  1. They only ever show like 8 or 10 awards get accepted. In fact, I don't even think that they had a crawl or freeze frames of the other 40 or so awards.
  2. I would have to ask Jeff Tweedy for courage....
  3. Then you'll love those shows for sure. Be sure to be on the lookout for the 8 or 9 minute version of At Least That's What You Said (edit: 4-21-03) and the original version of Muzzle Of Bees (any of the 03 shows). Also, Via Chicago sounded quite different live back then. Another thing that I loved about that 4-21 show was the early version of Handshake Drugs seamlessly going into Not For The Season. Oh, early versions of Less Than You Think had a definite country twinge to it. Definitely all around a very interesting transitional period.
  4. Wow! I almost posted something similar to this. I think the earlier versions had the drum intro and then later on it had the opening guitar strum then drumming. 9-4-03 is also worthy of a download. Soundboard quality. Edit: (I'm sorry. I just realized that Mike posted this above. It's weird that in two successive years around the same time of year are some of the best sounding soundboards out there. Obviously, 9-2-02 is the other one.) My external hard drive crashed and I lost a lot of my Wilco shows, but they are still on my iPod. I can't comment on the actual differences in arrangement,
  5. Roxbury. It has a pretty high crime rate and seems to always end up on the local news. Although, people seem to think that they are cleaning up the place and that the local news still likes to give them a bad rap. But yeah, I'd stay away. If you're in Charlestown, please try to avoid the banks. The marketing team behind The Town would leave anyone to believe that even bank managers were bank robbers because it was "the bank robbery capital of the world." I think that this was debunked pretty early on. I'll try to post some North End places on here, when I finally talk to my best friend.
  6. Did that email originate from within the NRA?
  7. Wilco should really look into hand delivering their tickets inside boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to all of their fans. I've got dibs on the Samoas.
  8. Anderson Cooper said that Mubarek already had his right hand man in line to take over for him. This right hand man is pretty much in charge of a lot of these dirty & brutal tactics that they have been using for the past couple of decades. If this does happen, then it doesn't sound too great at all. It would be like Adolph Hitler stepping down and being replaced by Hannibal Lecter. Of course, if there was a time machine involved and one of them was real. But in all seriousness, I hope that they know who this right hand man is and not just everyone else in the world. It would be a huge
  9. It probably worked best that no one mentioned anything in the thread and discussed matters with a mod or admin first. Things got real ugly in the past examples that I gave, before the whole thread was yanked. And I think in both situations they both defended themselves and still some VCers attacked them pretty harshly.
  10. Lauren really hit the nail on the head with intention. I mean this was a book about us, for us and was going to be eventually sold to us. Talk about finding your niche market. Edit: (Something that I wanted to write, but slipped my mind was that we have to assume that the book was going to be for sale because the user was going to 6 concerts with expenses that come with it. I/we hope that that book's sole purpose wasn't going to recoup expenses of someone going on a concert road trip. Something similar happened in the How To Fight Loneliness thread where some guy tried to justify scalping his
  11. I'll say it before and I'll say it again: the opening guitar line for One Wing (Lolla version) sounds almost identical to Interpol's opening (10 seconds or so) for Hands Away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGOhKcOEGp0
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMoolg1E0V4&feature=player_embedded# The most bizarre safety video for work I've ever seen. I think if this popped on during training, I would walk out and never come back. Creepy. A bit NSFW in terms of
  13. I bought that Jay-Z & Rihanna track on iTunes, so that it could benefit Haiti. Other than that everything else I have somewhere in my U2 collection. Even the Sinead song was on some Pop b-side (maybe it was a remix, but I'm pretty sure that I have the original somewhere). I would have preferred the cover of Gimme Shelter, instead of Stuck In Moment (from the same Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame event). Definitely wait it out until the week of the show. People will be itching to sell their tickets for any price. U2 still hasn't announced another Boston show which is odd.
  14. Here's the news you've been waiting for (has it really though?): confirmed tracks and artists on 'U2 Duals', the limited-edition CD of U2 collaborations performed and recorded over three decades. From the Soweto Gospel Choir to Allan Ginsberg, Willie Nelson to Mary J Blige and Mick Jagger to Green Day, the band have curated a collection of 'duals' which highlight the remarkable range of artists they've worked with. A few of the fifteen tracks have featured on studio albums, but many have had only limited previous availability and some are released here for the first time. We think it'
  15. Hmm. Then I guess I should keep my John looks like Jim Perdue comments to myself.... Although, the cold temperatures at the Loft could very well explain how he got into the frozen chicken business.
  16. I also saw this one thanks to NetFlix. It was very bleak and dreary, but really well done. I'm not sure if I agree completely with Hawkes' nomination or even a Best Pic nom. Sam Rockwell seemed like a sure lock for his turn in Conviction. Anyways, while watching this I couldn't help but think how this realistic turn by Jennifer Lawrence was amazing. She somehow remarkably held the whole film together. What an awesome role and performance. Then when I saw Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine, I also thought that she did an amazing job. I almost hope that they somehow upset Portman in their respe
  17. Clearly, this is the band's response to the various threads on here about their last album and this one coming up. I don't know. They seem to be really close together in the studio which translates into another folksy record. (sarcasm)
  18. 127 Hours - I really didn't like the film that much. {follow me into spoiler land for my thoughts} Buried - I really, really loved this film. It took me by surprise. I should note that I saw this earlier last week before I saw 127 Hours. Blue Valentine - Fantastically amazing film with two very strong performances. Very memorable and surreal at points. I had a little doubt with Cianfrance's structuring of the film, but these quickly subsided when I saw what he was doing with time and memories. A real crime that this didn't make it into the 10 Best Picture nominees. Oh well. I don't r

  20. I think I have one of those June 95 NYC MSG shows on vhs tape. Some guy out of NYC used to tape all of the shows in the area and posted ads in Goldmine under Living After Midnite. I met the guy in person at the old Hartford, CT record shows and he looks like a redheaded Inspector Clouseau when he tries to pull Dreyfus' teeth in The Pink Panther Strikes Again. Uncanny. I'll try to dig that video up somewhere. Although, I'm sure that folks might have it around here. Edit: Well, I seem to remember that it has Near Wild Heaven. I don't think I have that amazing R.E.M. link with all of their set
  21. Hmmm....I wonder if they will criticize music videos and MTV's current slate of "reality" programming. I think that that would be great. Also, I'm assuming that they are going to be the same age, but wouldn't it be funny if Judge aged them 15 years and they are still doing the same thing?
  22. I'm pretty sure that that sex tape was actually of a woman who looks like Meg White...a little bit (in certain parts. ) Anyways, I just did some research and yeah that's not her.
  23. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjBDwyhMDqg I had no idea that they were on Letterman. My Comcast doesn't always have the right information for shows like this, so needless to say I was pleasantly surprised.
  24. Elton & Leon to perform on Letterman Wednesday night February 9th. A bit odd considering this record came out last October. Oh well, this should be interesting for folks that missed out on the live broadcast of their 3 hour show on Fuse from NYC's Beacon Theater .
  25. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niEIuwLCCiQ&feature=player_embedded This happened at the exit before mine in New Hampshire. No idea how that car is suspended in the air like that. It looks like an exhibit at Mass MoCa.
