Ghost of Electricity

Went to see the Replacements in the late 80s, my pockets stuffed with guitar picks because Slim was supposed to get to drunk to play night and Paul was supposed to ask for volunteers to take his place.

edit: sorry I lied. That didn't happen February 15, 1991.

Of course not. But I pay a buck a rumou, and you were the only one to come through. You've earned it. But then again you probably would've spent it foolishly anyway.

If you need a buck you should have asked.

You're late.

so i've been out of it in terms of checking out the setlists.  New Madrid? When did they start doing UT material again?

those aren't rumors.

Did he play "I'm the man who loves you?"

I heard that Jules and Atticus were spotted holding hands at a recent Livingroom show.

Who was playing?

Someone start a rumor.

new record streaming. i'm on the third track and so far it's good.

I wonder if this is a one off for old times sake, or if they'll be doing some recording too.

i guess it was but i was so put off by the first half that i didn't read the second

I have to admit, I saw "flash in the pan" written all over these guys last year.  I still don't care enough to buy any of their records, but I'm glad for them that they seem to have longer term prospects.

time will prove you wrong, i suspect (and hope)

Yesterday a someone asked me for a double entendre, so I gave her one.

Looks like we're getting a second record from these guys in 2014...

Now that's some good news.  These guys are on a roll.

my love for the band has waned due to all the inner band drama. but the music is still great. 

The univoice has been torn asunder once more, and so we will not hear the Jayhawks at their best (ever?) again.

Fear not, ye of little faith! Rest assured that the Wilco boys and Tony M. have in place a long term marketing plan a la Neil Young. The sunken treasure will be brought up from the depths bit by bit for years to come.  I'm interested in hearing some of the real-time album length band improvisations on songs that tweedy makes up as he goes along.

I agree with the Johnny Cash American Recordings with Rick Rubin. Sure it mostly covers. Who cares? Who cares that JC might not have been wholly aware what he was doing? It's the most powerful work of his career.  I challenge you to sit alone in a dark room listening to "The Mercy Seat" loud and not get shivers down your spine.

am i missing something or is there not a single one from w(ta)?  And if it is indeed true, when did that start? (i haven't paid attention to set lists in a while)

Just came up on youtube, so I've seen it. Once, so far.

On Fallon which I'm sure many of you know, but so is KEEF!  Will he play with the band?  That might melt my soul.

did Keef play?  I'm far far away...

Almost seems like old times.

Ironically Wilco's shows coincide exactly with the two dates the Jayhawks are in town  I might have to do one and one

Wait a second here look at those ticket prices $66-96!!!!!! WOWZA..I will be there but still last evening with Wilco I saw in Montclair was $40!

HA! I know which show Olson is going to:)
