I personally am not a fan. I would feel obligated to "friend" people I don't really care to talk to or to not talk to in real life. If you see an old aquaintance in the store and you really don't want to talk to them you don't have to and they won't know and no one is offended. If someone tries to "friend" you and you deny it...your now an asshole. I make fun of my wife constantly about her Facebook activity. Usually along the lines of "what did the girl two rows over and four back from you in 2nd grade have for breakfast yesterday". I think its super lame when people post mundane details of their everyday lives for hundreds of people to see. All that being said, my wife calls this Wilco Facebook and says its way dorkier than her Facebook...and she might have a point.

One of my pet peeves is when people make broad, sweeping generalizations about 8 million people.

In my 36 hours in NYC I saw a chunk of concrete hurled at our bus, a cab hit a lady, stop, and then run her over with front and back tires in an attempt to get away, and my buddies wife spit on and cussed by a crazy drunk. What stood out most were the people walking over the girl who got hit almost as if she was burdening them. Should I have a different opinion? If it makes you feel better I would be willing to say the exact opposite about Toronto. For the record I have never been treated with such hospitality as my friends and I were treated at the Duplex piano bar in Greenwich Village.

Daniel Day-Lewis in "Gangs of New York", perhaps my favorite role of all time. Weird considering I find the movie average.

What kind of n asshole asks a question like that?

 

One of my pet peeves is geting stabbed. This has only happened when I lived in the south, though.

I was once stabbed three times in one day when I lived in Honningsvag.

Southern hospitality is not a myth. I live as close to Ohio(the North) as you can live and still be in Kentucky(the South). Some stereotypes exist for a reason. I could drive 10 miles north, ask for directions and be told to fuck off. 10 miles south and they'll jump in their truck and say "follow me". I was in NYC once, it's a toilet. A really neat, impressively huge and busy toilet but a toilet none the less when it comes to common courtesy. Boston seemed no better. Chicago seems to have enough midwestern influence to out weigh the assholes. I guess I'm going to get blasted by any New Yorkers but save it, odds are your not the bad part of the apple.

Jeff solo 3/13 at the Vic. All requests, opened with Mountain Bed, sprinkled some A.M., even a Smog tune.

Care to elaborate?

 

It makes me lethal when my boss criticizes something I have done, I then explain her why I've done it the way I did (not in all, but in most cases quite sensible reasons) and think it is okay that way, and when she realizes she's got no more sensible argument to prove me wrong, she just says "well we don't need to discuss that now, do we?" with a false toothy smile just for the one reason to shut me up, no matter if I am right or not.

Just a joke

HYGIENE WISE: People who don't realize that wax accumulates in your ears and it needs to be tended to, people who don't realize 5-7 inches of backfat are exposed,long finger nails(2x for smokers),people that drink Mountain Dew all day, not a soft drink hater but the Dew and 6 Marlboros for breakfast really grosses me out, my dad's dandruff, outty bellybuttons,arm shavers, and Europeans.

When Neil Young speaks

When my two year old warns people she won't share her daddy. "My daddy...all day!" with a squeeze.

people who eat in grocery stores

[/quote

people who bring animals into hardware stores(home depot,lowes), what makes one think this is acceptable?

Doctors who demand or even prefer to be addressed as Dr.________ in casual situations. We were vacationing in Destin, Fla. last year for a week and a guy staying in the same hotel was wearing a scrub with his name embroidered on it around all week, I even boarded the elevator once and he was in mid story with a stranger about saving someone's life after an elevator accident...I felt I owed him at least a handjob or something but we I was only going up three floors.

So has anybody that pre-ordered thru the Kung Fu store gotten their boxed set yet?

 

Or even a notification that it has shipped?

 

I know I haven't.

Got a shipping notification from Kung Fu today. No tracking info yet, expecting it probably wed. or thur.

Somebody bought one of these on Ebay yesterday for $125.00 and Kung Fu will still ship one to your house for $70.00. Duh.

Love James Mercer but not exactly blown away.

I can't tell you percentages, but there's alot. And my Ipod does love me -- when it's on Shuffle, it does manage to bring up Wilco alot. One bad day, I put on Shuffle Albums, and it gave me Sky Blue Sky - yes, my Ipdo loves and totally gets me

There is nothing random about my random either.

