This morning Lance was listening to Iron Maiden. Cadel Evans? "ABBA, on the radio." It showed. Another rider (forget who) twitted that he was listening to Wilco while previewing the TTT stage before lunch. Poor team Bbox!

So to paraphrase: everybody who's faster than you is doped up on EPO, and you're completely above suspicion. Got it.

I imagine the only thing you're going to win a national title for is blowing smoke up your own ass. But if you *did* win a national title, by your own logic that is proof that you must be doping, since by your own statements anyone who succeeds at athletics at any significant level is obviously using PED's.

It's a great song. It reminds me of "Something" by the Beatles or some other classic song along those lines. Simple and timeless.

Completely absurd. Your wild claims about the 2008 Tour riders are completely unsupported by any evidence whatsoever, except the desperate fingerpointing accusations of the utterly unreliable Bernard Kohl, trying to minimize his admitted drugging by claiming that "everybody does it." You're the delusional one, living in a fantasyland where by watching tv carefully you're able to successfully obtain positive drug tests for 200-some cyclists. Your opinions of Armstrong's success are more of the same -- speculation by the ignorant. The fact that you'd bring up his personal life as evidence t

So he's presumed guilty because you don't like his looks? I wonder if George Washington was on steroids when he crossed the Delaware? (I read that he never passed a single drug test!)

Funny, he's never tested positive for any of those things. (And they are apparently pretty easy to catch).

(from his Twitter): "Obsessed with this new Wilco. It's on heavy rotation. At this rate, I'll be burned out on it in a few days. Gotta back off a bit." Keep on truckin', Lance!

1. Summerteeth 2. Sky Blue Sky 3. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 4. Wilco (the album) 5. A Ghost is Born 6. Being There 7. A.M. Too early to say where WTA will end up... it could go up but I doubt if it will go down. A Ghost is Born used to be my least favorite but hearing great versions of numerous songs from it live I came to realize it's the production of the record I dislike, not the songs. (To me it sounds like "Wilco in an Anechoic Chamber" (ironically enough, given the lyrics to "Hummingbird"). Summerteeth will always be their masterpiece to me...

July 14.

A few of us here listened to the concert over the internet from Wilcoworld. The connection was choppy but the band sounded great. Unfortunately the webcast went completely dead in the middle of "Spiders" and never came back on. Also, we were simultaneously checking out some live photos of the concert being posted to Twitter. All in all, a thoroughly postmodern listening experience. (There's a thread here in the "Just a Fan" forum devoted to the event if you're interested in reading 15 pages of internet users clapping along on their computers.)

I just got a txt message from a friend who's there... final encore was: I Must Be High Outtasite (Outta Mind) Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Pink Floyd cover) I kid, I kid. (But wouldn't it be great?)

Hopefully they will post the uninterrupted recording on the web so we can hear the end eventually.

Here's what we're missing: http://twitpic.com/8nm5q/full

Complete radio silence in the middle of Spiders. Epic fail.

I'm not real fond of it.

Haven't played much (any?) from Being There and A.M. so far.

Apparently they don't know we're listening down here...
