I think I read somewhere that on the new boxset, they used the original vocals were possible. I figure that is due to the fact they only overdubbed on the tracks that made up the original album. I figure the rest of the reels were put on the shelf. What was the second release from that tour? Hundred Year Hall. I have that one. I have not heard any of the new 72 shows.

It's the one called Classic Hits Radio. I think they broadcast from there. Although, I could be wrong. There are actually some great oldies stations in Pittsburgh, but I can't pick those up with my radio.

I think the one here is from Chicago or somewhere.

Anyone who thinks you, or The Owl and Bear do this to make money must be nuts. I know sometimes people get upset when people who run download sites ask for money - but - to me it is no different than a BT site asking for donations. And I have noticed that people don't seem to get upset about that.

There are some short but interesting videos being posted about the making of Smile. I managed to pick up the two-disc version yesterday. (Brian signing session.)

If you need any help gathering set lists, I would be glad to help out. Also - if there is a movement to donate, I am up for that also.

It's funny - I have never cared for Steely Dan, but I love WIlco's version of that song.

Thanks Rob for working on it. I have always used and appreciated the site quiet a bit over the years. It's really the best Wilco website there is out there.

I have a radio that looks like an early 60s transistor radio that I use at work from time to time. Too bad A.M. seems to be more about shit like Huey Lewis and Hall and Oates than pre-80s oldies these days.

I listen to A.M. or the BBC.

Of course.

I got a good one by way of Ebay. I now have three stereo systems.

I fixed it.

Thanks, I'll be here all week.

I was going to say earlier - the Walkman/Discman is longer made. Is that correct? OR what we use to call jamboxes/ghetto blasters. I did a search on Amazon a while back for a tape deck. About the only thing that came up was a cheapy model that was set-up to hook up to a computer - in order to make Mp3 files from tapes. All this talk of tapes takes me back to the days when my mullet was thicker and healthier.

I know some dudes who use to go around looking for such things when it became BMG/cds. They would take the cds and then sell them to the local record store.

Thanks for posting. Maybe the idea will become reality.

I ran into some of those smelly hipster people at the farmer's market a while back. They tried to jump in front of me in the line to buy eggs. I read somewhere the other day that Dinosaur Jr is re-releasing some of their albums on cassette.

That's what I figured.

I find that funny - when bands start selling their own bootlegs. I guess Frank Zappa was the first to do such a thing.

I don't think I have not seen a cassette in a store since the early 2000s. Of course - where I live there are no record stores, independent, or chain type.

I didn't know cassettes were still being made. The Best Buy here where I live has maybe two rows of cds. And I noticed they are marking them down to 3 bucks for Black Friday. I think Walmart/Target/Best Buy will cease carrying cds at some point.

I don't know if I believe all of that. The way I understood the article was big labels/Top 20 artists. I doubt very many Justin Beiber fans have a cd player in their bedroom. I would think the majority of those sort of folks sales are digital. I don't really know much about popular music, but I don't see too many young people owning anything other than an iPod.

I don't own an iPod, and still refuse to pay for Mp3 files. I suppose if record companies start offering FLAC downloads, I would go for that. I noticed that article said "major record labels", which I don't think there is that many of, so others will still make cds I would think. Plus, there is the whole vinyl resurgence - which still baffles me. I have noticed this month that Wal Mart has big bins of cds for 5 bucks each. So - they must be getting ready to stop carrying them - unless it's a holiday thing. About the only way I buy cds anymore is by way of Amazon. And I don't really buy
