http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/friday_fives_garrett_nickelsen_of_the_maine_on_his_favorite_game_changing_s I know this explanation is long, but give it a read! Garrett Nickelsen is the bass player of the alternative rock band, The Maine. For you who don't know who they are: The Maine is a 5 piece rock band from Arizona. Their first two records were what we would call "pop punk" and they are pretty bad. I wouldn't even bother listening to them. They started to grow up a little and discover different genres of music. Including alternative rock, post punk, punk rock, art rock, power p

You actually read it somewhere? Thats cool to me, because I developed the theory on my own one day. Glad to see I'm not alone on that. Yeah some aspects don't fit him. I guess we aren't entirely sure what/who its about. I would like to trust Jeff's word but sometimes he pulls a Dylan and leads people in a different direction just because he knows he can haha.

Always felt Lonely 1 was about Westerberg. I have no proof. I don't know why I think that.

His engagement with the crowd definitely catches you a bit off guard. Glad you had fun and had a chance to catch him!

Yeah they didn't at all in 2012 which was what I was referring too. If they don't again this year I may have to make the trip to Toronto or Cleveland.

Hmm. I see. Thanks for the info. I'm just really hoping we can get a Michigan date. They skipped the mitten last time around

You guys know the patterns of the band better than I do, as most of you have been fans longer than I, so I ask: When do you think they will release new NA tour dates? I really want to take my girlfriend to her first Wilco show (she's as big of a fan as me...what a keeper..) and I know we have the new record to look forward to...plus Solid Sound has yet to happen. So when will they give us some dates? Before SS? In between SS and the new record? After the new record? What do ya think? I know traditionally a band will tour to support a new album, but Wilco is a band who has more or less made a l

Talking Heads. The Beatles.

No particular order: Tumbling Dice Moonlight Mile Sympathy For the Devil Heart of Stone Rocks Off Sway Loving Cup Miss You Jumpin Jack Flash Gimme Shelter

Hey all. My band, The Standouts, are doing a Kickstarter project to raise money for our newly recorded single. We recorded two songs and want to put it out on a 7". Not asking you to pledge or anything, just check this out and share it on any social network you are apart of maybe? Thanks! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1199012585/the-standouts-new-single-on-vinyl

I see I see. I hope my posts don't come off as whiny, are rude to anyone. I'm just stating and clarifying some of my thoughts. You guys are great.

I'm not at all saying I don't listen to other music. Or I won't try to discover other music. I am just curious as to why some people feel like this music is worn out when it's so fresh to me. And you guys answered and I thank you. But as far as the Stones go Louie, I did know that about Exile. And I am a huge Muddy fan as well as Johnson, Hank Williams, Sonny Boy Williamson and many other blues, country and folk artists. I am a liver and searcher of music just as you all are. Here I should be more of a music fan than I am a 17 year old. I am probably just like a lot of you when you were my ag

So I haven't been here long, I know, but for the time I have been here, I've found it a lot of fun and have enjoyed it. But one thing I want to address as a young Wilco fan is, the amount of folks on here who claim the music has "run its course" for them, "gotten old" or just "isn't doing it" anymore. The people who say these things claim the still respect the band but they don't feel like listening to them anymore. And hey, I get that. I mean its happened to me with some bands. But for me at least, Wilco is a band that changed my life in a few ways, and has influenced me as a musician more t

Never really been a fan for Unlikely Japan. Its very interesting. I do love the Kid A'ish bit at the end though. Thats beautiful.

I love the song. Musically, one of the most beautiful Wilco efforts ever...as far as lyrics go, Jeff does describe to some extent in the Sky Blue Sky Bonus DVD, but he sorta pulls a Dylan and after a long explanation, you still don't really know what he said. So in my opinion, the song is just about a failing love. Just trying to keep something together even though it is so very obvious it will fail. The lyrics are some of my favorites in the Wilco catalogue. Especially "But this is what love is for/To be out of place/Gorgeous and alone/Face to face." and "Nothings more important than to know

Last Saturday I saw Jeff Mangum at the Redford Theatre in Detroit. (Anyone else there??) Anyway, I just thought if there are any NMH fans on the forum, I'd give ya a review/description of the show.. Setlist: 1. Two Headed Boy 2. King of Carrot Flowers Parts 1, 2, & 3 3. Gardenhead 4. Engine 5. Holland, 1945 6. Oh Comely 7. Oh Sister 8. Song Against Sex 9. Naomi 10. Ghost 11. Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 ---------------------------------- 12. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Aside from the show, the venue was BEAUTIFUL. It was a night-sky ceiling and it felt like you were outside. Lots of abstract

Agreed. Big Smiths fan here.

His guitar work on the Pet Shop Boys' songs..even his brief spell being in the Pretenders. Don't get me wrong, I love Morrissey and enjoy his solo albums but the sounds and projects Marr pursued and discovered post -Smiths is more interesting to me.

Dylan Fox Theater in Detroit..a great experience. Bruce put on a fun, energetic, classic Bruce show. Smashing Pumpkins..newest record=ehh...live performance=still kicking. Had a great time. Perfect Mellon Collie to Siamese Dream ratio.

Thats exciting. Johnny's post-Smiths work is far more interesting than Moz's...

Yep you got it. Is it unorthodox to use a picture of yourself?

The picture is me, playing guitar on stage with my band.

Still missing Levon...damn.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Glad to be here!

Hello everybody! I just wanted to say, I just joined this forum and am excited to be apart of it. A little about me, my name is Tyler, I'm 17, a big Wilco fan (big music fan in general..) I also love Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Replacements, The Beatles and The Clash. My username comes from the album Exile on Main St. for those who don't know. Don't know if people do all this when they join, I just thought I'd make you regulars aware. Thanks!
