  2. Waiting for wilco again. Liam just finished, much better than last night no unfortunate pants. EJ joined him on stage and so did Glenn for second chance, awesome version, totally went off!!
  3. No EJ! I'm a big Liam fan, have seen him many time and I didn't realise how much EJ added till she wasn't there. He was still good but he only did electric guitar, no drums which I really missed during Second chance. He was wearing the most unfortunate pair of pants... I mean they were really tight in certain places. I would rather not know which side he dresses to, but it's now seared into my brain. Still laughing at the guy behind me who said "if I had a daughter she could totally have sex with Liam Finn". Odd odd crowd.
  4. Just hot back, feet killing me but awesome show! I had a list of songs I wanted to hear this tour (I'm doing all five shows) and they picked most of them off tonight.

  5. I didn't go, and I'm waiting to hear from my friends that did. But what I do know is that there was no Finn jam, though they were backstage...
  6. http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/23460/Wilco.htm Wilco are one of those rare bands these days that are content to work a gentle arc into their career. There is no massive media blitz with their releases or tours, just a solid workmanlike approach to writing, recording and touring. The impression is also of a band with little inner turmoil now that the line-up has solidified over the last couple of albums and primary songwriter Jeff Tweedy’s frame of mind has grown more optimistic. Ahead of their Australian tour, bassist John Stirratt chats about how he is very much aware of the unif
  7. So you can find out gossip without having to talk to people you would cross the street to avoid... That best friend you had the falling out with in high school? Now you can see she that she really lost her looks as she aged. Whats not to love? I ADORE facebook. Yeah, it can be boring if your friends with boring people, but luckily I have funny friends who crack me up. It also helps new friendships grow. Many people I've stood next to at concerts and we've become friends on facebook, then great friends in real life. Without facebook we would have never spoken again. Not to mention the 45 co
  8. I agree.. in principle. In real life I was hoping to hear some new songs.
  9. Saw this in Herald Sun 25/4/10 (Melbourne paper). Triumph of the Wilco The last time Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy was in this part of the world was on a trip to New Zealand to collaborate with a rich array of musical talent as part of Neil Finns Seven Worlds Collide project. Tweedy, 42, says that working alongside the Finn brothers, members of Radiohead, KT Tunstall, Johnny Marr and a host of others made the experience one of the best of his life. It was so positive that Tweedy and band mates John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone, stayed on to record most of what would become the ac
  10. Totally off topic, but whoever first mentioned priceline and betterbidding sites THANK YOU!!! I'm planning my trip at the moment and had never heard of those websites, I've saved heaps. My trip is working out much cheaper than I thought, which are words I have never uttered in conjuction together in my life.
  11. I currently have a bet with another VC member who shall remain nameless. I betting it will be Neil solo, she's betting Crowdies, don't think anyone will bet on no Finn involvment. I would be happy with either. Going to see Crowdies on west coast for a few shows after the festival. Bring on August!
  12. You know I hadn't really thought of that. Compulsory rare gems... I like it! Can't wait!
  13. Would have loved an "evening with Wilco", but as a consolation prize Liam Finn is a pretty good one. Of course that means stupid Auckland will definately get a Neil jam. Stupid Auckland. Notice the second Melbourne show has now sold out. I'm also going to the Nels and Glenn show, though I'm not really sure what I'm expecting, but I guess you can't go too far wrong with those guys involved.
  14. I was wondering/hoping the same thing. No mention of a support on the website. I really want to see John on an upright bass.
  15. I think Wilcostock definately has a ring to it. Its what I'm calling it anyway. I'm stoked as I now have a friend from San Francisco coming accross for it. There's company in my ... side?
  16. All good here too, didn't need a US address which is good, fell into the dubious "other" category. Now I can go to bed!
  17. Since you have some Aussies going, its now an "International festival". Very posh. Anyone else travelling alone, rest assured, I will talk your ear off. I mean you'll be faking an urgent phone call just to get away from me.
  18. Just checking I have worked it out right.. tickets go on sale in 6 hours?
  19. Ha, can't believe there's two of us! Hadn't thought about the address issue... might have to quickly text a friend who has a sister over there. Pretty sure that makes it midnight tonight they go on sale here. I'm not letting a lack of interested friends stop me. I'm travelling with a friend who wouldn't even come when I offered to pay for her ticket, so she's flying home earlier and I'm relying on Wilco fans being friendly for company.
  20. Thanks! I notice theres a big arse gap between May and September in terms of touring, so I'm hoping some more shows get announced around then that I can pick up as I sight see (multitasking...)
  21. Just reserved accomodation at the Holiday Inn too. No one talked me out of it in time. Just doing time conversions to work out when the tickets go on sale, would Massachusetts be Easterm time? Thinking that makes it on sale here about midnight. Can't even pronounce the place!
  22. Oohh where's that article? I'm pretty sure Neil Finn is in the US then.. just wild speculation. Would it be horribly indulgant of me to come from Aus and do a Wilco/Crowded House tour of the US?? Talk me out of this people...
  23. Hell even I'm thinking about that festival and I'm in Australia. Where is it exactly? Nearest major airport?
  24. Caved and downloaded quicktime, work will get over it. But I still can't get it to work, it says connecting then disconnecting. Tried pushing play, still disconnects me. Sorry to be that whiney "mine isn't working" person...
