    :wave neighbor!

     

     

    Surely, someone will get a recording up at least. Sorry about the dial-up...it wasn't that long ago we were living in that hell. {{{vibes}}}

     

     

    Howdy back at ya! Maybe someday we'll get a high-speed provider out here in the sticks. Enjoy, lucky!!

    help me pick from these CHI hotels

    I would add (not that I'm an expert after my two trips to Chicago): don't be scared of taking the el or the bus. I'm from a town of 350 and my hubby is from a town of 800- not a bit of public transportation in sight, in other words - and we figured it out just fine. It was cheap, fairly efficient, and much less stressful than trying to drive in Chicago - also less scary than some of the cabbies I've encountered. Just a thought. Enjoy the shows, all y'all! :dancing

    "Our local PBS station only showed it on the digital channel, and we're still gettin our waves thru the ole antenna."

    your "off the air" broadcast should be digital. you will just need to invest in a digital off-air tuner. the gov'ment will be issuing 40 dollars to ppl who need them when the analoag broadcasts go "bye-bye".

    i btw, have a digital off-air tuner that i no longer need. i don't know where you are in KS, but I am in parkville, mo. and, you can use antennaweb.org to see what digital broadcasts you get.

    :blink If I knew what all of that meant, I guess I wouldn't still be using this archaic technology. I feel scared now. Hold me.

     

    BTW, Thanks JHamm. I will send an email your way. B&P is simple enough for my feeble mind to understand.

    Wilco Vs. The Shins

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Two words: Radio play. (And, yes, I love the Shins too and have all their albums. I can tell you that, at least in this area, their previous albums didn't get any radio play but Wincing sure did. Wilco, on the other hand, never plays on mainstream radio in this area, just on NPR---90.9 the bridge----and college radio stations-----90.7 kjhk out of ku).

    9/19/07 Columbia, Mo

    Posted

    The audience was all singing along and the band was eating it up, there wasn't a single person there who didn't enjoy the two hours and fifteen minutes the band played.

     

     

    Well, unfortunately, I did have two young ladies come and stand behind me and TALK almost continuously starting somewhere around California Stars. WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????!!!!!!?????????

    Wilco - OMAHA - October 11th.

    Let's hope to god this doesn't turn into a flame war between Omaha-ites and Sioux City-ians.

     

    No, both Nebraskans and Iowans are too doggoned nice to engage in a flame war. Take it from a Kansan. :cheekkiss

    Have fun, we are going to Columbia instead.

    Songs/Albums To Get You Through a Hard Time

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Ditto REM's Automatic (really any REM can make me happy or sad in a bittersweet way, just depends on what I'm in the mood for)

    Uncle Tupelo: Still Feel Gone (if you've got some pissed off feelings mixed in with your other stuff)

    Son Volt: Trace and Wide Swing Tremolo (for whatever reason, these albums really helped me when my son was sick)

    Wilco: YHF ...also alot of the b-sides and rarities really do it for me

    Jayhawks: Rainy Day Music, Hollywood Town Hall, Tomorrow the Green Grass

    Grant Lee Buffalo: Songs from the Storm Hymnal

    Victoria Williams: Loose (if you need a good cry and want to stop feeling so damn jaded)

    Bright Eyes: I'm Wide awake it's morning

    Matt Pond PA: Emblems (reminds me of the end of summer)

    Paul Westerberg: Best of (cuz he's more pathetic than you)

    Pavement: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

    Frank Black: Teenager of the Year (seems like it's all about escapism and needing to clear your head)

    Buffalo Tom: Big Red Letter Day

    Flaming Lips: Yoshimi, Soft Bulletin

    Mazzy Star: Fade into You (if you REALLY want to wallow in your misery)

    The Shins, They Might Be Giants, and Built to Spill ...when you're ready to feel a little better, sort of

     

    Hope whatever is troubling you gets better. :) Don't forget to take care of yourself.

    agreed, maybe we can petition to swap it with thanks i get or lets not get carried away

     

    speaking of, can anyone hook me up with mp3s of these songs? (ummm, i meant i'm looking for the thanks i get and let's not get carried away. i already have sbs, but thanks anyway.)

    thanks much, my sweets!

    p.s. i was driven to distraction during our treatment team meeting today with endless mental cycles of "walken." something about that bass line.... :dancing

    Will Wilco ever make it on the cover of Rolling Stone?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I think Wilco will get the cover when and if Jeff is willing to put on a bikini and baby oil. And if the other boys all have tats. Bikinis and tats seem to be the key to an RS cover gig.

     

    And in El Brian Fellow's defense, RS is only like 37 cents an issue when you subscribe. My thought is always, why not? It keeps me in touch with the youth culture.

    The Shins tour in February

    Aww, very nice. Your son has good taste! :) (how old is he?) It's tough making a living here, but it's the hills that keep us trying I think. And we know lots about ESU as well. LOL (hubby graduated from there...and worked there...and...) ;)

     

    Aww, I'm sorry. Actually if it's any of the schools I know of there, they are all quite good. :yes I actually lived there briefly (in Johnson County)...luckily went to school in the "city" which made it more tolerable. :hmm Was glad to high-tail it outta there myself after graduation...

    Congratulations! Here's to greener pastures and country living. :cheers

     

    We are officially going to the show on the 12th now...so maybe we'll see you there. ;)

     

    My younger son will be 9 in June. All of his peeps are nature kids, too, so it ought to make a nice trip. SNL was disappointing, IMHO, but looking forward to the 12th!

    We are out in the country too turtlegirl37! Only more like 100 miles from Larry---we live outside of Emporia in the Flint Hills. (Do you know where that is?)

     

    Thinking of the show on the 12th as well, but will probably wait a day or two to get tix...hopefully it won't sell out. :unsure

     

    Are you at KU then? I was in grad school there and took stats as well (okay it's been a *cough* few years ago)...ugh. :( I certainly think a night of :dancing could only help renew your motivation and excitement to learn even more about stats...in fact I think it would be quite necessary. :P (I'm sure your prof would agree too.) ;)

     

    I totally know the Flint Hills. My sis went to ESU, and my extended fam is in OK, so I have driven through your area many many times. I think it's beautiful out there. In fact, my son wants to take his friends to the Tall Grass Reserve area for his bday.

    Not at KU. I work and go to school in lovely Johnson County. :hmm Hoping to ditch that scene pretty soon, as I graduate in May and greener pastures beckon (literally). I'm sure my prof will find your explanation to be quite satisfactory.

    SNL is next week. :)

     

     

    Thanks, Mystik :P Wishful thinking that it was tonight.

    Got my tix for 2/12 (also hubby's bday). I'm a grad student and will be skipping my stats class that night to go to the show. Will be looking for a nice, legitimate-sounding excuse. Don't tell the prof that I'll really be doing this -----> :dancing :rock

    Hey Clouds of Fluff, where are you located? I'm a country girl, about 35 miles away from Lawrence. I'll be dragging Tuesday a.m., too. Work at 8:30 a.m., with an hour commute. (Sigh.) Good thing I have that dandy new espresso machine.
