  1. Kinda hard to "..travel from coast to coast" while doing prison time. Wouldn't you agree?
  2. I was at that show as well and remember talking about it here. We were in the second row and when we made the rush up to the stage, Jeff was a bit surprised - he had made a remark that (because my wife was dressed so nice) he thought that we were just there on a date. I have only been to 4 Wilco shows, but this was my favorite. Jeff played a lot on the electric guitar and there was a "freshness" to the way everyone played since Nels & Pat had not been with the band for very long at that point. It was the first time I heard the alternate ending to Ashes and the live "feedback duel" between
  3. I made a big move to a different state 7 weeks ago - haven't changed residences in 25 years so it was a big thing. So many things still unsettled after nearly 2 months. I have to thank Mr. Tweedy & son for making me get my big butt down under my desk, on the hardwood floor and finally hooking up my PC speakers so I could listen to this. Love it. Kinda has a Corduroy Cutoff Girl vibe for me.
  4. Feed Of Man is featured in Jason Bateman's new movie Bad Words. Funny movie, great song.
  5. Wish UT would put out a live album. I know they talked about the possibility of dong it. My favorite is one they did on 10/15/93. The sound quality of that show is incredible and the performance was fantastic. I literally listen to it several times a week.
  6. Jeff & Susie, I think you probably read the posts on this board, so I would say go, be together and get better - beat this thing. If we don't hear from you for awhile, we'll miss you, but we will still be here when you get back and are healthy and happy.
  7. Good choice, I forgot about that one. It has such a nice intimate feel, sounds great on headphones & beautiful guitar. I would also vote for Thanks I Get, especially when it's done live with The Total Pros.
  8. This one might bend the rules, but I like the sound of it: Nochicken'severgonnastandinmyway(again)
  9. Just bought the Roadcase concert they did at Stubb's in October. $6.75 in MP3 format. 34 songs for just a little more than what a cheap Little Caesars pizza costs. .. and a lot more tastey too!
  10. I'm probably not telling anybody anything new here, but there is an excellent recording of UT on Dime a Dozen currently. The Vic Theatre, on 1993-10-15. I know Analogman has the link & setlist in the Future Age section. I have never heard a better live recording of them, I think it was meant for an FM broadcast. The final song, a cover of Susie Q, was included on the reissue album with a slightly different mix. If you are looking for live Uncle Tupelo and until or if a offical live recording is released, you gotta grab this one.
  11. Carlin at Carnegie was incredible . So were his parodies of AM radio and daytime television he did in the 60's. They may seem cheesy by today's standards, but were ahead of their time back them.
  12. Jumping Jack Flash & Street Fighting Man - Rolling Stones (live from "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out") Hoedown & Aquatrakus - ELP (live from "Welcome Back My Friends...") Ziggy Startdust & The Spiders from Mars - David Bowie - all of side b Love My Way - Psychedelic Furs Not Where It's At - Del Amitri As Far As I Know - Paul Westerberg Lately I have been listening to an edited version of Uncle Tupelo's October 15th 1993 performance at the Vic Theatre every night. It was a great recording of the show.
  13. Are we talking about listening to the same song every day, or sitting down keep hitting the repeat/rewind button or moving the tone arm back every time the song ends?
  14. Funny, I always saw Louis CK more as Woody Allen - especially the way he approaches his TV show. Funniest thing I saw him do in recent memory was a paraody of his own show, but as Abraham Lincoln on SNL. Couldn't stop laughing at the skit's song over the opening credits (Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln instead of Louie, Louie, Louie).
  15. I'm not an H&O fan either. However, I remember the excitement I felt when I discovered even names that eventually became big in the 70's: David Bowie, ELP... even Elton John, John Denver and, yes, Cat Stevens. But I also remember hearing about REM & the Replacements in the 80's - and getting my first taste of Paul Westerberg when my step-daughter took me to see the movie "Singles". Those were great times. I probably would have never really discovered the Jayhawks, Wilco, Fountains of Wayne, Mathew Sweet or Big Star if it wasn't for Napster in the 00's. Just wish HOF could provide that
  16. Listen to the albums Machine Head or Made in Japan. Highway Star, Woman From Tokyo, Space Trucking. Oh wait, we're you joking?
  17. Sorry, don't mean to disrespect KISS, but I think the HOF should educate - turn people on to bands they have never heard before and experience the joy of dicovering music they never knew about. I mean I remember the excitement of discovering artists I never heard before but had been around for awhile . Maybe they should have a separate wing for the greatest artists that were commercal failures
  18. Sadly enough, I believe Kiss is in the lead in the Rolling Stone voting, while The Replacement is running dead last and don't even have 4% of the vote yet. I think Nirvana is running second behind Kiss or is tied. But then I guess no one has ever gone broke or failed under-estimating the crappyness concerning the tastes of the general American public.
  19. Not that it would really do any good, but you can cast up to 5 votes on the Rolling Stone website http://m.rollingstone.com/music/news/vote-for-the-2014-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-inductees-20131016 I did did more just to set the voting results so far.
  20. There was one in my back yard about 3 weeks ago - about 4 feet long - had to pay a guy 30 dollars to grab it and take it away - never will forget the sound of that rattle.
  21. If your are a pathetic uber-fanboy, then there must be a club you, me and my wife can join :-) We started watching season 1 again too! It's so much fun to see Walter White as Mr. Chips as he slowly decends into becoming Scarface.
  22. FeLiNa Fe = Iron= Blood Li = Lithium = Meth NA = Sodium = Tears This was one of the best, but I will never forget the finale of the second Bob Newhart show.
  23. Compare this to the ending of Dexter - which actually I didn't even watch.
