Hey Spain, I'm coming your way in Nov. If you know anyone that could use tickets, I have 2 each for Madrid and San Sebastian. Will sell at cost.

Maybe we need to update her wiki page?

Incredible song. I'll take a stab at the lyrics. * now edited with the correct lyrics I'm one of those No! I froze I can't be so far away from my wasteland I'll never know when I might ambulance or hoist hearts the horns with my own hands almost almost I heard a faint old angel, love ole' true love but I had other ways to hurt myself by like calling I could open up my heart and fall and I could blame it all on dust the art of almost almost almost almost I'll hold it up I'll shake the grade grail disobey across the waves tomorrow I'll have all the love I could ever ache and I'll leave a

Hahahahahahaha. Those were my exact thoughts!

I saw a rattler for the first time this summer too. Up in the mountains in the Catskills. Apparently they like hot rocks and this was way up on a rocky peak (with amazing views, I might add). It was crossing the driveway of the house I was going to. It took a look in my direction and then slithered off into the rocks. Pretty freaky, I have to say. I was delivering something to the house. I got in and out of there quickly!

Actually rather than to say that their best songwriting days are behind them, I should have said that maybe I'm just now realizing that I prefer the songwriting and the musical contributions of the previous Wilco lineup (pre 2004). There have been some great songs from the post 2004 lineup as well, but the depth is not there for me on many of them.

I was just having a conversation like this last night...about the career path of the Stones/Replacements and a few other bands coincidentally. We pretty much came to the conclusion that we felt Wilco's best songwriting days are behind them but that the band has never performed better live. I'm enjoying this new record a lot but if I wasn't already a die-hard fan, I'm not sure that this would make me into one. Also, I didn't feel like this until now, but I'm also starting to have a lot more appreciation for Bennett's contributions to the band.

Most certainly. There always are.

I'm currently transition from this being my Summer obsession to The Whole Love being my Fall obsession.

Do you think they will be playing this one live? I certainly hope so but I get the sense it might be one of those songs that makes rare appearances.

Oh man. I've spent the last few days listening to that song. Can't seem to stop.

Yes and I think we can be done with this now and everyone can get back to ranking albums.

I'm not very good at ranking albums so, that's probably how I got off track. In any case, Being There is killer, okay? alright? okay? alright?

We all come back sooner or later

Are you security? I think he's fine. He's got opinions. We've got opinions. That's how these things work. But maybe we should check. Laughingdog, do you need a hug?

I wasn't offended. I just thought it was off base and now it seems that we are in agreement. So all is well in the neighborhood.

Still feel like you should have left Misunderstood out of your example.

I think that line just speaks to a achieving a certain amount of fame

His new one is up for listening now. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/04/140117359/first-listen-a-a-bondy-believers#commentBlock

I was wondering too. It feels kind of funny to be having all this discussion and they haven't posted a review yet.

This is how I hear it too..."it" as in, this is how I tell the story.

Willie Nelson teams up with Chipotle to bring attention to industrial farming; covers Coldplay song "We produced this film to help illustrate the choices people face in deciding what to eat, and hope that it will encourage people to choose food that is raised with respect for the land, the animals, and the farmers that produce it." http://www.nydailyne...hipotle_ad.html Way to go Willie. I'm glad at least one chain is standing up for sustainable farming. Maybe it's a sign of good things to come. Plus the video is adorable.

Misunderstood is "shallow"? is "so precisely one kind of thing"? I completely disagree. I have no problem with people having their song preferences as well as those they don't like but this just strikes me as majorly off. Misunderstood is a masterpiece. Nothing else sounded like it at the time. This was the band breaking new ground and heading into new territory. I have no idea how anyone would say this song doesn't have any "juice pumped" into it. My god, my head is spinning.
