2 bouts of bad news in 2 days - first a couple down the street - the father was a pilot who died in a waterbomber crash fighting fires in BC a few days ago - left a wife and 4 beautiful girls. Then my next door neighbours from small town middle of nowhere die in a car crash last night in SK. So sad.. hard to process.

Need Wilco a lot tonight...

Bottle of red doesn't hurt either...

Is there an official list of acronyms for Wilco songs?

Why not the move to their own record label after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? Why so long?

Oh the suspense!

Look up Jian and Billy Bob Thorton - don't know what was said but dear old Billy Bob just walked out!

one or two?

Such a beautiful song - my current fix. I only have it from Kicking Television - pardon my ignorance but which album is it from?

My kids like Wilco as well, but also tend to favour Daddy's music over mine. Very diverse - From Lucinda Williams, The New Pornographers to Slayer. In terms of actual kids music, they like a group called Bobs and Lolo. Also, movie music is hot in our house - especially the Pink Panther theme and the theme from Jaws. (I usually chase after the kids like a shark!) As an aside, because of this my 3 year old son calls sharks "do-do's"

PS. And a decent view!

Where's "Radio Cure"?

Whoa! Y'all need to slow down. The best wilco song for lovemaking has to be "more like the moon" -- works best for the middle of the night. I would recommend "company in my back" for a lazy weekend morning; and "wishful thinking" is helpful on a warm sunny afternoon with the windows open.

 

You don't have kids do you... I'm jealous - just saying...

I must say I believe you totally missed Jeff's point here. It was a lover letter...a homage to John.

Perhaps I am in error - I apologize. Unfortunately I cannot replay the DVD due to multitudinous (sp?) playing/scratches to post the exact quote. While I agree it was playing John in a positive light, another line-up change might still be possible given the bands previous history of turn around.

In the Ashes DVD, during the segment on John, he talks about how the band could withstand one more line up change (as long as it wasn't John). Any thoughts?

How about Wilco shirts seen while out and about - went to week 4 of daughters art lessons wearing mine and one of the other Dad's was wearing his Wilco shirt.

I'll check that out, mine was about half a year later in the Vic. Jan 6th 03. He says to the audience: "If I do this, you have to help me". The next day of his residency, someone requested Mountain Bed again. The audience member shouts "We'll help with the words". Tweedy: "That's what you said last night and every time I glanced at somebody for help they were all [presumable does "I don't know" face]

 

 

 

 

What's a high-hat?

 

Sorry - I'm only about 4 foot 10 so everything is "high" to me...

 

 

YES! I actually never noticed this until about two weeks ago when I had A.M. on in the car really, really loud.

I was thinking it might be the only Wilco song with a count in - but there's also The Thanks I get... any more?

- the high-hat in Side with the Seeds

- any part of One By One - my current fav Wilco song (it changes weekly)

- the count in to It's Just that Simple

- What's the World got in Store - only lyrical use of the word "baby"? - plus the organ solo, kinda Blue Rodeo-ish.

Kamera all the way!

Good ol Newfoundland - I wish they would play there again. It would be awesome to see them in my home province!

I was trying to get my 5 year old to design a shirt for them that was a little more girly - she didn't like her froggy shirt anymore. It was a no go...

Nice to see a clip of Jay...

What's with the pimp outfit though?

Unrelated - but I miss the rugs... made it a bit more "homey"...

Although was not lucky enough to partake in "an evening with", I still hold in high regard any band that embarks on a tour through Canada in February. I was also quite impressed (and grateful!) that Edmonton was included. Still, I really feel that Newfoundland needs some Wilco lovin'. The Edmonton show was my 5-year old daughter's first concert, and I can tell you her highlights included having a virgin Shirley Temple in a big girl wine glass (not sure if as parents we are giving the right impression), playing on the escalators during the intermission, and the Califone song about the bride.

such a time-eater - I'm at day 2...

My wife is also married to one.

She loves it...I think

 

On an unrelated note, this is my first post on these boards...so hi everyone!

Welcome to VC!

Alright, let's talk soundproofing - we have an unfinished basement slightly furnished with various musical instruments, including a second-hand circa 1970's drum kit. We are thinking of starting contruction soon and this issue is first on my list. I know that when we insulate the ceiling downstairs that will prevent some sound from travelling upwards. Just looking for some ideas.
