Can anybody help oldking out? This is a good friend and an excellent photographer, who took some amazing pictures as the official photographer at Mergefest this year.

Why does Memphis not have a camera store with Canon lenses?

The lyrics may be silly, but the song sure is catchy. As are many of the "Always the Bridesmaid" originals.

August 8th - Cary, NC - KOKA BOOTH AMPHITHEATRE

I'm excited about this--it's only about 5-10 minutes from my house. And it's a nice venue.

I love the Magnetic Fields, but I haven't found the leak yet. I'm looking forward to the new release. Wish I could go see one of the shows, but they aren't coming anywhere near me and I don't have the time to travel.

Hey, Chad, good to "see" ya!

 

thanks for the info.

Hey Bridget! I'm still around, but I don't post much these days.

I got into the Mountain Goats seriously about two years ago, and then went out and bought all of their available cds (about 15). Sunset Tree, Tallahassee, and AHWT are my favorite (along with Sweden). Get Lonely has some great songs, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to the whole thing. I love that I've been able to see them 4 times in the last year because John Darnielle lives in Durham, NC. They also have a lot of shows at archive.org.

Oh, and I'm listening to PJ Harvey's White Chalk. I'm still not sure what I think of this.

I'd recommend:

 

1) The Sunset Tree

2) We Shall All Be Healed

3) Get Lonely

 

And that's all the MG material I have currently.

After Sunset Tree (and before the other two) you should get:

Tallahassee

All Hail West Texas

If you are still interested from there, get the other two and then go backwards.

'd really like a PM too if anyone can...thank you!

Me, too, please!

Y'ALL:

 

It's with a wide range of emotions and feelings that I'm announcing that we have parted ways with Jason.

The split, which I consider extremely amicable is the result of a period of personal and artistic growth from all sides which has left us with differing dreams and goals.

Wow! I just saw this at the dbt site. Man, this sucks.

Gogo is the best. Have a happy one!

JEALOUS!!!! Did Jason sing Nine Bullets?

Nah, it was Patterson. I wish it were Jason, but it was still great.

I caught them in Durham, NC last night, and they smoked. They came out for the encore and played four songs acoustic (including Nine Bullets and Outfit!).

Hey Chad- was that you who loudly shushed those drunk guys? I don't know when they weaseled their way onto the lawn behind us (beside you), but I only started to notice them during the encore.

 

Scott

Hey Scott,

Nah, I didn't shush anybody--that usually ends up being louder than the talking--but some of the people that I was with might have. We mainly just ended up making fun of them, between songs, of course. Anyway, good to meet you and I hope the drive back wasn't too bad.

I guess thats what happens when you sell full bottles of wine does anyone know how much those were going for? And why sell bottles of wine but cans of Corona?

 

also, did anyone else notice the guy leave with his 2 kids, walkin in front of the stage on his way out and flick off Tweedy during Ruling Class?

The bottles of wine were $14! The beer cans were $3. My wife went for the wine, but I went for the Newcastle until they sold out, then switched to the Corona. Good times.

What the heck was wrong with that guy? What did he expect at a Tweedy show? I was actually surprised that Tweedy's banter didn't include any 4-letter words--not that my kids probably haven't heard them before.

As for the talking, there was a good bit in spots. Most of it didn't bother me, but Tweedy did react a couple of times, including changing a line in "Walken". I did get annoyed by the guy next to me on the lawn that kept calling people on his cell phone and telling them that he was thinking about them. Whatever.

Good show, though somewhat short. It was great to see some old friends and meet some new ones. Some highlights: "What light?" opener and "Acuff-Rose" closer. And the hilarious banter.

OCT-09 HUNTSVILLE, AL VON BRAUN CENTER CONCERT HALL

OCT-12 FT. WORTH TEXAS WILL ROGERS AUDITORIUM

OCT-15 WICHITA, KS THE COTILLION

OCT-16 SPRINGFIELD, MO SHRINE MOSQUE

Now listed on the wilcoworld site.

I got a message from Stuart, and he was going to upload his recording at bt.vc, but he has never done a bt before, so it may take awhile. Be patient. Apparently, he taped all three Florida shows.

Thanks Tyrus!

Thanks, Solace. I was just looking at the list yesterday, and it was kind of depressing--a lot of people just aren't sharing. It's slowing down a lot of torrents, while others are dying early deaths.

Let me know when I can start clearing some things out.

Thanks. I noticed the difference but I usually don't go down there!

Am I just being stupid or has the Reflecting Off Your CD Forum really disappeared?
