  1. wow what a night!!! the opening act, neil hamburger, was a little bit confusing on how god awful he was. i dont know if i missed the joke but the whole audience thought he was a really crappy he was. but onto the d, they started out just the 2 of them, but then "died" went to "hell" where they were joined by the anti-christ on guitar, charlie chaplin on bass, and colonel sanders on drums. funny stuff. they played a bunch of new material and did some classic comedy.

  2. my first wilco concert was august 12, 2000 at chicago's rock the river. i was a ripe old age of 12 and i did not want to go. my dad basically dragged me to see them, and ever since that night, i was hooked. about 5 1/2 years later, at the living room concert in barrington, my dad talked to jeff tweedy on my cell phone, telling him how he had to drag me to see them. thanks dad.

    What? With the riff and the syncopated beat? Please..

     

     

    i dont know if you heard the song hallo gallo by neu, but spiders sounds ridiculously close to it.

     

     

    if is that the thanks i get doesnt make the cut, ill be bummed. and jhc (john!! whats up?) is right. it is interesting how we havent heard 2 songs that was menioned.

  4. hey all, i just got back from the screening of my morning jacket's concert film, okonokos. first off, i have got to say is :rock . these guys are fantastic. they give a really high energy performance here (they always do live), and i really recommend that people pick up this dvd. it is flat out brilliant

  5. i love it except for can't stand it

     

    i remember reading somewhere (greg kot book?) that "can't stand it" was something that reprise mixed to try to make the band more commercial. i personally think that production-wise bennett made some good and some bad decisions. she's a jar, i'm always in love, my darling, and pieholden suite are examples of great songs on this album. i think this album has too many tracks, like we're just friends and (i know i'm going to get yelled at) nohing'severgoingtostandinmyway(again). i love how to fight loneliness was done on the bonus dvd of iattbyh.

     

    my 2 cents

  6. Anyone else seeing a trend developing here with the youngsters and their "elitism" rants. Is this what teaching in colleges these days? "Don't trust anyone" "Fuck everyone" blah blah blah. Looks like insecurity to me.

     

    i am a freshman in college and what ive been taught to be tolerant. to me, each person has their own viewpoints and whether i like it or not i probably cant change them. so, i just go with the flow and if i see a comment i dont agree with, whatever, that is that person's view on things. there are too many good people on this website to let one or two people making dumb comments ruin it for me. anyways, i hope this isnt too insecure for people (joke :P )

  7. from http://wilcoworld.net/news/index.php

     

    "Although we normally go WAY out of our way to avoid responding to things like this, we feel obligated to address some sensationalized stories about Monday night's Wilco show in Springfield, Missouri.

    Here's a brief synopsis of what happened. It was clear fairly early on that security was a a bit lax at the Shrine Mosque. We had decided in advance to not have a barricade in front of the stage (a mistake?) so the band and crowd could be as close together as possible. The band prefer it that way.

     

    Fairly early in the set, there were a couple of people shoving and roughing up others in front of the stage. Jeff asked everyone to calm down and respect each other and when things did, the band resumed the set.

     

    At the end of the main set, a woman sneaked up a back stairway and entered from a side stage door. Shortly thereafter she ran onto the stage and sat on the piano bench next to keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen while the band played "Poor Places". She was heavily intoxicated and was removed from the stage by several members of the band's crew.

     

    As that situation was getting dealt with, another arose. During the first encore a young man jumped onto the stage and did the requisite salute to his pals. While we certainly do not encourage that kind of behavior, we were prepared to let it go, as he was, it seemed, heading back into the crowd. Just when it appeared he was walking off the stage he turned around and moved towards Tweedy from behind. Jeff did not see him approaching, but felt the guy

  8. 3. We were lucky to go up against Dennis Green, one of the most consisent bad coaches in the NFL.

     

    thats a very good reason. man, my floor (im in a dorm) went absolutely nuts. i also retract my earlier comment. i actually gained some respect for matt leinart; he had a hell of a game til the 4th quarter, and i think he has a bright future in the NFL

    Where you will look for me

    Where I'm going you cannot come

     

    No one's ever gonna take my life from me

    I lay it down

    damn you beat me to it!!! best line ever!!! but to be different, i would also add:
