It usually takes a few hours before more the first snatch, especially if there are a lot of leechers. This is quite normal. Once there are more seeders. it'll really take off. Thanks a lot, King John.

If I could rid the world of one tune

Since all of my choices have been taken, I'll go with.....(drumroll)...... Hollaback Girl-Gwen Stefani I throw up on that song. -
Tragedy in the land of the Hokies

from the Chicago Sun Times: http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/343354...h041607.article April 16, 2007 BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist Authorities were investigating whether the gunman who killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history was a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on a student visa. The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai, the source said. Investigators have not linked him to any terrorist groups, the source said. Police believe th -
I think I'm gonna have to download these clips and make some sort of mini-DVD out of them, so that the fans (especially the ones who were there) can have this in their collection to remember this show by. The banter is absolutely priceless!

Oh yeah, i totally concur. That's got to be the shot! That is one of the best(and funniest) concerts pictures I've ever seen up here. That same picture is also my desktop background.
-
This is true. I just listened to parts of it for the first time, and the sound is terrific! It's about as good an audience recording as I can remember ever hearing. Of course, i may be a little biased due to the quality of the show itself, but i think it sounds great. Thanks again, MKH.

I often compare SBS to Wilco. I find that the comparison fits perfectly.

I would download this. I like it a lot. It plays AND converts FLAC. files. If you have any questions and how to use it, pm me! http://www.foobar2000.org/

This is a bit of a bummer for me, but then i decided to click a link on that website which led me to this: http://www.thinkindie.com/ Apparently these stores also sell a bunch of exclusive stuff, and there are locations in Chicago. I'm gonna call the Chicago stores listed on this website and see if they have this compilation when the album comes out.

Oh, now THAT would rock!
-
Seconded. That would make it a 1,001 thank yous from me now.
-
Awesome! Thanks a lot! I cant wait to hear it again. Were you the only taper at the show?
-
I think it would be terrific if i had at least one other person who is in my age group who i could talk about all things Wilco with. I cant find anybody like that out here in the suburbs. Oh well, i guess there is always VC.

My position on the topic of Wilco's popularity is this: In 10-20 years their music will be appreciated much more than it is now. I think they will be this generation's answer to the Velvet Underground, at least in record sales. The VU were a band who during their existence sold very few copies of any of their records, but who are now mentioned as an influence by almost every popular artist/band who followed them. Of course, as a fan, i'd want as many people to hear and realize how great a band Wilco is as possible, but If i were in a band, i'd rather leave a lasting and timeless musical legac

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/13/business.../13carr.html?hp Flying Solo Past the Point of No Return By DAVID CARR Published: April 13, 2007 For a few days, it seemed as if Don Imus would somehow pull out of the death spiral. After all, once he came under fire, Mr. Imus said he was sorry for the racial insult, said he was sorry again and then began a week of penance, raising money on his own show for sick children and turning up at various other microphones to renew his apology. But even as he went through the ritual of public mortification, his backers began to see what he did n

Hey Larry! You were another person i kinda forgot about in the whirl of meeting so many faces. I do remember you asking me about VC . I'm very glad to decided to join the board. Welcome to VC! As for me, i've been posting a lot more often since Friday night, which was one of the great experiences of my life. Hopefully i'll meet everybody again when Wilco comes back home to Chicago! ~Aaron

That flv. thing and the firefox add-on that i previously mentioned are mainly for downloading stuff off of youtube or myspace or things like that, which i thought that some ppl. were asking about doing. that reminds me, i have to download the videos from the Tweedy show at the Vic last Friday which are now uploaded on youtube.
-
Try this one. I'm pretty sure its the same one that i use. Just scroll down the page to the bottom for the free flv. player. http://applian.com/flvplayer/ edit: or maybe its this one....either one should work though. http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html
-
Cool. Let me know how that works. It seemed to work for me just fine. If you have any problems with it, let me know.
-
Yeah, i would suggest downloading the Video Downloader add-on for firefox. You can save it to your computer as an flv. file using that program. There is also a free program that BitComet uses called Flv. converter, which can convert those flv. files into other formats, such as mp4.(for the ipod), wmv. avi, etc. I just found out all this today....pretty timely, i might add. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390 http://www.bitcomet.com/tools/flvconverter/index.htm

This just in from MSNBC: They will no longer carry the Don Imus show: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17999196/

Thats the first time ive ever agreed with Malkin on anything. I still think that Imus should go, but so should every one of those ghetto-trash rappers. It's a shame, the mainstream music industry took what used to be an exciting genre (Rap/Hip-Hop) and totally ruined it via stereotype.
-
It sounded similar to the version from the AGIB demos that is found on the Wilco Book cd (without the other instruments, of course). Jeff said it himself before playing it, that its the only arrangement of this song that he can remember how to play on an acoustic guitar. whoops...YouAreMYface beat me to it!

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/10/cash.home.ap/index.html HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Johnny Cash's longtime lakeside home, a showcase where he wrote much of his famous music and entertained U.S. presidents, music royalty and visiting fans, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday. Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived in the 13,880-square-foot (1,289-square-meter) home from the late 1960s until their deaths in 2003. "So many prominent things and prominent people in American history took place in that house -- everyone from Billy Graham to Bob Dylan went into that house," said singer
