I think it's more like guest stars diminish the weight of an album, regardless of their gender. I don't know if I believe that, but I could see how someone might. Someone might think they were weak on material (and it seems they were), so they called in a ringer for help. I think the reality is that they were friendly with her and wanted to try something new. As it turned out, it's little more than fluff on an album with too much fluff, by the standards set by Wilco's back catalog.

I can see how this might be perceived to be the case. I've only seen him once, but I've never seen any band play as many songs as he did that night. And I had to leave before the show was over. I didn't count, but he must've played 40+ songs before I left.

Phases and Stages It's a concept album in which he tells the tale of a romantic breakup from both the man and woman's perspective.

I wonder if he donated his hair to Locks of Love, or something. Surely those braids didn't just wind up on the floor of a hair salon.

Willie Nelson has cut off his trademark braided pigtails. And check out the photo...how often do you get to see Willie playing a strat? http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978261216

That hadn't occurred to me. Were they using plastic crates when the bottles were glass?

I like the version on the album, and I think it works well in that context, but having seen the video from Craig Ferguson I can see why so many people don't care for the song. Cool drumming aside, there isn't much there. It doesn't help that I'm not all that into Nels on lapsteel. For my tastes Wilco overuses him in that role.

Interesting. How much time passed between their appearances? Was it back to back nights?

I just saw that. I noticed that Nels' Jazzmaster and Jeff's SG were on stage. Do bands play extra songs on his show that don't get aired? Or does Craig Ferguson give bands more than one song?

I noticed this, too. The milk crates at the restaurant where I used to work (in the '90s)were slightly too small to fit records. You could put records in there, but it would bend them and crease the covers. I can imagine theft of the milk crates by record lovers created a fairly significant loss for the milk industry. Maybe the milk industry decreased the size of milk jugs, allowing them to make the milk crates slightly smaller. Naturally, this, in turn, led to the creation of a new product line of fake milk crates available from Target and Wal Mart. Win-win-lose.

Milk crates are pretty good for storage of LPs, but liquor boxes are better for moving them. Liquor boxes are usually pretty heavy duty, and some of them are tall enough that you can tape the top flap closed. And they're free at most liquor stores. I've moved my records many times this way and they've never sufferend any damage.

Despite his IQ and Autism, he knows that Xs for eyes means you're dead. He also did a good job expressing the anger of the shooter just by drawing a V shape over the eyes.

I was only able to play 2 through 10. Someone want to PM me what #1 was?

5/10 I got #s 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 correct. Would've got #3, but that fill has been used in many, many songs and I'm not certain which one is the version they used.

Deeper Down, to my ears, is easily and clearly one of the best songs on the album. Top three, without a doubt.

I wouldn't try to attempt the conversion (like you, I'd rather just buy a Dano...they look cooler anyway), but I'd think you could just get a top loading bridge/saddle and a 12 string neck, nut & tuner set and you'd be in business. Some widening of the neck slot would probably be required, which may or may not cause problems. Fairly small project in terms of labor.

It could have been a lot worse. For instance, the mom could've yelled "don't drop the soap" to her son when they put him in the police car?
