Sir Stewart

Amen. That shit is fucked.

Funkadelic

Oh hell yes. My roommate's girlfriend worked for HBO back in the back in the, and we had copies of that first season's eps before they aired. Many a herb got smokeyed while we were diggin' on something no one else had yet seen...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/1...r.ap/index.html Prince CD giveaway angers industry LONDON, England (AP) -- Prince has angered the music industry and stirred up trouble among British retailers by giving away his new album with a tabloid newspaper this weekend. "Planet Earth" will be packaged with the Mail on Sunday at a price of $2.80. The giveaway has been roundly criticized as a major blow for an industry already facing rapidly declining CD sales. It has led Sony BMG UK, Prince's local label, to pull the plug on its own sales release of the CD in Britain. International

That trip had a bad ending yesterday - I was listening, on my company's iTunes network, to somebody else's copy of that, and the grand finale of "All Along The Watchtower" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" skipped so badly I couldn't listen to them!!!

Forget it.

It's not controversy, it's a thread on a Wilco message board that remarks upon...all the stuff I've said above. I'm not talking about racism. The original title of the thread was "irreverent", yes. But the point of the thread was serious. It's interesting to me enough to start a thread.What's becoming more interesting is the number of people leaping into the fray to deny that Wilco is racist. Jesus. Your crying lemon is not avatar-worthy.

Anyone have The Manor Sessions?

Yeah, I never thought of it as racist. The fact that SBS is the official album of this ad campaign though. I mean. It's weird. Christ, I'm starting to feel like jnickerson.

I'd like to get my hands on this again. I had it on cassette way back - Ian says "Tah! Fookin' excellent!" after almost every tune.

What, in your mind, is thread-worthy then?I was sitting at home, watching a baseball game, and a VW ad with Wilco music comes on. An hour later, a similar VW ad comes on, the big differences being it features black actors and no Wilco music. We all know that SBS is the official album of this new VW campaign. I found this interesting and yes, thread-worthy, to talk about. I'm not implying Wilco is racist. I'm not implying anything, I'm noting something about race/popular culture that has to do with Wilco. How the flying fffff is that not thread-worthy, you twat? It wasn't recognizable to me. I

And I think it's worthy of discussion, no matter what a mod thinks (I realize the other thread went off the rails). It's interesting, if nothing else, that the one ad from this "gets into you" campaign that features black actors is also the only one that does not feature Wilco music. I think it's kind of fucked up. What do YOU think?

Jesus Christ not only did I have that same poster, but it sounds like I have the same brother. Waitaminnit...

I was hoping to keep that Hiram Bocachica bit going through the rest of the season.

Another post on this topic.

I didn't realize Dave Stewart had replaced Brad Whitford.

That will haunt me to the end of the web.

It is if you had schoolwork or workwork to do in that 2 days.

I'm almost halfway through the Half-Blood Prince. My goal (from March) of reading all the books before the new one comes out looks like it's within reach.

Did I really say sorry to 65days? WTF?

Yeah, not exactly SAB.

Too far out is all. I haven't bought a Cult album since Ceremony. I remember picking up that and Blood Sugar Sex Magic on the same day and remarking as the sign of the times that I bought BSSM on CD and Ceremony on cassette. Probably the last cassette tape I ever bought. Either that or the Use Your Illusions.

THAT makes sense. Which makes me disappointed. You had a legendary streak going! Okay, I'm done. No more personal attacks. I'm sorry.
