It sets the mood perfectly for the album. It's very subtle and smooth.

I'm going to say there are very few songs that aren't highlights, but the best are: Hate It Here You Are My Face On and On and On (which really became an amazing song in the studio.) Leave Me Like You Found Me.

A wise man once told me guitars with sharp points give you STD's... He said SG's aren't that bad, but they are still problematic.

Here's my official, long winded write up of the show with my favorite pictures featured prominently, plus a special review of Sky Blue Sky.

highy messed up freak...

I think he's immensly talented. "Let's Not Shit Ourselves" is one of the best songs of the decade. still need to hear the ep, so if someone could send a link that'd be like cool and stuff. I can't wait to hear his next album. I have high hopes.

I think A Ghost is Born is an incredible piece of work that rewards with every listen. The only thing that sucks is the "drone" but thats what askip button is for.

This is probably my favorite picture of the pre-show party. And that is definetly the best picture I took. And here's all the ones flickr let me upload.I've got some more to come.

Marlins pitchers are dropping like flies!

It was awesome meeting you and Graham! I'm trying to get back to Chicago this summer, so we are definetly going to a Sox game!

I'm going to say no.

Sky Blue Sky (the song) = Far Far Away Anyone else hearing this?

I absolutely adore the lyrics for "Leave Me (Like You Found Me)". Thats when I knew you You might be lonely too Thats what I wished for Somebody just like you To tell me what to do Honestly, you leave me like you found me Can you believe it? I'm somebody just like you Content with being blue Honestly, you leave like you found me I sit on the couch alone Where you sit when I'm not home And I felt so close to you And down the city streets People are climbing the trees They're finally up off their knees Honestly, you leave me like you found me Can you leave my like you found me?

Definetly Not Sucky

Tiny: Wayne. How you doin'? Wayne Campbell: Hey, Tiny, who's playing today? Tiny: Jolly Green Giants and the Shitty Beetles. Wayne Campbell: Shitty Beetles? Are they any good? Tiny: They suck. Wayne Campbell: Then it's not just a clever name.

I didn't mean that shitty beatles thing. This album sounds like a lost Beatles album...

The Shitty Beatles

I'd like to see exactly what everyone requested. Any way we could add that to the original post? I know I did "Dreamer" and thats all I remember...

If people want to post their takes on it I'll change the master post and we can just keep this instead of getting bogged down.

Just got in from the airport, I am exhausted (but i'm sure I'll be up another 3 or 4 hours, you know me!). I'm going to post my pictures tomorrow. I kept on looking through them during my flight, I think have 134 from the weekend and about 90 for just the day of the show. I hope to get them up ometime early tomorrow (they are ridicilously hi resolution, so be prepared for some margin stretching). God, what an amazing weekend. I loved meeting all of you, and I have to see you again real soon. I'm in the tentative stages of planning a potential road trip over the summer, with stops in Atlanta,

http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=27180 That was my take on the album..

This is an especially awesome picture. I can't wait to get through them all!

Pat and John are getting a big too big for their briches. The albumhasn't come out yet, it's time for some controversy!
