The Kinks -- "Lola"

A solo show at the Taste? That's kind of odd.

Wait. Jack Bruce is still alive?!

The National.

Living Room show in Chicago in January.

Four days to the White Sox opener! Weather is looking good. Well "better" is perhaps more accurate!

Was on the road most of last week. Saw the Bluegrass Jam @ The Station Inn in Nashville.

Saw The Del McCoury Band over the weekend. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

Unfortunately, DBT is not stopping in Chicago on their current tour. Indy, Milwaukee, Madison; but no dates in Chicago.

Alejandro Escovedo & Peter Buck at Lincoln Hall.

Yes!! "Short Man's Room" (with the Jayhawks) is a great album.

"Start Again" is pretty close to Pop Perfection.

Lots of great nominations in this thread. The first one that come to mind (other than the already mentioned "I've got blisters on my fingers.") is from Blind Faith's Presence of the Lord: "Everybody knows the secret, and everybody knows the chord [yeah, yeah yeah]."

I thought the show was light on songs and too heavy on banter. I usually find Jeff to be very funny, but it seemed like he was consciously avoiding playing music. BTW, the guy who won the SNL tour (I was second in line and spent over an hour talking to him) was a great guy and recently retired from the military. It was his first Tweedy/Wilco show. Very happy for him.

Love Beck -- got all his albums. If he's able to come close to replicating the mood of Sea Change, I'll be very happy.

DBT is one of my favorite bands and I'm anxiously awaiting the release of English Oceans. Their concerts are tremendous -- a "must see" live act.
