Interesting. Electric Prunes might be pretty good as long as they don't play that annoying "aye means yes to a sailor" song.

I'm sorry to say this happened in my home county. This studio is right off of Interstate 85, making for a quick getaway. I predict there will be a couple of similar incidents in the coming weeks, and then the cops will make some arrests. That's how things go in Atlanta. Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured or killed.

There are multiple inaccuracies in that post.

Those were the first ones I looked at. I'm sure they'd sound great but yeah, they're expensive. More than I payed for the guitar. I'm tempted to put P90s in there, but then I'd lose the coil-tap. I'm not as set on getting a Les Paul type of sound as I was at first.

NRBQ cd, King Crimson book. Sort of like my living room.

Joe Cocker Bowie Mama Cass

So this is a new album? Awesone. The annoying DJ on XMU yesterday said this was probably going to be a compilation of rare tracks. I'm glad she was wrong.

For you...

Gastr Del Sol cd. Hopefully they'll do one of these that shows their guitars. This photo only shows a bunch of headstocks peaking from behind the shelf with the tape reels. Maybe Nels wouldn't need to ice his neck down after every show if Tweedy would buy him a sleep number bed for the loft instead of making him sleep in a cub scout bunk bed.

Two are Silvertones (Danelectros rebranded as Silvertone and sold in Sears & Roebuck stores), one is a Jerry Jones, which is a higher quality copy of a Danelectro. I'm still trying to figure out what the deal is with that telecaster. http://www.danguitars.com/Silvertone.html

Naturally. That one probably begs for the most comical air band moves of any song in the Wilco catalog.

What's the deal with the weird "Specimen" telecaster/danelectro hybrid? The only cds I could make out where The Band "Across the Great Divide" and Grateful Dead "Workingman's Dead".

Nah, me and Spencer are tight. He played my drums once at Lounge Ax in 1997. He was just a toddler and I haven't seen him since, but still.

I'd like to see a photo of Steve Morse from his airline pilot days. I wonder if he had to cut his hair.

Spencer Tweedy?

You could probably fit four or five Best Buy vinyl sections in there.

After a quick google image search I'm inclined to go along with this.

That's a wheelbug, also called an assassin beetle. Sometimes one of these'll be hanging out by my front door when I get home from work. Supposedly if they bite you it hurts for months. They eat a lot of pests, though, so I welcome them. Post mortem you? I'd be mad too. What tune were they air-banding to?

It's pretty cool that the 10 1/2 year old already has a Wilco hand-me-down shirt lined up. EDIT: And now I know how to make an avatar.

I guess that's to be expected, but to tip the scales a bit, I'll throw out some non-rock (or rock, but not just rock) guitarists that consistently knock me out: Jim Hall Barney Kessell Pat Martino Sonny Sharrock Just about any name Bluegrass player Django Jorma Kaukonen Bert Jansch Bill Frisell Whoever the main guitarist is in Tinariwen Has anyone mentioned Steve Cropper? He should be in the "goes without saying" category. Eddie Hazel, and the rest of the Funkadelic guitarists.

I thought you were the one on the right, and the one on the left was your daughter. On a related note, my wife has been bugging me to get glasses for over a year. Also, I don't know how to make an avatar.

I'm glad people are finally willing to admit that Wincing the Night Away is a weak Shins album. It seemed like there was a gag order, or something, even though it is clearly not even close to as good as their first two.

I guess i just don't think that most church goers feel that what happens in church is truly a spiritual or sacred experience. Maybe that's because I was raised catholic and there are a lot of people who sit in catholic churches every week who are just going through the motions, but self-identify as catholic.

All I'm saying is that church goers (people who typically go to church every week, or most every week, and identify themselves as members of the religious group named on the sign in front of their church, and on the envelope where they place their donation check) allow themselves to skip church once in a while, for any number of reasons. One of those reasons being to go to a concert. Another being to recover from a hangover which was installed before, during and after the concert. Is that wrong?
