Is Chicago Is Not Chicago

"Hate It Here" was played once way back in 2003 as "You're Really Gone" at a Tweedy solo show (5/16/03).

 

lyrics to this version:

 

I did the dishes

I mow the lawn

I try to stay busy

But you're still gone

 

I check the mail

Now I watch the phone

I talk to your mom

She says you're not home

 

You're really gone

You're really gone

 

I drive my car

I walk around the block

I ring your bell

 

-justin

ohhhhh i love that song. doesn't he say he found it on a tape of songs he recorded around the being there era?

Radio Woodstock just played What Light, followed by The Times They Are A Changin.

score!!

what's the frequency? (ahem...kenneth) Im in Albany, is there a chance I can pick the station up on my radio?

music from the elder.

bad joke

the build up is immense.

Christ, I hope they tour the U.S. between Austrailia and Europe! I'll be leaving for college soon, and (hopefully) I'll be headed to NYU, and we all know how likely an NY show is!

I live upstate in albany and they played at skidmore college which is about 3 hours or so from NYC, not too shabby...

Same here. I actually used to skip it. Now, I sometimes skip TO it.

me too. and only just recently too.

wonderful song.

la pequino bumblebee?

as always i'm sure they will tour the u.s. in stages. a month or two of straight dates. than a few months off, than a month or so of more u.s. dates. than a few off and repeat etc. etc.

they play "you know my name (look up the number)"

enough said.

wow. we must be in the lowest percentile of a minority i've ever seen.

i've seen one of their concerts. They are so dead on it's not even funny. Any band that can pull off a note per perfect note rendition of strawberry fields or even the quick drum edit from the recorded version of yer blues is more than ok in my book.

I am waiting for the album to be released, so I can sit around with some friends and take in the whole thing.

the only song i've let myself indulge in is "what light" that was released via wilcoworld

he shared the bill with my friends band some years ago in NYC got to meet him and such. great guy, wonderful music.

i hope they do another version of handshake drugs for another EP.

can't get enough versions of that one.

you beat me to that one! Perhaps a blue grass version?

Same here. Sometimes I think it's my favorite.

Little Ghost is amazing.

I haven't heard the leaked album. I was wondering if they still plan to release one track today?

is this still happening?

thank you so much! I'm gonna download it when I get out of work. Is there a website that lists the singles from each album? I'd like to check out some more studio songs left off some of the albums.

By the way I picked up Grand Prix yesterday and its AMAZING. Thank you all for the suggestions.

my favourite Fannies song is 'Hi-Fi' and I believe it was some obscure b-side from Grand Prix. I always though that a band who could just toss off a song like that were unnaturally talented.

 

Great band.

any chance in posting this!?!?!

does "walken" have horns on it?

I got around to picking up "thirteen" awhile ago and I will agree that it is a very worthy follow up to "Bandwagonesque" getting just the right balance of distortion and sweet harmonies. Thank you for the reccomendation.

I was wondering if you can explain a bit more to me on some other albums. The first one, "A Catholic Education" is supposedly very darkier and "grungier" are the tunes catchy as well? Or had they not perfected there melodic sense yet that shows up on "Bandwagonesque"?

You guys also pointed out that "Grand Prix" was a particuarly strong album? How does this sound in contrast to "Thirteen"? Because the only song I've heard off it is "Neil Jung" and I think its amazing, possibly my second favorite Fanclub song of all time...how does the rest of the album compare to this?

thank you for all your help!!!

Holy shit, I never thought some many people could pass judgement on an album they haven't heard...

you should have seen people on this dylan forum I go to, after 20 seconds of each song leaked for "modern times". hundreds of people ripped apart an album that they hadn't heard more than 2 mins collectivley of.

I will never understand people.

john lennon (solo career) doing "we're just friends"

fair enough.

did what jeff say about interweaving guitarlines remincisent of television via him and nels come to fruition?

thank you for taking the time to answer these...

This is a lovely album. The production is great. The vocals are great. The songs are nice.

It is a soulful album.

I think it's the music I am dissapointed with. It's a little too even.

was jeff's assement on sky blue sky being similliar to being there accurate?
