OK... there's eight in a row from this guy. Man oh man i wish the Human Touch/Lucky Town releases didn't get in the way, because then there would be about 13 in a row... not including the live albums etc....

P.S. I didn't see Eli's post...Oh well screw it, I am keeping mine in tact!

fingering for Cdim anyone?

I use ...

Cdim= XX1212

I thought I would share this band/review. This is not totally a shameless plug as the band is friends of mine and I did the CD artwork, none the less, I think Wilco fans would like this

Americana UK 8 of 10 Stars

Scott Silipigni might not be a familiar name and its certainly one that

Haha I'm sorry I promise theses things and then forget about them, but here they are.

 

Majority of the song works off of

A, D, C#m, D

 

and then goes to this

A, Adim? (A, Eb, C), B/D, A

 

And that's it!

Can someone, anyone finish this? Can you include a chord chart for the second part?

I HATE IT HERE

Intro = A D C#m D

A.................D

I try to stay busy

C#m................................D

I do the dishes, I mow the lawn

A...............................Cdim

I try to keep myself occupied

..........Bm..........................................A

Even though I know you're not coming home

I try to keep the house nice and neat

I make my bed I change the sheets

I even learned how to use the washing machine

But keeping things clean doesn't change anything

What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold?

What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow?

What am I gonna do if you never come home?

Tell me, what am I gonna do?

I hate it

I hate it here

When you're gone

I caught myself thinking

I caught myself thinking once again

Have to try to keep my mind out of this

Try not to pretend

I'll check the phone

I'll check the mail

I'll check the phone again and I call your mom

She says you

Anyone find any(Work up on your own) tabs or chords for the new alboom yet?

This is incomplete..

You Are My Face

Intro: D strum...

[D]I remember my mother's sister's husband's brother

[G]Working in the gold mine, full time, filling in for sunshine

[D]Filing in to tight lines, ordinary beehives

[D]The door screams i hate you, hate you

Hanging 'round my blue jeans

[D]Why is there no breeze?

No currency of leaves

No [G]current through the water while

No feelings i can see

I [D]trust no emotion

I believe in locomotion

I've [G]turned to rust, as we've discussed

Though I must have let you down too many times

In the [D]dirt and the dust

GUITAR BREAK= Bm, Fm, Em etc(?)

I have no [bm]idea how this happens

All of my maps have been over[Fm]thrown

Happen[Em]stance has changed my glance

So many times, my heart has [Fm]been outgrown

Now everybody's feeling all alone

Can't tell you who I am

When everybody's feeling all alone

Can't tell you who I am

I am looking forward

Toward the shadows chasing bones

My face is stitched and sewing

Our houses hemmed into homes

Trying to be thankful

Our stories fit into phones

And our voices lift so easily, a gift given accidentally

When we're not sure we're alone

I'd appreciate it Sol!

I transcribed the lyrics. Some questionsable translations.

These Things

? the wind

Kiss the rain

Drink in the sun

To burn away the pain

Wiskey good too

There's just a few

These things we'll do

'Til I find you

These things we'll do

I'm looking still

Sunshine or pills

I'm looking 'til

'Til I find you

These things we'll do

If you need love

Go and get some

I'll understand

It's what young people do

Take what you need

Save yours for me

If a substitute

Will let you through

These things we'll do

I'm looking still

Sunshine or pills

I'm looking still

'Til I find you

These things we'll do

I'm looking still

Sunshine or pills

I'm looking still

Sunshine or pills

I'm looking still

I'm looking still

I have had the solo album since Christmas, but am just getting around to listening. I like it, a lot.

Well, I really like the 1st track, These Things. Wondering if anyone has, or knows where I can find the chords/tab for this song. I am pretty sure it starts Em, but from there, my ability to decipher chords is failing me.

Any help is appreciated.

Is Sandler purposely looking like Dylan in that trailer?

Anyone have access to the most recent soundscan results? Interested in the total units sold for Amos Lee and Ben Kweller albooms.

I can't believe I forgot this one!!!

I don't know if he wrote it, but the version I know, is his! Clarence Carter has a version too, but BB's is unbelievable. Read it all... it is tough not to get a lil choked up!

Patches

B.B. King

I was born and raised down in alabama on a farm way back up in the woods. oh

I was so ragged folks used to call me "patches". papa used to tease me about

It, but deep down inside dad was hurtin' 'cause he'd done the best he could.

My papa was a great old man

I can see him with a shovel in his hand

Education that he never had

But he did wonders when the times got bad

The little money from the crops we raised

Barely paid the bills we made

Oh life whipped him

Down to the ground

When he tried to get up

Life would kick him back down

On the day papa called me

To his dyin' bed

Placed his hand on my shoulders

And in tears he said

Patches

I'm depending on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

Two days later papa passed away

And i became a man that day

Everyday i had to work the fields

'cause that's the only way

We got our meals

See, i was the oldest of the family

And everybody was depending on me

Now the years have passed

And everybody's grown

Mama's been livin'

In a brand new home

Lord knows it took

A lot of sweat and tears

And my daddy's voice

To help us through the years

He said -

Patches

I'm depending on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

Daddy had been sick for a long time, flat on his back. every evenin' after

We'd finish our chores and eat our dinner, we'd all go into papa's room to

Cheer him up a little. and this particular day dad was in good spirits,

Sittin' on the side of the bed, tellin' mama how good she looked. when all

Of a sudden, papa had a pain in his chest. i was too young to understand,

Talkin' about a heart attack here. mama rushed us all out of the room into

The hallway. about ten minutes later she came out with tears in her eyes.

