The opening scene takes place on the roof of the hotel & it keeps getting replayed throughout the film. It's Jeremy Davies (Faraday from Lost) running on the roof about to jump off of it. The band appears in Entropy. I totally forgot about that.

Million Dollar Hotel is a weird and sad film with beautiful cinematography and great music. Mel Gibson's character has an arm growing out of his neck. I don't think Bono has any lines, but you can definitely spot him as the camera pans the derelicts living in the hotel of the same name. I didn't think that most people knew of Entropy. I know that you can find it on Wiki or IMDB, but what non-U2 fan would sit down to watch it. That probably explains why it's extremely tough to track down. I think it only exists as a VHS which is what I have. I bought it for a buck when my local Blockbuster c

I think you might get a few shows with the Star Wars themed setlists like they did earlier this year and most recently this summer, but with a few more Schmilco songs thrown into the mix. And about halfway through the residency, they'll flip the script and open up with the Hootenanny (or something similar to the acoustic portion of the An Evening With shows) & showcase a lot of tracks from Schmilco and have a rocking ending. I'd bet that they play all of Schmilco on the show on the 9th.

I've seen Bono pop up in The Million Dollar Hotel which he co-wrote & Phil Joanou's Entropy which was autobiographical & self-masturbatory: Phil directed Rattle & Hum. Bono popped up in a similar fashion as Springsteen in High Fidelty. Across The Universe: I'm guessing that Julie Taymor & Bono crossed paths somewhere on Broadway. Bono's MacPhisto character was almost a part of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever. That sort of explains the cool animated video for Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

Ha! Most U2 plans never happen the way that they say it will. The most recent report from Bono is that they expect a new album out soon (later this year/early next year) and the 2nd U.S. leg next spring followed by everywhere else. I'm guessing another tour announcement in December. If the tour does happen in 2017, it will have been 2 full years since they last played the States which I think is a good thing for the band and the fans. They're still expected to use the same stage, but they'll probably pluck out the Innocence songs and put in the new ones from Songs Of Experience. We'll see if t

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGWWIMe8BbI Kygo, a Norwegian DJ and producer, debuted "The Best Thing" -- a new collaboration with U2 at the Cloud Nine festival in his hometown of Bergen, Norway. It sounds like a remix of one of the upcoming songs from Songs Of Experience, but it could also be a standalone track. It definitely sounds like it's another love song for Bono's wife.

You're welcome, Donna! Here's hoping that this gets archived like the Tweedy interview or shows up relatively soon in the Roadcase.

Have you tried it in the the box below Start New Stream? It shows The Band's The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (last song played before EKG) and Radio Free Current next to On Air Now. My stream did just pause for 5 seconds during Impossible Germany, but I didn't miss anything.

Awesome pic from The Current's FB page!

There is a 30 station ID when you click on the broadcast right now and it segues into the live broadcast.

The folks who are worried about the current stagnant setlist should listen to the interview to help put their mind at ease. The Current's Facebook page has photos from Kurt Vile's set. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153658282057657&id=23036132656

Kurt Vile is on stage now, but is not being broadcast. The radio stream is smooth. I heard R.E.M.'s Fall On Me and a Kurt Vile studio track. DJ just said that they expect Wilco to come out at 7:20 CST (8:20EST). They promised an interview with Jeff Tweedy before Wilco comes out. Great station!

After coming out of Hell Or High Water, I grabbed a piece of paper that was a ticket to an advanced screening of The Comedian with Robert DeNiro, Danny DeVito, & Harvey Keitel. Unfortunately, the demand was huge and I didn't get in. Director Taylor Hackford was there to do a Q & A. DeNiro plays an aging insult comic. It's due sometime in February. I'm upset that I missed it, but I hung around to check out Mike Birbiglia's Don't Think Twice set around the world of improv comedy. I'm assuming that the improv scenes weren't scripted. The chemistry between the improv group really raised

Hell Or High Water - an extremely entertaining bank robbery/chase film set in Texas. Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham all deliver fine performances. The script was well done and I enjoyed the interplay between Bridges & Birmingham as Texas Rangers. There were a lot of Texan moments that got laughs in a New England art house theater. Nick Cave & Warren Ellis handle music duties. Elvis & Nixon - this film really took off once Michael Shannon's Elvis meets with Kevin Spacey's Richard Nixon. It's all pretty much speculation as to what was said between those two

Sorry, I was away on vacation and I totally missed this. I don't recall any mystery. I'm definitely going to rent this again (maybe at a 99 cent rental) and put on the subtitles. Blue Ruin is a great film. I'd love to watch it again. Green Room has a lot of green color and Blue Ruin has a lot of blue color. I found Blue Ruin to be more visually appealing and a lot more visually innovative. The green forest around the club in Green Room was a bit too easy. I wonder what he's up to next. I rented Murder Party (his 1st flick from 2007) on iTunes for like $3. I'll watch it over the we

Just Say Goodbye, Shrug & Destroy and If I Ever Was A Child were played according to those keeping track on Facebook. Plus, a fourth one possibly. No setlist anywhere except for SetlistFM which does not know the new song titles. Someone posted a video link, but it's the first 15 minutes. I haven't tried downloading it yet to see if it's the whole show.

Jeff Tweedy was name dropped on episode 5 of Cameron Crowe's Showtime series Roadies. Tweedy was mentioned as singing lead vocal on Miss Begotten for Staton-House Band. This is just the FAKE band that the show is centered around. Lucius also makes an appearance in this episode, after being name dropped at the beginning.

Mass MoCa has plenty of spaces & installations to hide in and not be found. Your move.

Chapman to the Cubs. Nice deal for the Yankees who get 5 players back & the intention of signing Chapman in the winter. Gleyber Torres is the SS prospect coming over from Chicago. OF prospect Billy McKinney joins him along with ex-Yank Adam Warren who was traded to the Cubs for Starlin Castro last December.

Ryan Adams is on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert tonight on CBS.

Yay! Someone is talking about the new song that we have and not the album title. I love both songs. Genuis has the lyrics and they're some of the best Tweedy has written. "I hunt for the kind of pain I can take".
-
Great film. I'd recommend using subtitles because that's my one criticism of the film. Everyone sort of mumbles character names and it's tough to tell who's who. It's extremely violent and claustrophobic. It does take a bit to get going though.
-
I find it odd that people are surprised that Wilco named an album Star Wars after they had a song called Far, Far Away.

Hmm. Excellent info! I love "quite loud" Wilco. I was wondering if Wilco threw us a few curveballs by releasing Locator & If I Ever Was A Child. I guess if they released a few songs off of Star Wars, you still couldn't tell what the final record would sound like. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the upcoming run of shows.
