I think you mean 3rd fret. In any event, I've always played it: D to E strings: F A D G --3-- --3-- --2-- --3-- --x-- --x--

He's pretty hard to google. I was hoping there'd at least be an interview from an electronic-geek magazine. I'd like to hear Analogman weigh in on the issue.

This guy seems to be Wilco's house engineer, and with good reason! Does anyone have any info on him? He engineered Sky Blue Sky and Born Again in the USA, as well as the latest Sonic Youth and Malkmus records. I've always listened to Born Again in the USA as a little bit of a companion to Sky Blue Sky, even though it's decidedly more rocking and loose (no pun intended). I'm starting to realize the similarities I'm hearing might be the TJ magic. He gets such a clean guitar signal. Really nice and crisp sounding. I even hear it on the Sonic Youth. Not that Jeff and the boys aren't gen

They still release Greg Ginn related albums.

This is sweet news! Let it Be and Tim are in serious need of a remaster. The 80s, man. Fingers crossed for the Huskers to be next.

I don't know if Bob's ever made a bad album. But Body of Song made no impression on me whatsoever. Same with the new one. It was all downhill when he started going to the gym.

Great record! I'll go down as saying it's better than Plastic Ono Band and All Things Must Pass. I said it!

Maker is on the mark. The last album I loved was Last Dog and Pony Show. I wish Bob would drop the vocoder.

Obviously, they're fans of the guitar solo.

That's a great record!

The Magnet article from the way back machine (YHF, Jeff's a janitor in the photo spread) mentions it was a way to pass the time on the tour bus. I'm pretty sure it's only crept into a couple of songs. She's a Jar possibly.

From Yo La Tengo's myspace:

I saw the Freewheeling tour in Bloomington, IN and that was exactly my take on it. For my 7th YLT concert, it was really cool to see a different setting, but I don't know how it would work for an initiation. Still though, it was sweet when Ira looked at James and told him not only were they were doing a song he had never heard before, but it was a Chesterfield Kings song written by Dee Dee Ramone, recorded for Fakebook, and then abandoned (!!!!!). James said "you had me at hello," and they launced into it. They also told a really cool story about psychedelifying the Simpsons theme song and

Jeff's Flying Burrito Brothers suit was amazing! Hopefully some pictures will surface.

I love those clips! Someone Else's Song from that show really cooks!

Notorious Byrd Brothers: Side 1

Five of those records changed my life!

With Kicking TV so heavy on the AGiB material, I think another live record would be warrented after the next studio record or so.

Tough call. When pressed, I have to say Being There, but I really tend to favor any of the even numbered studio albums.

I agree! One of the best bands out there right now.

Second. That's a total Plastic Ono Band homage.

This would fulfill my wish that Wilco pull a Neil Young and release at minimum one live document to accompany each studio album.

I was going to make the same point about the feedback. Granted he wasn't the first to use it. But compare the accidental feedback 2 years earlier on the Beatles I Feel Fine to the Are You Experienced album and tell me he wasn't doing something different with it. Even Velvet Underground albums, the feedback is microphonic, and annoyingly screechy. Hendrix is the earliest, at least in my musical consciousness, to purposefully manipulate it into something pleasant sounding. Or at least cooler sounding than a high school PA going apesh1t.

Speaking as someone who has grown to appreciate Hendrix over time, I have to say there's a lot more to Hendrix's playing than just blues. Sure, you've got Red House and Voodoo Chile, pretty much straight blues, and IMO not high points in Jimi's catalog. My favorite stuff of his is very non blues. 3rd Stone From the Sun - instrumental pre-fusion. Are You Experienced? - eastern-tinged psych. Manic Depression - 3/4 time, classic "heavy trio" sound. Good stuff all around. I think there's a bit of a Hendrix backlash because every 13 year old beginner guitar player, or burnout stoner dude ha
