ditto, just sounds cooler that way. a lot of words sound better mispronounced.

haha, i was doing the same thing last night. tickets to NYC from NC are only $135 (tax included) which is much cheaper than the usual $215 price tag. however, the only seats available at MSG are the nose bleeds... this is such a painful decision.

i didn't go. my boss went and he'll be back tomorrow so i'll get an earful then, can't wait. for months, i told myself i'd go if i knew they'd play He's Gone but i figured the chances for them playing that were slim to none, lol.

(set 1) The Music Never Stopped> Jack Straw Estimated Prophet> He's Gone> Touch Of Grey> I Need A Miracle> Truckin' (set 2) Shakedown Street> All Along The Watchtower> Caution> Rhythm Devils> Space> Cosmic Charlie> New Potato Caboose> Help On The Way> Slipknot!> Franklin's Tower (encore) Samson And Delilah anyone here go?

anyone read Batman RIP? wondering if its worth picking up. the hardcover has been released and i was tempted to buy it but have a full plate now. just finished 52 and Black Adam: New Dawn (awesome) and am currently wrapped up in the New Krypton/ World of Krypton Superman series as well as the new JSA series. they're on hold until UPS delivers them on Monday, so this weekend i'm all about the JLA/ JSA Lightning Saga which is crazy good!

i forgot all about the Hartford 77 show and just rushed out to go and get it about an hour ago. i needed some good saturday night jams. second song into the set and its sounding real nice. so far, Donna's backing vocals aren't bothering me. $70 for the Winterland set makes it so tempting to buy. i can't foresee the price staying that low for more than a week. now i need to convince myself to go ahead and order it...

i was 9 at the time so i have choppy memories of this. i was introduced to Nirvana via MTV, loved the song Lithium, and can recall MTV playing the Unplugged show on repeat after Cobain's death. it wasn't until 6-7 years later that i became a big fan.

im prolly gonna get knocked down for this but i kinda enjoy Kenny Chesney. some friends dragged me to one of his shows back in '05, i think, and the guy has some catchy numbers. that song, Anything But Mine, melts my heart every time i hear it. i think his live shows and the whole image surrounding him are a tad absurd. also, Garth Brooks and George Strait are 2 "newer" acts i rarely tire of.

indeed. that record hit me soo hard when it was released. i could relate to every song on it. i don't listen to it much anymore because of that. it feels like im opening up a time capsule when i put it on. in fact, most of his songs are like that for me. i think that's where the Dylan references stem from. Conor's got that ability to make a tune so ambiguous yet personal, its just amazing. damn, now i have to listen to it.

looks like they'll be giving out the doc for free in hopes that the people who grab it will donate to a charity. that's a cool thing to do especially with the economy like it is.

You Will? is prolly one of my top 5 favorite songs of his. i also dig A Lover I Don't Have to Love and Waste of Paint. other than that, don't really listen to this album all that much.

yes, it is! this song features some great one-liners, "dreams never did work for me anyway, even when they did come true," and "everybody got all the flowers, I don't have one single rose," and, of course, the Joyce line. the guitar towards the end of the song, and the melody in general, remind me a lot of Sky Blue Sky (the record, not the song.) I've already ripped this tune to my PC and have listened to it like 6 times already!

here's some fuel for the fire...

it was prolly Obama incognito.

in the 1.2 seconds it took for this thread to load, these thoughts crossed my mind: 1. omg 2. this will def. make Wilco look bad 3. who will replace him? great joke tho!

Krypton is so much cooler. their sun is red.

looks like a new interview with Jeff Tweedy AND Neil Young has just been posted.

im a bit late but this looks soooo awesome!

wow, look at all those tapes in the background!

whoa, this is crazy! its like something off of the Twilight Zone. I swear, I have dreams about this type of stuff. imagine if they have a recording of Cash at the Opry when he kicked out the stage lights while loaded. or some old Hank Williams Sr. gigs... I know what I'll be dreaming about again tonight.

check it out, the "last" Cardinals gig is up on archive.org. The Cardinals- Fox Theatre Atlanta, GA 3/20/2009

judging by some of those song lyrics, this album isn't gonna be as "romantic" as I had thought. now I'm even more excited to hear it!

voted. please invite me over if you guys win.

awesome. thanks for posting that link.

I'm in! tho I did download 'One Wing' and 'Sunny Feeling' back when Wilco first started playing them. I do listen to 'One Wing' on a regular basis, from the show I attended, but I can't remember how 'Sunny Feeling' even sounds...its been so long. oh yeah, I also caught that Colbert episode but that doesn't count. I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck....we will need it.
