    I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

    Have to agree. Have seen roughly 50 Wilco shows, including all but first SSF, and this was an absolute top-tier scorcher.

    Logging in after a long hiatus to say that this is fantastic and that everyone who logs into this message board will probably love it. I like it all, even the Parquet Courts mashup. Agree with others that the Vile cut is a standout. But honestly they are all solid.

    Fair warning: there is stuff in the later chapters that will definitely choke you up. The story about the inscription on Jeff’s father’s grave about broke me in two.

    FWIW, I knocked out a few chapters of the audio version read by Jeff this morning, and I loved it. Laughed out loud a few times during intro. Hearing Jeff read it is the way to go. In a couple of places, his reading affects the meaning of the text. This is true of most good memoirs, of course, but if you’re reading this, you probably already think Jeff’s voice and inflection are the key to why his banter is great. So far, I would say that anyone who reads this board or has been to SSF will enjoy this very much.

    Hi - my friend Dave and I will be going for our third time. Last time, we covered our trip and wrote it up (links below). Not covering this time - just fun. It would be cool to meet some of you in person. Is there a meet up or some indicator of VC membership? http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/patrick-and-dave-go-to-solid-sound-2015-an-oral-history-transcribed-from-imaginary-basement-tapes-part-1 http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/patrick-and-dave-go-to-solid-sound-2015-an-oral-history-transcribed-from-imaginary-basement-tapes-part-2-of-3 http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/pat

    Looks like KEXP will be doing a deep dive on Bowie to celebrate his birthday / death. http://blog.kexp.org/davidbowie/ It was a year ago this week that KEXP both celebrated the birth and then shockingly, mourned the death of David Bowie at the age of 69. With the help of both those who knew him best and the man himself, KEXP will dig deep into his influential catalog of music spanning nearly 50-years. Beginning Sunday, January 8th, on what would have been David Bowie’s 70th birthday, and culminating Tuesday, January 10th on the one-year anniversary of his passing, KEXP DJs John Richard

    The streaming quality is remarkable. Technology continues to blow my mind. At this level of quality, I have to ask: Why doesn't Wilco start streaming all of it shows via the website? We would all watch them, right?

    Solid album. Features Wayne Shorter, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Brian Blade. We reviewed it on a recent podcast: http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/episode-227-norah-jones-day-breaks
