I think the best and simplest way to dictate the design of the next album is this way: Wilco should book an arena and sell tickets to every single VC member. They should set up a stage in the round with 6 chairs in a circle facing the audience -us. Wilco comes out and sits there for 2 hours quietly. VC members spend 2 hours telepathically shooting ideas to the band. Once the 2 hours are up the band leaves and heads directly to the Loft. As soon as the album comes out we should meet in a thread and see who got to the band first and hard.

Only if the band was shot up with Liquid Karma. (it's a Southland Tales reference that probably no one will get)

The band had I think 3 options to download a track that didn't fit onto Wilco (The Album) It was an old Woody Guthrie lyric that they added music to in the times of our current banking crisis. 1. Donate some amount to a charity 2. Download the song for free and promise to pay later 3. Download the song for free and live with the guilt forever The Jolly Banker

I've always thought bands should do something like this and have proceeds go to charities. I'm sure we all remember The Jolly Banker thing from this past spring?

Damn I thought that this was supposed to start at 4ish EST.

He's actually going to use his likeness to take over for Hobbes the cat in Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin And Dobbs. The Sunday newspaper cartoon is the real place to indoctrinate the youth of our country. If they actually read newspapers. Oh, and you don't want to know how he gets rid of Hobbes.

Thanks! I've actually seen fake dates on their message board. Coincidentally, after I listened to Backspacer Saturday night I put on FlashFoward on my dvr. The first thing that I heard is The End. Very strange at the time.

No I was only kidding. But at a certain point it became all caps. Did it start for Sky Blue Sky?

I finally sat down to read the Graphic Novel for Southland Tales. It is the 1st 3 chapters of the story. The film consists of chapters 4-6. It was always planned this way and I'm not sure how many people went out to buy this. Ultimately, it was gamble that didn't pay off financially. I loved the film and thought I understood mostly everything. This has helped a lot to clarify some things. The richness and the depth of the story here reminds me of Watchmen. For those that are unfamiliar, Southland Tales was the follow up to Donnie Darko for director Richard Kelly. His third film The Box

What I'd love to know is how did I miss this yesterday in the thread?! Sir Stewart, are you in another dimension new galaxy intergalactic planetary?

I'm surprised Throwing Copper didn't make the list.

Did you see an episode of The Daily Show last week where Jon Stewart did a spot on impression of Beck? I think it was the day after he fell ill with appendicitis.

I'm taking the mickey.

This has got to be one of the best live dvds that I've ever seen. The crowd is beyond into it same goes for the band. Usually on live dvds I feel like the artist holds back so that when you see them and they're much better you're really surprised.

I don't recall if I posted this in here before, but I heard What Light and Airline To Heaven at my local Uno's in Nashua, NH two Wednesdays in a row at the same exact time. 12:30a.m. Definitely satellite radio. Or a sign from God.

Queen's Flash Theme is way better than anything Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, or Tom Waits have ever put out. Smashing Pumpkins are an amazing live band. Jeff Tweedy, Billy Corgan, Robert Smith, and Jack White could make the best supergroup and last forever.

"Metric's early stuff is much better than the current record." is usually spoken with a supernatural idea that people now know who Metric are including the person with whom you are speaking with.

You take part in the Hipster Olympics.

It's odd but I'll tell this story anyways. A real good friend of mine (into death metal & Tool/NIN) took his niece to see Taylor in Boston in July. I guess she opened up for one of those dime-a-dozen country guys. Not sure who. But he said one thing that stuck with me that almost frightened him to make this statement: "Taylor Swift is going to be huge. Huge. The next big act." I asked him why he would think that. You know what evidence did he gather from that show to make him make such a statement. He told me "She sold every single piece of merchandise before (....) came out. I tried to bu

This really should spawn a thread about Wilco VS. WILCO

Going out in public dressed like this. You prefer this over cancer sticks.