She called out to me, "patches, patches, get in here, boy. your daddy wanna

See you." i went runnin' into papa's room, there papa lay. daddy had tears

In his eyes. i knew something was wrong, daddy was a poor man, but all of my

Life he'd been a proud man. i knelt down on one knee beside the bed, papa

Put his hand on my shoulder. he said, "patches, patches, boy, the hammer of

Life done beat your old papa down to the ground, and i ain't got nobody to

Turn to to take care of mama and the younger. so what i want you to do is

Promise me, son, is that you're gonna do your best to help your mama as much

As you can." i said, "papa, i'm gonna do my best." but little did i know

Then like i know now, that tryin' to climb life's mountains searchin' for a

Top where there ain't no top, sometimes you find yourself frustrated, lazy.

But every time i feel like i can't live my life like i want to, my mind goes

Back to that day when i see those tears in my daddy's eyes. but most of all

I remember his words, "patches, i'm dependin' on you, boy." every time i

Feel like givin' up, i hear his voice. "patches, patches, patches, patches -"

I'm depending on you, son

I've tried to do my best

It's up to you to do the rest

Patches

I'm depending on you, son

I've tried to do my best

It's up to you to do the rest

Patches

I'm depending on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

I don't find it sad AT ALL!

"There's a whisper I would like to breathe into your ear,

but I'm too scared to get that close to you right now"

"In the beginning we closed our eyes

Whenever we kissed you were surprised to find so much inside"

1st and last verses of Pieholden Suite, simply brilliant!

would someone invite me? please IM if you can. Thank you! I'll PM back the correct email addy. Thanks

actually... I was listed/designated as "clever"

I believe I had the port forwading all set. When I first got the warning. I dl'd a couple VERY popular torrents, with lots of seeders. In hopes to be able to rectify or at last improve my ratio. Well... I would DL the torrent it would start say I was seeding, say ther where a lot of seeds, but never actually connect to any seeds and never UL a single bit of data.

I really want to get back on and do it right, so any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

So, my OiNK account got terminated because of my d/u ratio thingy. I just couldn't get the uploading to work. I consider myself a smart man, and one that is fairly computer literate, but I couldn't figure out why I couldn't upload to seeders, or even upload my own torrent. I tried uploading a Ben Kweller boot from the Point in Bryn Mawr PA from 2000... but for some reason it wouldn't work.

Well, so now I don't have Oink... which sucks!!!!

Question 1 - if I were to get a new invite, would I be able to reregister under new user name and pw etc?

Question 2 - anyone wanna invite me so I can try to make right and fix my u/dl issues?

Question 3 - If I get a new account, would anyone wanna walk me through verifying that my UL capabilities are all set?

Thanks

Beautiful song!!!!

The best part and one of my favorite single musical moments ever recorded happens exactly at 1:53 of the song. I have no idea why that transistion is so powerful to me, but it is. GREAT SONG!!

Any thoughts or feedback on Bruce's cover of I Want You?

Done!

I Want You

As sung by Bruce Springsteen on Feb 5, 1975

"The guilty undertaker sighs, the lonesome organ grinder cries

The silver saxophone should say, I should refuse you

Your cracked bells and washed out horns blow into my face with scorn

But it ain't that way, I wasn't born to lose you"

This IS the best cover Bruce has ever done,...and may just be my favorite cover by anyone, ever!

I'll even supply this LINK, so you can hear it!! Courtesy of http://www.backstreets.com/btx/viewtopic.p...2052312#2052312

"If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay"

"If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again"

it means i think his songwriting & lyrics could stand to mature a bit, and that i often am annoyed by the "hop on pop" type of songwriting lyrics, but maybe that's just me...

 

examples that really annoy me:

as i stated before, Lightning Bolt by Radish is still the best thing Ben has ever been involved with imo, and he was what, like 15 then?

Oh I see...

Come on, I know this isn't gonna go over well, because Tweedy is a genius and stuff, but Geezus. Stream of consciousness, none-sense is waaaay better! Sure.

When the devil came

He was not red

He was chrome and he said

Come with me

You must go

So I went

Where everything was clean

So precise and towering

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9

Once in Germany someone said nein

I'm a wheel

I will

Turn on you

it's pretty good, i still think his rhyme schemes are often pretty immature...

What does that mean?

Any other opinions on this? I thought there would be a lot of buzz around this. I think it is great, lyrically and musically. Besides he plays every instrument on the song (album).
