Finally getting around to this.
-
The jerk store called and both parties are equally at fault.
Or did you forget about the inappropriate and disruptive hecklers?
And Richards treated them like they would treat him: equally nasty.
In other news, your mom.

Hm... wrong image.

not the real artwork, but so far so good
Wow, that's an excellent album cover, even if it isn't final/fake/etc.

Reading what Liam or Noel says is like reading the fecal smeared messages found in public restrooms which includes phone numbers to previous whores, trash talk, and ego-filled adolescent bumps (promotionals).
It's not even funny anymore.

The acoustic/harmonica version has always sounded out of purpose with the rest of the song. The electric version is by far the winner here.

that's a bit rough on the priests, no?
Only the Catholic ones.

Anyone watch The Good, The Bad, And The Queen yet?
I like their sound.

To me, this is a classic example of the rock community's unhealthy fixation on progress. It only proves my point about vitality, but it's also unfortunate. Why must something be COMPLETELY different from what came before? That's just change for its own sake, not progress. All music comes from what came before, in the end, so why not just label everything as derivative!
That's quite ambiguous, chief.
Progress is a form of change. However, change does not necessarily equal progress.
Exactly what is so unhealthy about the progress of pop/rock music and its vitality?
What exactly makes a fixation on progress strictly worse than fixation on music from previous and or present periods?
Furthermore, who judges which fixations are good, bad, and etc. even though they are opinions and preferences?

Any of the shows that played Sunken Treasure, electric version.

The strongest song on Return To Cookie Mountain is A Method. There's a silent storm of percussion as if one stood in the eye of a hurricane of sounds. I Was A Lover has an excellent loop in the background. Province sounds excellent will most likely be remembered as that song that Grey's Anatomy fans heard. This will most likely end up as number one for 2006 in my catalogue.

I feel really fed up with concert etiquette altogether. Perhaps it's just me, but within the last three years, I've noticed an increase in behaviours that disrupt the flow of concerts from heckling at smaller venues, yelling during the acoustics, and other "I'm with rock star" antics.
At the East Lansing Wilco show, I had to deal with a girl who wouldn't stop yelling whoos during the tender parts of Misunderstood. I had to loudly inform her to shut up so that I could listen to Tweedy.
At the TV On The Radio show a week ago, I had to try my best to ignore two drunk girls arguing loudly, getting stoned, yelling during Grizzly Bear's very tender set. Furthermore, the audience from that show talked loudly as if Grizzly Bear were background noise.
At the Radiohead show in Toronto, a bunch of hecklers have ruined attributed a connotation with Fake Plastic Trees.
Is this behaviour just in North America? Why must people disrupt the rest of the audience's concert experience? Why do people even attend if they don't plan to pay attention? Why do people chase after this machismo rock star ideal?
There's a difference between expressing your appreciation during a song then contributing to the anthemic chorus. I find myself more and more discouraged from attending concerts.
Perhaps, there's a more pensive and appropriate action to discourage such disruptive behaviour. But what would that be? Perhaps in future circumstances, I should take a more aggressive stance when it comes to disruptive concert behaviour. Or perhaps, there won't be another concert.
-
Instead of thinking about the missing/idle security crew, anyone think that the real problem is the lack of concert etiquette and courtesy that attenders bring?
The issue has steadily risen since my very first Wilco concert. Last week at East Lansing, some idiot heckled and yelled drunken whoos during the acoustic strumming of Misunderstood so much I had to tell her to shut up.
I guess I should expect more of this rude and idiotically inconsiderate behaviour as Wilco grows in popularity.
-
I'm still amazed by their performance at St. Andrews Hall.
-
Sunken Treasure more in line with the album version, though Jeff stopped after the first chorus and re-started from the beginning.
Holy shit! That's awesome!

How To Fight Loneliness? Welcome back!
What the hell does LNGC Away stand for?
EDIT: LNGC Away is the setlist abbreviation for Let's Not Get Carried Away.
Now Playing for January 2007
in Someone Else's Song

You can stream the entire album via Rupert Murdoch.
Sounds a bit more tame and withdrawn. The album sounds good, but not extraordinary. I don't remember the track The Good, The Bad And The Queen (versus say album or band, which only makes matters more confusing) sounding that explosive at the Electric Prom.
