Stray Cats, The Forum, Harrisburg, PA, 1982.

Drive My Car - a local FM station plays the "toot-toot beep-beep" part as the intro/outro to their traffic report which they broadcast every 10 mins. or so during morning & evening rush hour. It's a song I used to be ambivalent about, but after several years of this I can honestly say I hate DMC. (

I think this is inevitable, but can we wait 2 years until we raise it for folks 50 and under?

Skylarking Nonsuch 25 O'Clock English Settlement Mummer Oranges & Lemons Psonic Psunspot Apple Venus Vol.1 Big Express Skylarking is at the top of my list of darn near perfect albums, along with Stone Roses S/T, Let it Bleed, More Fun in the New World, YHF, and a couple others I can't think of right off the top of my head. I've not listened to the pre-English Settlement albums that much (just the singles) so they're not on my list.

Golden Palominos The Good, The Bad & The Queen Danny and Dusty Love the Dukes, too.

For me the Olympics were more fun to watch before the fall of communism - fewer evil empires to root against these days.

There's been plenty of discussion about this project (including some of the folks directly involved in the film) for the past couple of months over on the IMCT board. Here's the thread link if anyone wants to dig in: http://www.clashcity....php?f=7&t=7949

We saw Moonrise Kingdom last weekend and while not quite on par with Rushmore & Tenenbaums (Rushmore is still my favorite version of Andersonville for many of the same reasons that Beltmann so eloquently stated, plus I had a huge crush on Olivia Williams' character) I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the film. I found it easier to buy into Andersonville in a relatively isolated setting with a small cast of characters. When that world is expanded the facade slips a bit.

Here are two collages from the past couple of years with Wilco-related titles. The titles came about some time later, when I realized they were somewhat related to the images - my apologies for the size of the jpgs: Hey Chicken. 2006. collage and charcoal on found book page. 7 x 4-1/2 in. Private Collection. Muzzle of Bees. 2011. collage and shellac on paper, mounted on glass. 8-1/4 x 7-1/2" (framed). Private Collection

Isn't it a federal crime to put stuff in other folks' mailboxes w/o paying postage? I'll be curious to hear how this story plays out.

Honestly, I don't see all that much about her in the media. Then again, I'm not out there looking for her - I guess I'm not reading the right newspapers.

How about a compromise: dueling keytars!

We definitely got the Rockin' Wilco setlist for St Augustine, maybe because they were dealing w/ a fairly tight curfew. I Noticed Jeff looking off-stage a couple of times during the encore, probably checking how much time they had left. We really had a great time - no problems w/ anybody in our center area down by the stage. Loved loved loved the acoustic Spiders. Also, we bumped into John downtown the next day which was a pleasant surprise.

Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky" is today's featured article on the front page of Wikipedia.

Note to editor: On the first two pages the word "coiffed" is used twice.

apparently he's not "alternative" enough.

I think Jay would've run out of instruments sometime in 2004. I'd love to hear more collaboration with O'Rourke - perhaps another Loose Fur album?

A quick check of High Road Touring shows Purling Hiss as openers for WIlco May 10-19 - can't say I've heard of them.

I'll bend the rules and say 1975-1985.

Thanks for the head's up! I've just ordered one of the '06 Stampede posters.
