Jams

I'm glad that you like them!

Another one of Nels, and Jeff.

Nels.

A photo from this show has surfaced.

Thanks. That actually happens to me frequently, and with Wilco lyrics/tunes in particular. I ride my bicycle about 150 miles/week, and I often see something that puts a Wilco tune in my head. Sometimes it's even one of those more "obscure" lines that, in the moment it happens, it seems to make perfect sense.

"His goal in life was to be an echo Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her...." A pic that I took today out on my bike ride. Just thought I'd share!

I didn't know how to search for this here (I tried), so it might be a repost, but I think it's good, at least from the answer side of the interview. Enjoy it if you haven't already!

I agree. It often seems that one or two great players in a band make it more about themselves and less about the tunes. To me, the best bands are about how they can all work with the other players, as opposed to just playing next to them. When they're all able to get "inside" the tunes at the same time, that's where the magic happens. Wilco seem to be very open to letting each other get inside the tunes, and when you have as many great players as this band has, both the quality and quantity of that magic increases. Also, in my opinion, if the rhythm section ain't happening, nothing is happen

I think Glenn is one of the best drummers I've ever seen and/or heard. I think Nels is one of the best guitar players...well, I can keep going on about the band members, but I won't.... I think this band--current line-up--is one of the best bands I've ever heard, and they've just recorded (that is, across the board, written. produced, engineered, mixed, and performed) one of the best records I've ever heard. Ever. That said, at what point does any given band member's departure, from any given band, make that band just another band name? I think it's not about a player who can play the

I had heard of Wilco in the later 1990's, but I didn't listen to anything by the band until 2004, when a friend suggested that I listen to YHF, which I did--ultimately, over, and over, and over again. They've been one of my favorite bands--ever--since then. I think The Whole Love is also one of the best records I've ever heard. Content, performance, production...the whole ball of wax.... I LOVE this band. (And, apparently, they love me, too! )

So whose to worry If our hearts get torn When that hurt gets thrown Don't you know this life goes on And won't you kiss me On that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet David Gray--This Year's Love (which I can't recall having ever heard before today)

we love the sound the sound is what found us the sound is the blood between me and you --Wild Flag

I wrote this song last year. I'm singing and playing the guitar. My friend made the video. My heart was absolutely broken when I wrote it. Although the song could be about anyone, I had lost a friend, and I was, for all intents and purposes, shattered. I hope you can enjoy it for what it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2iZNnnhTeE&feature=youtu.be

Probably could, too, if no one ever scalped tickets, or bought tickets from ticket brokers, and Ticketmaster had less control over how many tickets they could sell to any given event. That said, there will almost always be someone willing to scalp tickets to a show, or go through a broker, and/or call Ticketmaster. Avett Brothers tickets are $35 for the show that I want to see, and there is a $10 service charge/ticket. Ridiculous.

I baked english muffins today.

I've done a cover tune of a Christmas song every year for the past couple of years. This year I did a punky version of "Blue Christmas". No offense to Evis Presley or his fans intended! I hope you like it! Have a Happy Holiday! https://www.yousendi...SZ1BCMTY5TE5Vag

Maybe John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll? (Not really a band in the truest sense) Rush's Feedback, (full disclosure: I've never heard it--I just know that they did one).

"Like". Thanks to everyone for your replies here; it's turning me on to some tunes I might not have otherwise heard!

Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope some day you

That's what I had heard prior to seeing them. It was one of the best shows I'd ever seen of any band who's music I was almost completely unfamiliar with. I'm looking forward to seeing them again in February, if I can get tickets.

Far too many, I suspect. I saw The Avett Brothers for the first time in April (at Sunfest), and it was, far and away, the best show I've seen in years. Enjoy the show!

Have you ever been so touched by the words of a song that you thought, "Damn, I wish I had written that...."? A couple of mine: "If I could choose a place to die, it would be in your arms...." Eric Clapton "Breathe out, so I can breathe you in...." Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl)

Probably order me up a Wilco shirt....

I don't has no Wilco shirts.
