I second that! I completely expected Trump to comment on Rubio's "hands" comment at some point, but I guess I thought (hoped) it would happen at some rally, not at a presidential debate. Awful. I was shrieking at my TV when it happened. And as for Rubio, I think he's destroyed his career. He just comes off as childish to me now. Kasich is the only sane one of the bunch. Or does he just appear sane because the others are so nuts?

Wow, this is great! But I have to admit that I had to go find a video of it on youtube to convince myself it was actually Wilco playing this song! *laughs*. I couldn't recognize Jeff's voice at all! But yup, it's them! Terrific.

I agree. I thought it was a mess and didn't enjoy it as much as past Super Bowl half time shows. My friends and I also thought the commercials weren't up to par for Super Bowl commercials, either. The game was great though! I was happy to see Cam Newton shut down, and happy that Peyton gets another Super Bowl ring!

Having a few friends over, made a big pot of chili. Rooting for the Broncos. (though my team is really the Jets!)

And I was happy to hear that it is yet another basement recording. . I've only listened to it a couple of times so far, but I'm really enjoying it. Too soon to say if it's on a par with 49:00 yet though...that one completely knocked me out and I think it's one of the best things he's ever done.

Heartbreaking. The Eagles were a big favorite of mine back in the day, and I still love hearing those songs. He does seem to have been pretty unlucky with illnesses you don't often associate with fatality. RIP

Wow, just heard. Total shock.

Okay. Not even one word uttered by Luke Skywalker???? Really????

Loved it. I, too, teared up a couple of times. Disappointed in one plot point that I won't spoil for anyone, but overall I loved it.

Very late with this one as well.... Joseph Arthur, Dec. 11 in Lakewood NJ. This was a tiny, intimate show (50 people or so?) for patrons of a local public radio station. Very cool. He said he was leaving the next day to play a festival in India.

Wow! Thanks!

I totally agree with Oasis circa Definitely Maybe/What's The Story Morning Glory. Some of those b-sides are better than some of the album tracks! Calexico has a lot of very good non-album stuff, particularly covers they have done for tribute albums.

I really enjoyed this. I have never been to Solid Sound, but this film seemed to give a good feeling of the overall vibe, and it seemed like a great experience. No, it was not heavy on Wilco performances, but for sure the members of Wilco were the beating heart of this film. I cracked up at the scene where that guy was driving Jeff around and they were looking for anyone who knew who he was. *laughs* I loved the part about Glenn's buried drums and loved seeing all the kids bang on them. I loved the bird lady and her birds! I admit I did not see this film sooner because I was annoyed tha

Yes, there is a plain DVD release. It is $10 less than the blu ray set. I bought it as a Christmas present for a friend.

Loved it! I don't think I've ever seen her so natural and unguarded like that. Thanks for posting!

Very Interesting. I never heard of this band, although I'm very familiar with the other work by nearly everyone who was ever a band member. I'm not sure how I missed them. Thanks for posting that link. Sadly, after some further googling I learned that Michael Carlucci died suddenly about 10 days ago.

Just back from Luna. Great show!

At Radio City? I was there! I thought the show was great! That was my first time seeing them.

Why is Carly Fiorina even in the running? She is a failed executive at a company I gave 17 years of my life (Lucent/Bell Labs) from which she departed shortly before it imploded. And she was not very successful at HP either. She presents herself well but there is no true leadership substance behind the public face.

Worst possible situation: I have tickets to see the Decemberists in NYC on the evening the Pope is celebrating mass at Madison Square Garden, and I am coming into the city from NJ. I highly doubt I will be able to pull it off. If I had known about the Pope in advance, I'd never have planned to go to this show, but the Decemberists tix went on sale ages ago.

I am also John. No complaints... I'm happy with that!

I did, but have not yet listened to it. Some of the goodies in the tote bag cracked me up. (A basketball trading card? *laughs*)