I got my copy. No sticker or CD, but since the only reason I bought this was for those 4 thick slabs of vinyl, I am happy.

 

 

I got a phone call as I was checking out that a good friend of mine (the drummer in my high school band) died yesterday. Im not too excited about the box set anymore

sincere condolences...that sucks

advertisementSeveral British agents have been murdered and James Bond is sent to New York, to investigate these mysterious deaths. Mr. Big comes to his knowledge, who is self-producing heroin. Along his journeys he meets Tee Hee who has a claw for a hand, Baron Samedi the voodoo master and Solitaire and her tarot cards. Bond must travel deep inside New York, through marshy grass and on water as he completes his mission. Written by simon

James Bond is sent to New York to investigate the mysterious deaths of several British agents. He soon senses that there is a drugs link between the notorious Mr. Big, and Dr. Kananga, the secretive owner of a small Caribbean island. However, Kananga is not a man to be dealt with lightly, and the fact that his beautiful Solitaire has already been seduced by 007 makes matters worse. Written by Graeme Roy

When Bond investigates the murders of three fellow agents, he soon finds himself a target, evading the vicious assassins as he closes in on the powerful Kananga. Known as "Mr. Big," Kananga is coordinating a globally threatening scheme using tons of self-produced heroin. As Bond tries to unravel the mastermind's plan, he meet Solitaire, the beautiful Tarot card reader whose magical gifts are crucial to the crime lord. Bond, of course, works his own magic on her, and the stage is set for pulse-pounding action sequences involving voodoo, hungry crocodiles and turbo-charged speedboats. Written by Robert Lynch

Three British agents investigating drug smuggling are killed under mysterious circumstances. Each murder is linked to a Harlem crime boss, Mr. Big, and an international diplomat, Kananga. The British send agent James Bond to investigate. When 007 arrives in New York he is nearly killed by one of Mr. Big's hoods, but the attempt gives Bond a lead and he soon discovers a plot to flood the US mainland with a billion dollars' worth of heroin. Written by Dave Jenkins

Actually I don't do torrent or any file sharing, thats just my cd's and some itunes and stuff friends burned for me. I just always find myself reaching for a Wilco disc, or Loose Fur or smog or something. I probably only have maybe 5 live shows. I'm scared to do the file sharing, I'm not pc smart enough to not fry my pc.

Just wondering. I have about 190 gigs of music and I'd have to say at least fourty percent goes to Wilco and band member projects. Is this musically healthy?

Yeah, I got the email. I was happy to receive it though--I responded that I'd rather the box set ship sooner. I didn't buy it for the damn sticker.

I got the same email, but haven't replied yet, have they replied to your request to ship it now?

I just finally picked up Down By The Old Mainstream. It's definitely been getting a good amount of play since my purchase. The songs are excellent and the band is tight. I'm going to pick up Weird Tales next.

Weird Tales, 30 used copies on Amazon starting at $1.49 + $2.99 for shipping...can't beat it.

Dude - get the albums:

Could'nt agree more. All the albums are worth picking up. I actually got Blood on the Slacks a few months ago for $1.99 off amazon. They take 8 years off and come back with a flawless album like Another Fine Day, simply amazing but after all they are a "super-group".

Oh! When my girlfriend (or anyone really) says, "You pick!" regarding a movie/television/food/activity selection, and proceeds to nix every one of my choices. Don't ask someone else to choose if you're still going to retain highly-selective veto power.

My wife is constantly asking my advice or opinion on something and completely disregarding it often before I even answer her question. Another form of this is when she asks me how I would do something and then proceeds to tell me why it is wrong. I also have suspicion she likes to play Tupperware Jenga, you know when she puts the dishes away smallest on bottom forcing me to actually devise a strategy when reaching for a dish. Another great kitchen game in my house is walking across the kitchen floor barefoot and trying to guess what type of food I just stepped in that the kids decided they were done with. Apparently my lovely wife also thinks the dish towel is just a big dish rag that you can chuck in the sink and contaminate, it doesn't dry things very good when it is completely saturated with old food and milk...I feel better. Besides the kitchen I love her to death.

Ships thursday right? I keep walking by my record player and making sure it's ready...it is.
