Sweet Papa Crimbo

I'd give thenod to Scott McCaughey, Feist, Andrew Bird or Brian Henneman before Peter Buck.

Did you guys get a rip? I haven't actively pursued a leak since I got the Rising from an OLD friend.

Nope...

Not hardly. W. was just the face of the organizaiton with minimal financial interest (kind of like Nolan Ryan). Rusty Rose was the money guy in those days.

He over threw it...trying to hard. W. threw a nice strike from the mound. It doens't mean anything, but Bush rose to the occassion.

One of ther better efforts i have seen. Jeff really doesn't like these things...even when the interiewer is really good. His body language screams 'get me out of here'.

All I know is there were a lot of out of control egos in that room...Jeff NOT included.

If he is a member, It would be cool to know who he is. However I imagine that, human nature being what it is, he wants to avoid the stalkers and asshats that make up the great proportion of internet humanity

That last part was a little harsh. It is so obvious that Brian is an acid casualty. I have a cousin who dropped acid one too many times and never quite came back. The expression on Brian's face really looks familiar...

He was just as douchey in the 60's.

Sweet...I hope there's a live record or DVD brewing from that Chicago stand.

Hmmm...a Wilco McCartney collaboration isn't all that unreasonable. McCartney had a pretty nice collaboration with Elvis Costello a while back, and his Fireman project is a pretty good recent collaborative effort with Youth. Why not Sir Paul and the boys?

Really? Holy Crap. That would have been so awesomely awkward and bad that I wish he had done it and flipped off the camera. It's obvious Tweedy was screwing with her. He was almost giving a shout out to Justin.

Foster the People may have been the best part of that segment. Mike Love looked like a douche and Brian Wilson looked like the crazy uncle who had escaped from the attic.

RIP Kid

Undoubtedly. He's basically railing at White Guys with Guitars and English Female Soul singer.

The only thing that would make this more awesome is if he had shaved and dyed his back hair.

Yeah...I kinda lost focus there...

Nickelback. Don't get it.

At any rate, should be fun to watch. But, you have to wonder what Billy Bean is up to. He guts his pitching staff for prospects galore, yet goes all in to sign Cespedes? If he struggles at the plate, then he as sunk $36 million into a project. It will be interesting to see how Cespedes' year plays out.

That's the word...ergo the Willie Mo Pena and Reuben Mateo comparisons. These aren't my observations, just stuff I've read and heard.

Agreed...his hair is abysmal. However, if you are going to wear a hat, don't wear a brown hat with a black suit. Grey maybe, black definitely, but never brown.
