Dude

I still don't really get how a few typos can sink an entire magazine. I see mistakes, plot holes, continuity errors and similar sloppiness in movies all the time, (ones with a lot more money invested and people working on them than an indie publication, no less), and if the movie is generally good and entertaining I don't allow a few mistakes affect my enjoyment of it.

Not really, but magazines are a dying breed. The interview was good, even including the typos / misspellings.

That is pretty sad that it went to print like that (have the issue myself), but this magazine has been around for 25 years. I'm a bit more worried about the overall state of print media these days (i.e. No Depression folding its magazine operation, many newspapers filing for bankruptcy, etc.) than I am about a poorly edited article. I guess what I'm saying is--I'd rather magazines like this stay afloat in the current economic climate, even given the shitty editorship.

#13 - Gun - http://www.americansongwriter.com/2009/07/the-top-20-jeff-tweedy-songs-13-gun/ Key lyric: “Crawling back to you now, I sold my guitar to the girl next door. She asked me if I knew how, I told her ‘I don’t think so anymore.’” Another great pick / lyric.

I've never once done what's for the "good of the thread". I march to the beat of my own poster.

Maybe not, but you can see some fine wrasslin' there: TNA Wrestling LIVE "Cross The Line" Friday, October 23, 7:00 PM, Doors Open at 6:00 PM More information coming soon... Ticket Prices: TBA

Yeah, if you look further down the page I figured that one out.

On further inspection, the Chicago Theatre gig by the way was when Conan came to Chicago, so I guess that doesn't quite count.

They've already played the Chicago Theatre, but it's possible they could come back to it.

Ah okay. I remember reading Jeff saying that they he only had two guitars in New Zealand, and they didn't have the range of instruments that they have in the Loft. Maybe that resulted in some of the compromises you are hearing.

Yeah, I really like Wilco (the Song) too, but it belongs wherever Heavy Metal Drummer belongs, which is outside of a top 20.

I'm not sure they could sell out Otto's.

#14 - Wilco (The Song) - http://www.americansongwriter.com/2009/07/the-top-20-jeff-tweedy-songs-14-wilco-the-song/ I think I can think of 30 better songs than this.

Out of curiosity, what about the production strikes you as shit? To me it sounds like a great production. Hell, I wish Summerteeth (my favorite album of theirs) was recorded with half this fidelity. That album sounds totally compressed, Protooled to death, wayyyyy too many overdubs, too many instruments occupying the same sonic spaces / frequencies. It's like pancakes with half a bottle of syrup slathered on it. The syrup, of course, was Jay Bennett layering on a zillion overdubs. Which to me, is part of it's charm -- Pet Sounds is also overtracked to death -- but Summerteeth is clearly more o

Last night was the second coolest collaborative performance Feist has particpated in. #1 is obviously:

Yeah, I spent much of my youth listening to Steve & Garry. It's permanently warped me.

I thought that was due to Michael being the "King of Pop", and his sons were "heirs" to his "Pop Throne".

There were definitely people from that era who hated dance music, especially disco. This loveable yet obnoxious Chicago area talk-radio personality comes to mind:

Did they feel that way about Prince, too? It wasn't really that cut and dry back then.

I always thought Beat It was essentially a rock song. It even has Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

I guess I see MJ of my youth dying in this vid, you know? Maybe he was weird and prone to addictions before the commercial shoot, but this event seems to have triggered the transformation from a really talented guy with what would best be described as a few eccentricities to a really weird mofo who may possibly have been a pedophile to boot. That may be grossly inaccurate or even wrong, but that's the emotional impact seeing this vid has on me.

None of the above, it's the footage from the Pepsi commercial shoot that went horribly awry.

I'm amazed, but not surprised, that this footage has leaked: http://www.popeater.com/music/article/michael-jackson-pepsi-accident-fire/573055 It's hard to watch this for any number of reasons.

True. It's kinda nice though that Jay's acknowledging "the hatchet" has been buried. There was some bad blood there for a while.
