Lefsetz has this to say (look up his blog to read the rest):

That's a hell of a day, right there. Two great albums at the same time.

About the same thing he said in the Relix interview years ago - they own the music, someone else owns the film, and from time to time they talk about it. I bet they want more money than the band/Rhino is willing to pay. I suppose if I want to buy one of the new Dave's Picks - I have to remember they are only going to make 12,000 of them now. I guess they really want people to go for the 100 buck subscription deal.

David Lemieux Chat (streaming) It's interesting that one of the very first questions was about the Sunshine Daydream film.

No - I believe in protest songs. I don't see Bruce protesting anything in that song.

It's sounds like a flag waving song, so it could be we will see those people who are into such things latch onto the song. Maybe not. It was just my first impression. I like Bruce songs about cars. And I like Nebraska. After that, I don't know.

I'd like to see this: Grateful Dead Exhibit Coming to Rock Hall of Fame

That song sounds like a song for Army recruiters or a Tea Party rally.

Wilco - iTunes Session

The description makes me think of a Steve Earle album. I also wonder if this is a solo album, or tracks he did by himself and then added on parts by the band. Bruce Springsteen Returns With Wild New Album

I read somewhere that album was recorded all live in the studio. The thing about some of those songs is the fact that the arrangements seem to go south some times. I am thinking of Hear About It Later - it's grooving along, and then there is that terrible breakdown part towards the end.

Well, the magazine is a far cry from what it use to be. I'd say what Nels really pointed out is the lack of research that goes into such articles these days. Or at least, the lack of fact checking. I often notice things like that in music articles these days. I never read Rolling Stone for political stuff. I read it for the music news, and the long interviews with muscians.

Bruce Springsteen's New Album: His 'Angriest' Yet

The album is already finished. Check the Jay Farrar thread in the Someone Else's Song section.

A new Neil post: At The Gate Of The Year I wish he would do a daily blog type of deal.

I'll take Quadrophenia over YHF any day. But, that's because I love The Who and Quadrophenia is one of my favorite albums. I have not bought the box though - can't afford it. I hope to get it someday. I suppose all the Wilco albums will get the De-Luxe treatment someday. That is one of the ways record companies keep the cd alive. I don't really see Jeff sitting around plotting how to re-release old albums though. At least not when they just released a brand new album.

At first I thought maybe it was a Firefox foul-up, but the spellcheck works in other places - just not here. Also - as some people mentioned in that other thread, the log-in does not seem to work sometimes. For me - it works at work, but not at home. I have to open the sign-in as a new tab in order to log-in.

I don't know if this is related, but today I noticied the Firefox spellcheck thing no longer works here.

I like what Chris does. And I agree - Rich's vocals have improved. Maybe they could get Trigger Hippy, and whatever band Sven Pipien is in, and do a tour all together. Ha ha ha.

It was on during the 1993-1994 season. I'd say Jay's take on the Woody songs is going to be pretty different than the Wilco/Bragg albums.

I know some of the popular songs - that's about it. He's just someone I never got into really. I did, however, use to watch the show The Byrds of Paradise.

I see. You would think he could get whatever Crowes fans there were over there to come to shows.

Several bands do that these days. But - I don't really get people wanting such things, when there are hundreds of AUD tapes out there to be had. And occassionally, a SBD show appears. The same with all demo tracks that people always seem to want - they are out there already. Maybe it's due to the fact that I spend so much time with these things - that I don't get wanting live stuff that you have to buy. I don't mind buying some re-master of some old band I am into, but for Wilco to start putting out such things would seem weird.

I saw this on Billboard.com this morning: John Fogerty on New TV Gig, Next Album, & CCR's Deep Rift
