It's mainly for kids... but a very cool concept!

Not sure what was said, but Pat Sansone actually plays the piano on Ryan Adams' recording of "Come Pick Me Up". True story.

yeah, we saw that guy and had to do a triple take. he really has the Keith look down - all the way down to the skull jewelry and the hair. at one point he was standing next to us and i realized he was wearing patchouli, and that's when i figured out it wasn't him.

it's a joke. from a humor newspaper. and in a way it seems to be poking fun at the people who ARE caught hanging out at Wilco shows (hence the reason teens aren't). you're giving them more material.

Meta - Definition: self-referential; referring to itself or its characteristics, esp. as a parody; about And Speed Racer, thank you for your apology. It's hard to read tone on the board sometimes, but I assure you it was meant as a joke. Now go enjoy your coffee.

and now you're just being mean-spirited. it's funny how the people who have been on this board the longest make it so difficult for everyone else to get comfortable here.

exactly my point! thank you and Speed Racer - don't you see that you are falling right into the trap of acting like the person i was making fun of?? i never brought up wanting to know the location of the loft... you did! you brough that into this thread. i was making a joke, and you took it upon yourself to make it something more. i don't know if you were being sarcastic, but ... yes. that's actually kind of what i was trying to do... got blown out of proportion.

oy vey... it kind of takes the funny out if you have to explain it. i was poking fun at people who get all up in arms anytime someone asks for/mentions any detail about the loft. it was a joke. and then people got all up in arms over it. very meta. just pretend it never happened.

um... no, actually. As Speed Racer would say, "maybe try again".

Read my whole post and realise that it was sarcasm. Maybe try again? PS: you're exactly the type of fan I was referring to...

OMG! I can't believe Wilco is publicizing pictures of the loft. Doesn't Wilco know that Wilco are real people who deserve privacy? Don't they know that information about the loft is fiercely guarded by self-righteous uber-fans? What will those fans have to claim as insider info now?? I'm so pissed. Wilco should respect Wilco more than this...

yeah, somehow i doubt it. they just spent a couple of weeks touring the northeast and upstate NY.

In Your Ear on Mount Auburn St. in Harvard Square is great, too!

When we were at the will call window we heard a woman saying to the ticket guys "Jeff Tweedy is my brother" and she had a couple of kids in tow, so I'm assuming they are his neices/nephews... and I imagine they're the same kids who were getting so much attention from the band

listen, i think you probably just wanted to let everyone know that you are on the guest list, but for argument's sake, we will pretend that this was a real question. if you are put on the list by a band or crew member, then there will be an after-show pass inside your will call envelope. it's not all-access, it's just meant for whatever the "backstage" area is post-show.

they don't call him Billy... just sayin'.

Matzah Brie with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. YUM!

Hi All, I am selling two tix to Antony & The Johnsons at Berklee Performance Center in Boston on Feb. 22nd. They are in row DD, seats 2 & 4, and I am selling them for below face. With Ticketmaster charges, the total was $88. I will sell them for $70. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!

uhh.... this IS the internet.

i LOVE Achtung Baby, and while I don't think that post was written by Jeff, I wouldn't put it past him to love this album. IMO, it is a masterpiece created not only by U2, but by Eno and Lanois (two of the most talented and respected producers of our time). Beautiful production, timeless melodies and interesting sonic landscape... I grew up on it and it was and remains one of my all time favorites - one of the few I can listen to start to finish time and again. and on a semi-related note: i caught Daniel Lanois live last week and I have to say it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I have to agree with you on your take on LouieB in the locked thread. I always feel like he's talking down to me. It's too bad, because I agree with him on most things.

why are you so difficult and unhelpful to someone who is nicely asking for help?

Pat actually plays bass in many (most) of the other bands he plays with. He's no newbie to that.... he's just a talented dude.

i didn't realize you weren't allowed to show support for another candidate in public at a wilco show! horror! i am a big obama fan too, but when we "liberal lefties" start getting too self-righteous, or indignant about people's freedom to support whichever candidate they want, then we're no better than they are... just sayin'...

You're not saying that because you happened to read the review in the Boston Globe, and are paraphrasing Joan Anderman, right? No.... From the Globe: Singer-songwriter, violinist, and virtuoso whistler Andrew Bird opened the show with a set of riveting little dramas built of loops and Latin flavors, the Beatles and spaghetti Westerns, mysterious neuroses and impossibly smart wordplay. Somebody give this man an independent film to score. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/20..._at_tanglewood/
