Big time vibage, surgery is never easy no matter how big or small. Hope your dad gets through this just fine!

This guys pretty much a jerk, I would love to see a Califone show, but can't afford to make the trip so instead they get audience members like him. Anybody got a brick to mail?

Here's my little modest collection. Maybe when I'm not a college student I can start you know...actually getting nicer equipment/more equipment...but for now this is what I've got.

My good old Mexican made strat.

The American Ovation 12-string.

An American Ovation classical guitar I got from an uncle when he got a guitar custom made in Australia.

My first guitar, an Antares, I keep it in the Sonic Youth "Empty Page" tuning.

Fender DSP 100, I would really love to get a tube amp...but right now just can't afford it, I've had this for a long time and it definitely works fine.

Is this as good as I hope it is? And therefore, should I buy it soon?

Aw jeez.

Teaches you for taking a good picture

I'm addicted to the new Beck.

The new Beck is quite good, more mellow than I expected, but good.

That's the thing - Glenn Kotche's strength with Wilco lies in that he is a true percussionist, and not just drummer. His 'inglenntions' and other, more standard (but not necessarily to rock) percussive tools and methods are, to me, what makes him so essential.

Yeah, Glenn is just plain fantastic, he's a great drummer, percussionist, and musician on the whole. Anyone who could play Reich's "Clapping Music" between their two hands is pretty talented in my book, and "Monkey Chant" is a great piece. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to see any of the Glenn/Nels shows, that would've been awsome.

Who is the guy with sunglasses that sings along with Jeff?

I'm pretty sure it's Scott McCaughey of The Minus 5.

Sweet so far, I'll have to pick this up when I get a chance.

I really love "Down With Wilco," and while the "Gun Album" doesn't live up to the same standard it is still good and fun, just not quite as good. I still need to get "In Rock" and "Let the War on Music Begin" but all in all the Minus 5 has not let me down.

I just caught this tour in Iowa City. Good stuff. The Death Ships put on a very energetic set. Jay was a little...lonely seeming? I can't help but think of how rough things are for him, and it makes watching him play somewhat painful. I reccomend going.

I was there too, it was a good show, I left partway through Jay's portion because my girlfriend was feeling sick (she's got strep), but overall I enjoyed it. The Death Ships are great, their singer/songwriter played at Grinnell a couple of weeks ago so I had a chance to talk to him then, and he was a very cool guy. Jay seemed nervous to me, I think that's what came across most, but it was still a good time, from what I caught.

(aka the last person in the world that waits to listen to albums until they get released)

Not the last person but close.

Guess I'm one of the few people who likes the studio version of Panthers but I would love to see either of these on the new album.

They were alright, but nothing really memorable, imo. Probably worth picking up if you're a big Verlaine fan, or you just have some extra money kicking around. Interesting, but nothing special.

Christ,have you ever seen an after the show thread with 111 posts in it? Very innaresting..

Yeah definitely interesting , as much as I like to see Wilco all hard core and kicking ass, I hope that they don't have to deal with stagejumpers anymore.

What's happening? I'm on break, checking the interwebs and stuff, it's more exciting than a sock full of nickels.

I'm on break!1!!!!!1!

Hilarious

Ryan Adams is still drunk, still crazy, and still pretty funny. Personally I'm all about him releasing like 30 tracks every month or so that are complete jokes, for free. There's some punk, rap, and country. All of it is short, awful, and I can't stop laughing.

Nothing brings out my rage like the red hat society, I hate them, hate them, hate them

not enough!

I agree but it's a good start

I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass!

hey, we have a whole sub-forum called "Solid State Technology" where all your equipment questions will be answered/

Definitely, you also might want to poke around in the Wilco book if you haven't it has a fair bit of gear in there.

Mr. R, no? We're on break, too, so I'll be all up in the IGH with the ladyfriend, this time staying ON all of the roads.

 

We call her parents:

'Are you on 494?'

We used to be.

'Which exit!?!'

The one that doesn't have a sign anymore...

Mr. R is correct, woot for the IGH and ladyfriends...and especially staying on the roads. Hopefully it'll warm up and ice will not be a problem. Scary!

I have a library of 4000+ legal songs on my computer, I really hope the RIAA sues me for the 100 or less illegal songs I have. I'd laugh myself to death.
