Paul - did Jeff make any indication that the new songs are on the forthcoming Wilco record, or did you get the sense that they are new songs are in their very early stages? I learned a lot about Jeff's writing practices from The Tweedy show, namely that he is always writing!

 

No references to any of ‘em being on a new record. And if I’m being honest a couple of ‘em i hope are in the early stages if they’re to become something more permanent. Lou Reed Was My Babysitter was fantastically wonderful though. 

thanks for the review. looking forward to the next 3 nights!

i agree. I always liked Joe Morgan, he and Jon Miller are way better than that Fox team, that was painful.

but still my Giants won and i'm still basking in that glowed that formed a week ago!

my buddy just posted his photos from the show. some really nice ones... ah the joys of a photo pass:

i just want to 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, etc. anyone that has said Black Eye. I miss that song.

oh great now reuters is reporting on tmz's report and also claiming him to be dead.

If they are right it helps them become more legitimate?

not sure if it helps them be more legitimate, but it does let them say they were the first to report it.

it is funny tmz is the only one willing to publish he died. they don't care if they end up being wrong as long as it makes a better story for the moment.

great to hear. love the bridge school, it's a special two days. sorry to have missed it this year.

Rockers.

2nd that. (as your post was going to be my exact response)

Kind of important news: Gordo's to appear at Outside Lands

F yeah! Excuse my language but i love gordo's. my personal favorite location is the one on 24th and Clement. right around the corner from where i grew up and i still haven't found a place that tops it. whenever i get home i probably have it for at least once a day and usually sneak it in at least twice during one of the days. boy i miss that place.

i think that just about solidifies outside lands the best festival out there.

stealing a page out of the white stripes tour book, but i love it. more bands should reward those living in alaska.

Looks like the hipsters turned out in full force tonight in LA. I was in line and it sold out like 10 people before me.

 

I LOVE their record. Got it Tuesday and I'm hooked.

 

Edit: I just checked Spaceland's web page and there's no online tix left. Looks like I'll be in line early tomorrow.

i'd had my tickets to the show for weeks, it was packed in there and absolutely sweltering, but a damn nice show.

i might have an extra for tonight's, send me a pm if you're still in need.

love that review, especially the ending, too funny and almost the exact same sentiments i expressed when sharing both albums with a couple friends.

is there something going on with the warfield i don't know about? or is phil hanging it up? the article talks about closing out a 28 year history with the venue and that leads me to such questions...

i sure hope it's not going anywhere.

i missed my handsome furs show last night (one of the guys from wolf parade) due to other social responsibilities, kinda bummed, but the last two times i saw them they were great.

wow. i really need to get in on one of these one of these years. i just need to plan for it and do it.

they have been on an acoustic tour for the last year or so. really pretty stuff, there was a show or two on dime if you want a preview. But very different than their early albums (i also recommend chronological order, though Lazer Guided Melodies is probably my favorite).

If it's an unplugged show, find their (his) latest album.

But no matter what if looking for one song to start with find "Shine A Light". (they'll play that i'm pretty sure and it doesn't get much better)

enjoi.

there's also 7grand, a relatively new whiskey bar. it's a couple blocks from the broadway bar. unfortunately i was only able to get one quick drink there before a show at the orpheum. it had a nice vibe, but i didn't really get a chance to soak it in. hear good things about it though.

gave it a go. thanks for the info

you guys are on it. once another extra what or waffles invite pops up would love to join in the fun. thanks guys.

Face Off.

was hating it, then the projector f'ed up. after a 5 minute delay it started back up, i watched 5 more minutes then said screw it and took off.

it felt rather liberating actually to leave the theater.

for those that may be in the LA area, i just guessed the word "chrome" as the pre-sale password and it worked!

i added my name yesterday, worked fine for me in safari. but look at the odds...

20 million fans

Twenty million fans bid for Led Zeppelin comeback tickets

LONDON (AFP) - About 20 million fans have tried to get tickets for Led Zeppelin's one-off comeback concert, a spokesman for the gig said Thursday.

The rock legends are reforming for a tribute concert at London's O2 Arena on November 26. The former Millennium Dome venue in Greenwich can hold up to 20,000 people.

The three surviving members of the hard-rocking British band are to play together for the first time in 19 years in tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the late founder of the Atlantic Records label, who signed the group in 1968.

About 80,000 fans per minute are trying to register for tickets at the www.ahmettribute.com website, said Internet service provider Pipex.

Demand for the 125-pound tickets also crashed the O2 Arena website.

"The message is to be patient. The website will be open until midday on September 17 for anyone wanting to register," said a spokesman for the concert.

"It is not 'first come, first served' and all successful applicants will be entered into the ballot for tickets to be drawn at random."

Led Zeppelin split in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham, who famously choked on his own vomit following a drinking binge.

Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones, with Bonham's son Jason on drums, will headline the gig.

The Who's Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, rock band Foreigner and Paolo Nutini will also play at the tribute from British artists who worked with Istanbul-born Ertegun.

Since Bonham's death, the remaining three have reunited only twice before, to play the 1985 Live Aid concert in Philadelphia and an Atlantic Records anniversary gig in 1988.

Led Zeppelin have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide.

The band were not keen on releasing singles, but their best-known songs include "Stairway to Heaven", "Kashmir", "Whole Lotta Love", "Rock 'n' Roll", "Nobody's Fault but Mine" and "Communication Breakdown".

well the 80's are all the rage with the kids today, so maybe he's trying to attract a new younger audience.

i'm with solace on this one. if you like his stylized voice & singing style you'll probably like it, that's all there just like before. but unfortunately the music behind it isn't anywhere near as interesting as the last album.
