i only got 4.

i heard that the Joy Division box was $250.

but their Beach House 12" download wasn't ready for today

i've never even heard of it. JP is a real PITA for me to get to, so i rarely get there.

well maybe they are hoping that the draw of certain titles gets people into the store, but if that title is sold out, then the person might buy something else. maybe even something not RSD-related.

they cover Iron Maiden's _Powerslave_. another man's done gone how to fight lonliness theologians kamera just a kid monday outtasite(outtamind) i'm a wheel i got the last (only?) box @ the store today. the friendly policeman hired for security alerted me to it after i was talking w/ someone and mentioned i'd not seen it. he is a fan and saw the Boston show.

agreed, this sounds fantastic. way better than the recording i snagged off Dime. thanks again!!

i am definitely going w/ a download link...i'm out on vacation next week, so i won't have access to my music in the time being...is there any sort of theme to this, or can we just pick what we want?

i think people are confusing '% of listening time' with '% of record collection' i can never devote a substantial amount of listening time to just a single artist, though i have been playing a ton of Wilco lately. but, $300 worth of records just showed up in the post a couple of days ago, so i'm digging into that (1st record i put on was a great 10" from a band called The Amazing, who has the drummer and lead guitarist from Sweden's Dungen...great stuff).

i think last year i got the Stooges 7", the Jesus Lizard singles set, MMJ 2x10" and later the GBV 12". oh, and the Wilco DVD. maybe one or two others. i scored one of the SY splits via their website. i just scanned through and there's about a dozen things i'd pick up...SY's _EVOL_, dum dum girls split 7", BMSR 2x12", hold steady LP, Fela Kuti 10", Wilco's KT, Stones 7", Hendrix 10", Strummer's _Streetcore_...definitely a good way to drop some $.
