  1. Yes but with everyone wearing rain gear how is Tim going to shoot the SS '15 Wilco tee shirt collection?
  2. Steven Hyden on Jason Isbell, with commentary by Jason himself http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-most-gut-wrenching-jason-isbell-songs-with-guest-commentary-by-jason-isbell/
  3. I am trying, unsuccessfully, to not let it deflate my energy in the run up to SS. But after 2 years of waiting for the return of SS, and after all this dry weather, I just want to scream.
  4. Great! Thanks for sharing, I missed that one.
  5. I hate to be a bummer, but the weather forecast is worsening. Bring your rain gear. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.70014807357586&lon=-73.20896846142455&site=all&smap=1#.VYsQSVI-Yg4
  6. The cover of Cannonball by the Breeders is pretty sweet http://www.onionstudios.com/videos/courtney-barnett-covers-the-breeders-2301
  7. Well, if I've already been obsessed with CB and her music over the last couple of months, her stock has now risen even higher in my book. This entire broadcast rings true to me, starting with the cross-generational appeal of her music. I started taking my kids to shows when they were 9 and 7. In a "what goes around comes around" way, a few months ago, my now 25 year old son emailed me the he had gotten a drop of the new CB album and he strongly recommended I check it out. He also sent me a link to the Steven Hyden piece on her on Grantland. I was sold. Quickly got the double EP and Sometim
  8. Oh no! This is a big bummer for me,was really looking forward to his set.
  9. Yes, it's only Monday. NE weather forecasters have no idea what's going to happen on Friday-Sunday. That won't stop me from obsessively checking the forecasts though.
  10. Yes, chance of rain in the forecast Friday and Sunday, but miniscule amounts. Friday just 0.04 inch. and Sunday just 0.2. At least I think those are miniscule amounts.
  11. Having watched it a second time, I thought the movie was OK. I guess I had high expectations that in reality just weren't met. I would have preferred more Wilco concert footage. But, the film did a good job conveying the spirit and vibe of SS. I liked the "still" shots of the crowd, I'm always interested to get a read on the other fans of whatever group I'm seeing. Seeing those shots made me feel like I was back at SS more than anything. As to one of the other comments here, I liked the Jen Kirkman footage, I'm a fan.
  12. I don't know where that rule of fashion comes from. Myself, growing up (and still ) in the Grateful Dead scene, folks sported GD related tees all over the place. With all that iconographic art, the tee shirts were always a nice touch. I still get people stop me when I wear my Wolf tee shirt. Anyhow, I'll likely be sporting a Wilco shirt on at least one of the days. My goal is to make it into Tim's 2015 Solid Sound Wilco tee shirt photo gallery
  13. Richard Thompson played The Wilbur in Boston on Saturday night. In one of the only instances where RT played Boston in the last couple of decades, I chose not to go and save myself for Solid Sound. Obviously a mistake. http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/music/2015/06/21/richard-thompson-dazzles-wilbur/2NwjscdC6fcm4Ac3Z32aTO/story.html
  14. Giving a spin to disc 5 of the Winterland '73 box, specifically the Playin > UJB > Dew > UJB > Playin segment. Has to be among the best of the Grateful Dead to my ears. Can't get enough 73 Dead. The audio for this box is crazy good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Heavy on the "Jaw" I notice, Jawbreaker and Jawbox. Are they related?
  16. Also surprised, but I guess the point is to show the stress of learning and rehearsing all those tunes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I could have used more Wilco and less Foxygen. The film does an excellent job of capturing the SS vibe. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. To watch it on your Apple TV Vimeo app, did you first have to go to Vimeo on a computer to purchase it? And then watch it on Apple TV? Just watched the bonus trailer of the all covers show. That is great! Almost all of Cut Your Hair.
  18. Mine, first 6 are in order, the rest are in a general flow of an order: the Dead Allman Brothers Wilco R.E.M. Phish Hot Tuna Beatles Stones Los Lobos Talking Heads Clash Lucinda Jefferson Airplane Pretenders Tedeschi Trucks Band Replacements The Band Richard Thompson Gov't Mule Neil Young Derek and the Dominos Cracker Traffic Social D Soulive Ryan Adams X Galactic George Clinton/P-Funk Creedence
  19. You have a shockingly high amount of bands I've never heard of! Which, by this point, shouldn't shock me, but it still does.
  20. Listening to the new one, Restless Ones, right now. Sounding great. Will have to digest a little before I put up my 5 HB faves.
  21. I Got You (at the end of the century) just now on Morning Joe
  22. I know it's obnoxious to quote myself, but just as I was wondering what I was going to listen to today and feeling the need for something new, the recent Wilco show from St. Louis becomes available for download. So I'm set for a few days. My continuing love of listening to music gets constantly re-charged not just from listening to new artists (about which there's been a lot of focus in this discussion) but new music from older artists I already follow, such as the recent Lucinda, the upcoming Jason Isbell and Richard Thompson, and discovering bands who have been around for a while who I hap
