NightOfJoy

I'm starting a Wilco cover band. We're gonna play tunes just from their most majestic, golden era.....2001-2003. In fact, we're gonna cover entire shows note for note from that era ala DSO. Now that I have the model worked out, I need a name for the band......Will and the Tweedy Birds.....nah, too hokey..........c'mon brain, start thinking............Ocliw? Nah, damn dyslexia acting up again......

--> QUOTE(Paul B @ Oct 17 2006, 11:58 AM) Lets not forget that Bobby also wrote "The Other One", one of the best tunes in the GD canon, IMO. I'm gonna see Bobby this Friday at the Riv, I'll pass along everyone's well wishes. The Riviera, Chicago, Friday 10/20/06 Good show, the best I've seen Bobby put on since 2001. He had some energy behind him which I felt was lacking the last few times I saw him. I was paying attention to the drummer a bit. The few moments where the music slowed up was all on the drummers shoulders. He was just plodding along, basically offering a rudimentar

I wish Jeff gave that guy a good, solid donkeypunch. And all those working security............they deserve to never be employed as "security" again.

I concur. Not only a great lyric but a great song.

Not sure........its on a comp album of country greats that I have..........twas just a lame attempt of mine at humor.

Here's mine- "Oh.............If the ocean were whiskey, and I were a duck. I'd dive to the bottom and never come up." Never fails to get me, everytime.

I'm not a gambling man but if I had to bet on whether my home has a spirit in it or not, I'd bet yes. Before moving into my current home 1.5 years ago, I didnt believe in the paranormal at all. But after hearing a series of unexplained noises.........and then having my wife verify that she too has heard thumps, bumps and dragging noises......my opinion has changed. Example-My place is a split level ranch, built in the mid 70s. The living room is underneath the master bedroom. My wife and I are watching the boobtube in the living room, kids are asleep.....we start hearing odd noises coming from

Just so's ya know................Tower Records was purchased over the weekend and is being liquidated. Everything must go. 10% discount on CDs right now. I'm assuming that as stock gets stale, the discount will rise. I picked up a live Taj Mahal disc and the Kinks hillbillys disc at the Wabash store. Plenty of stuff left.

Little Boxes-Pete Seeger

Ya know, I dont think I have any discs from this decade. I think I gotta stop collecting vinyl, boots and field recordings and get with the times.

No 80s list would be complete with such great bands as the Thompson Twins, Haircut 100 and Bananarama. Ok, I'm just kidding. No, really, I am. Hold on, I just thought of one.......the debut album by The Sugarcubes....that one was pretty interesting if you can ignore the male singer....Bjork is pretty damn weird though, which is good.

I always associated Don Henley with what was wrong with America....you know, the crappy pop music and all. I may be wrong though.

If you like music, go to Austin. Do NOT delay.

Jeff, Sue and kids- Sorry for your loss. In tough moments like this, it's best to fall into the arms of those that love you the most for support and guidance. Give your kids a big hug, I know they need it too.

I forgot about that one. My girlfriend (now wife) and I read that book out loud to each other as we rambled about the West one fine summer years ago.

"Confederacy of Dunces"-gol'durn funniest book I've ever read. "Pearls Before Swine or God Bless You Mr. Rosewater" "Sirens of Titan" "Sometimes a Great Notion" I finished "Desert Solitaire" by Edward Abbey recently. I'm sure I'll be reading that one again in a few years.

I know someone who claims that EVERYTHING was better in the 70s. Sorta hard to argue with that mentality but it doesnt stop me from trying.

I thought it was a 3 way tie between REM, Neil Young and Nirvana...........but I'm not gonna argue......Bryan Adams it is!!

Dang! I could have written that too. Are you sure you're not me?

Wow............I could have written that......good times, eh?

I always like Bleach more than Nevermind. Pearl Jam? Never bought into 'em. And, in general, I liked Mudhoney more than Nirvana. "Touch me I'm sick"--ah, good stuff. The grunge era of 89-94 was a great time of my life. I was slackin' with the best of 'em-definitely doing my best to avoid a tie and any sort of responsibility......I recall Nevermind as breathing a breath of fresh air and energy to a very wornout rock scene. I saw most of the principle players in the grunge movement except Nirvana (who opened for Eleventh Dream Day-i was late to that show because I stopped at a party before
