Cardinology is growing on me now that on my third spin. It has not been immediately accessible, for which I'm happy. I can tell the songs will take a while to sink in, and I'm happy to give it the time and attention it deserves. I especially love the production. That being said, Magick has become a quick skip to the next track.

> I think he was pissed at Robbie for going Hollywood and breaking up the band, and that bled over into all his memories of their relationship. That's an interesting perspective.

>No, they're just catching up. Moore's been in since 2000 (the first year for the sidemen category). Didn't know that. Makes sense. Thanks.

>Elvis Presley bassist Bill Black and drummer D.J. Fontana in the sideman category. They're excluding Scotty Moore?

>my thinking is "Meh, I'll just hang out and wait for Bobby or Phil to come around with their bands." That's my thinking, though really just for Phil. At this point, a Phil show (and probably the scene) is more interesting than a Dead show.

>Albert Hoffman I'll second that.

>I saw Uncle Tupelo at the TLA in Philly on the Anodyne tour and it was definitely an all-time top-10 show for me. That's huge. Well done.

>True, though. I've said it before but I've seen him do solo acoustic (with Matt Abts), followed by the gig proper with P & F. And, he played in the parking lot for about 40 min. before the solo/duet stuff. I bet he played "Soulshine" with all three bands that day?

>whereas Dylan's Watchtower has this reservoir of romanticism and mystery due to its sparseness. Nicely said.

Harvest Moon is one of my favorite of all Neil albums. The title track and "From Hank to Hendrix" rank up there with anything he's ever written.

>Has Neil invited Jeff out to collaborate on any tunes this tour? I'm thinking "Walk On?" I haven't heard about any collaborations at all on the tour, which is a shame, but not unexpected. Nels would blend in quite well with Neil's band. I wonder if Neil is even in the building during Wilco's set. I'd like to know how Everest was chosen to open. Neil's management must have some input.

Yes, there were quite a few empty seats, so it's worthwhile to take a shot tonight. Everest was very impressive. I knew nothing about them before the show and now am a believer. They could turn on a dime from slightly spacey, noisy jams back to the song. And all with three- and four-part harmonies. I'm going to have to keep an eye on these guys. I highly recommend catching them. Plus, the place is about 10% full when they take the stage, so you can sit just about next to the stage. It was about 2/3 full when Wilco started, so you could still pick your seat. I agree that they were re

>I saw my first Wilco show there many moons ago. Had to be dragged there by a friend. That's a huge feather in your cap. There's something about the TLA. I saw Whiskeytown there on the Strangers Almanac tour.

I've always dug these lyrics: Switching it over to AM Searching for a truer sound Can't recall the call letters Steel guitar and settle down Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana It sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven

An RA article in the Sunday Star Times: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sundaystartimes/4783601a6621.html Here's part: "Well, I've always put out a lot of records because for me they're just a starting point, then those songs grow over the years as we play live," he says. "The songs on the records are just the first chapters in a book that's still being written, and you know, a creative person has to do their thing without taking too much notice of critics. If I listened to music critics, I'd be making sad country records all my life, but sometimes this band wants to sound like The Stones or Gratef

>Quote from the Rochester newspaper review: "Instead, as an encore, Wilco played tribute to its current employer with a version of Young's "Roll Another Number" >Is this true or just some lousy reporter's confusion w/ Passenger Side??? That's a bad job, but Passenger Side does sound like an outtake from Tonight's the Night.

>New Road Trips! (Sep. 1990 - MSG) That's going to be huge. That was a mammoth run, with the band working Bruce Hornsby (and unfortunately Vince Welnick) into the fold. I was at 5 of the 6 shows and had tapes of all from a friend who taped them, but it will be nice to hear these in crisp quality. 9/20/90 is an all-time great.

>i like to remember pia zadora in "hairspray" telling the kids that when she smokes reefer, she is odetta! I like to remember Pia Zadora in Butterfly.

>I saw DBT recently for the first time and it was just ok. Seem like they would be alright on CD but a little boring for a live show. I completely agree. The first song was good, but they lost me by the second and it never recovered. The drummer played the same beat for the entire show.
