Bump for the purpose of more investigation Merge thread?

Andrew Bird opened the Wilco show at Tanglewood and never came out once to play with the band like he did at The Winter Residency. Unless, if he was plugged in backstage and played along. It's highly possible. But it should be noted that it has the highest ranking on iTunes out of the whole soundtrack (18 songs). Marketing genius or pure deception? You decide.

I reported awhile back that according to Amazon.com's listing a month or so ago that it was listed as Jesus, Etc. (Tanglewood Live Version) Kristofor Edit: Apparently, Amazon.com says Jesus, Etc. is from Andrew Bird now! LOL WTF? Oh well. I was there like someone mentioned and he never came out. It could be the people at Sony lying to get people to buy the song or moreso the soundtrack.

I'm happy Country Disappeared got played even if it was the last US Summer show. I was wondering about the gig too. I thought it didn't happen since nothing showed up on here. Is VC the nexus of the universe? I think it might just be.

I was out dining at Outback Steakhouse in Tyngsboro, MA last Thursday night and lo & behold Kamera came on. Very cool. So I texted my good friend who works there and told him (he's seen them 3 times - Boston Pavillion 07, Tanglewood 08, Lowell 09). He said that he's heard I'm The Man Who Loves You, Heavy Metal Drummer and just last night he heard Secret Of The Sea (!?!!) on their satellite radio station. Kristofor

My link A friend of mine found me the script to this and I can say that I wholeheartedly enjoyed the shit out of it. It's completely an ode to the films of the 80s especially Better Off Dead. While this teaser is selling the premise, I can assure you there are plenty of memorable lines, sight gags and other sick and twisted jokes and one final plot twist that will be talked about for awhile. Enjoy, Kristofor PS It'd help if I said who's in it. The movie stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Armstrong, Clark Duke, Chevy Chase, Crispin Glover and a Poison tribute band that escapes me.

And the use of the word "palatable" threw me off.

Crow Daddy Magnus, What state are you in? I'm assuming it's one that hasn't been touched yet by the band on this tour.

Ha. My best friend pointed that out to me when we were far away the first time we saw them play with Mikael in 2003. From our vantage point that's who he reminded him of. But Mikael is a very nice guy who I was fortunate enough to speak with after a Portland, Maine show......Your Honor

Actually, Tweedy tweeded me the other night and said he can't stand it when Nels gets all the attention up there. In fact, at one of the recent ball park shows Jeff grabbed a ball that was autographed by Nels and ran off with it to a local pawn shop. He traded it in for this.... But to answer your question seriously or more serious than before: I don't think Jeff really cares or has time to notice if Nels' side has more people. Those people could really be Mikael Jorgensen fans or people double checking to see if 1970s Woody Allen time traveled in a hot tub time machine to play with Wilco f

Well, after looking at the setlist for the Michigan show from last night something occurred to me: I'd love to just see Wilco do a show like this over the next year. I'm not looking to get 31 songs per night but it does leave things open without having an opening act. Yes, it also leaves out possible guests on songs. In my head it would be cool for the band to tour like this for maybe a year. They could maybe like they do now spread out shows and play for a certain length of time like 6 weeks and rest for however long than come back again. While I'm grateful to have Wilco be a band that se

Yeah, Wilco should only have an opening act if culled from the following bands: I'm all for An Evening With! (in the future)

That's fantastic about the baseballs! Great idea.

That is one fucking setlist right there. Good for you guys. Of course having seen them 1 week ago today on the infamous Lowell rain out, I'm a bit bummed. (in Costanza voice) I Demand Reparations!! Kristofor PS Just got back from Elton & Billy at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. Amazing.

Yeah, it's pretty great quality. I just clicked on each song to double check and it sounds great. I approve this recording. Go get em. Kristofor PS Kickass setlist too obviously.

In Lowell, I had them coming on at 8:40ish. "Going to the show at the Main State Pier Friday. Not a huge Conor Oberst fan, but wouldn't mind checking him out, but also a huge Red Sox fan and want to see our phenom pitcher make his 2009 debut for a little while, anyone have info on how quick they go on after doors and when Wilco goes on after doors? Thanks." I think Theo has Clay coming up so they can show him off to the Blue Jays in hopes to trade him for Halladay. What do you think? Kristofor

From WXRT mailing list that I somehow am still subscribed to. (I live in NH) "Wilco's coming - and Lin's back! Lin Brehmer returns to the XRT morning show on Monday to announce details of Wilco's upcoming XRT Show in Chicago. Tune in at 8am for the news."

I think that reviewer got Impossible Germany confused with Spiders. Impossible or Unlikely. June 23, 2003: Bank Of America Pavillion Boston, MA. August 6, 2004 State Theater Portland, ME (1st time I met the band) October 1, 2004 Wang Theater Boston, MA October 2, 2004 Shapiro Gymnasium (!!) at Brandeis University Waltham, MA October 3, 2004 Calvin Theater Northampton, MA June 24, 2005 Agganis Arena at Boston University Boston, MA {Jeff Tweedy} November 13, 2005 Calvin Theater Northampton, MA (Met Jeff again and finally got my picture taken with him) April 19, 2006 Merrill Auditorium

Band members spotted in Lowell: A friend of mine at the show said that he heard from a friend that Nels was at Brew'd Awakenings (coffe shop) which is next to the Blue Shamrock. John and Pat were also spotted at The Worthen House which is quite a hike from the Park. It's about 10 minutes walking from Cobblestone's. Anyways, it's pretty cool that members went to places that I frequent. My friend's alt-country band played both places over the past couple of years. FYI, the Lowell taper is looking for someone to upload his show to a torrent site. http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/4082

Slightly off topic: It should be noted that Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, & Amy Adams just began principal photography today in Lowell, MA for The Fighter. As some of you may know, the film is about Lowell's own Mickey Ward and his half-brother Dickie Ecklund. Both boxers. The film will be directed by David O'Russell. I mention this only because it did cross my mind that maybe one of these actors would be at the show. They've been in town allegedly for a little while. Kristofor

http://www.oldies.com/product-view/4852GD.html This website has it for a very reasonable $16.95. I bought it back when Tower Records was in business. Are there any Newbury Comics or other type of record stores where you live? I'm sure this would be a token Used DVD to find very cheap. I can look for you next time I hit up Newbury Comics. Kristofor
