I don't know why you're having this problem. Anybody else? Let me see what I can find out.

Any tapers sighted at this show?

That was cool.

Thank you! Straight onto the reading list! This looks fascinating! How is the writing?

PopTodd beat me to saying it....that is a great story!!! I've never read any Ellroy. Where should I begin? I'm currently neglecting the very fine Jefferson bio, "American Sphinx", because my son loaned me a collection of Dave Barry columns, a book called "I'll Mature When I'm Dead". What can I say? Barry is funny! Jefferson, not so much.

These all look pretty intriguing! I didn't like Hotel New Hampshire as much as some of his others. Still liked it a lot. And I agree with Fritz, A Widow for One Year was very good.

Rest in peace, Bert.

Let us know how you like him!

No kidding! I didn't know he was married to her. Innaresting. I'm putting the short stories onto my reading list, along with 25th Hour.

Orange. Alissa kept trying to steal it so I had to hurry up and eat it.

No, I haven't...is it old enough that the library might have it? My book-buying budget is kaput.

Ooh, how is this? I love his writing.

I got it a couple days ago. Fun little package of goodies! The clear pink vinyl is neat, very pale pink. And of course, fun music!

Oh! Give credit where due, I hadn't realized that was a Jim Ford song. I love his songs.

No, it isn't the Buckley song. That's Nick's own, called "36 Inches".

Those pups are adorable.

Thank you. We try to be a board where all opinions can be expressed, so long as they aren't expressed in a way that viciously attacks or insults or baits another member. There's room for varying opinions, and yes, the discussion is interesting.

Yippee, mine's on the way! I haven't had time to listen yet, all the way through, but I sampled the 3 songs and I liked what I heard....as usual, with the M's. You're right, that "The Right Man, for the Right Time (You're a Loser)" is terrific! Steve & Joey & Josh & Rob make some amazing music. Thanks for the tip-off on this!

That's "36 Inches". How'd they handle the vocals on "I Love My Label"? Did Nick & Jeff trade off? You lucky stiffs! I knew they'd do that together eventually....and should've figured they'd do it in honor of Release Day!

Maybe it'll prove to be a grower for you. I love it even more through headphones...all those layers and details to discover.

Very nice setlist coming along here!

Congratulations to a magnificent band on an astoundingly great album! YOU GUYS RAWK the planet! Happy Wilco Release Day to all the lucky fans here at Via Chicago & elsewhere! I trust you've all snapped up cd's and albums by now. Happy (rather loud) listening!

Well, he isn't a doctor yet, just a doctoral candidate. But I know he'll complete it from here. Thanks!

Thanks, everybody! I'm taking him out to dinner Thursday to celebrate.

I think Nick was brilliant, as always, and I'm sure it was a total honor to Wilco to have this legendary musician sharing the stage with them. I thought that moment was one of the set's high points. But then I'm a Nick fan from way, way back.
