I think Pujols is on roids.

You son of a bitch.

It's definitely Garth, he's wearing the same red hat as in that loft photo and is sitting with the Chromatix on this one:

Good catch, Dude. I'm still going to ride my bike to the loft. You know, just to check it out. Maybe eat some yams with Tweedles.

If I was a liberal would I watch Fox to hear my point of view. If I was a Cubs fan would I go to Cardinals blogs to enjoy myself. The answer is only if I wanted to stir it up and be a contrarian.

What? How are these things at all similar? To draw fair comparisons, the Fox news viewer would have to be a long-time Fox News fan, angry at neo-cons and instead preferring, say, Reagen. And the Cardinals comparison is way off. Wilco is not my rival because I didn't like Sky Blue Sky. But maybe I prefer the 1982 World Series team to the 2006 World Series team. Where is a more proper place to discuss that?

It really doesn't look like Garth's face. Everything in the pic aside from the face says Garth.

Maybe carlos would be good enough to ask Jeff for us.

That's why I said Scott Spillane. Those eyes look more like his than Garth's. But that guy in the picture isn't rotund enough to be Scott Spillane. I'm going to ride my bike over to the loft and figure this out.

Because of the x-ray.

I am still confused.

actually it's quite common with certain CD extracting tools and/or poor CD rom drives to introduce digital chatter (which often sounds like static or skipping).

 

in this case it sounds like it's on the original source to me, so we'll see

He is talking about when he unzips the file. Extracting from rar. It can't happen then, can it?

Well put. Look, if we want to broaden this, the 'rock' records that get remembered are the groundbreaking ones. The ones that critics salivate over are the ones that try something different. You can write/record all the lovely songs that you want but they won't be noticed in the same way, especially on boards like this where every last note is dissected. The YHF lovers will not love this (very fine) record as much for that very reason. This record will, I suspect, draw in a broader audience, and with that the YHF lovers will run for the hills. Sad, but true. We all defend our favourite bands, but come on, who hasn't felt that feeling of 'betrayal' when your best friend's aunt says they like the new Wilco record. Kind of cheapens it doesn't it and makes you want to like it less, to move on to something more challenging. You can't have it both ways. Radiohead remain at the top of their game because they'll never risk stepping out into the mainstream, compromising what they/their fans wanr them to be. For Tweedy, family man, demons behind him, it's a career now and some old fans will be shed along the way. Mixed opnion therefore is inevitable/unavoidable.

Radiohead isn't mainstream?

I don't mind either way.. I personally like that vinyl effect.. however, I'm just trying to figure out if my mp3 files have faulty sounds that others don't, and I f the rar extractor I used may have been a factor

I'm not a technical wizard, but I don't think the extractor/unzipper is going to add static to your files. We all have it - those of us that have mp3s - so it's either an error from when the source ripped it or it's intentional.

Edited for clarity.

Scott Spillane-ish?

Jesus Christ.

Pregnant?

They always check you for that when you hurt your ankle.

Also note that the East actually won the head-to-head conference matchups this season, so the East isn't as weak as its perceived.

Who won when the Lakers played Cleveland? That would make that little stat of yours irrelevant, no?

The Lakers will beat Cleveland. I'm more worried about Denver.

Yeah, they did. So that makes it thinner, but it was also like 70 pages.

It sounds like someone had the place staked out. That is a lot of cash to be carrying.

He was probably wearing a suit made out of a bunch of 100s sewn together. He's in Pearl Jam, man!

IMO Paste killed itself with Lackluster writing, asinine reviews, and decreasing quality of artistic management (layout, photos, etc.). Those are the reasons I canceled my subscription to this once great mag, and why I don't want to support them now.

This is the truth. Every month, for awhile, they were changing the format. And that whole "we're not going to post scores for reviews anymore" wasn't a good idea. Especially when it forced you to read the piss-poor writing in the review. Most of the time, when I'd actually bother to read something, I'd end up having no idea whether or not they actually liked the record. And the art/design/layout just kept getting worse. Stuff was all over the pages, making it hard to read without getting distracted.

Also, the last issue is like half the size it used to be when I actually read it. I noticed that at the store the other day. What happened?

It does seem like some bands have been having better luck keeping things under wraps until a week or two before the album comes out. Not sure about this one. Once promos roll out there, it's out there. I doubt Jeff Tweedy cares like, say, Lars Ulrich, but I think it would be a bit annoying. Except, anymore, it almost serves as viral marketing if you've actually created something worth hearing.

Jeff Ament Assaulted, Robbed

P'Fork:

According to a police report obtained by Rolling Stone, thieves attacked and robbed Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament outside an Atlanta recording studio recently. The band had been working on a new album with producer Brendan O'Brien at the studio, Southern Tracks.

Rolling Stone reports that on the afternoon of April 27, Ament and a "band employee" were pulling up outside the studio when three masked men emerged from the nearby woods and threatened them with knives. They broke the windows of Ament's Jeep and demanded money, making off with $3,000 in cash and $4,320 worth of goods. They also knocked Ament to the ground and assaulted him, giving him a head laceration that emergency medical technicians had to treat. Even though security cameras caught everything on tape, no arrests have been made yet.

In totally and completely unrelated Pearl Jam news, guitarist Mike McCready will perform the national anthem at the Seattle Mariners game on Tuesday, May 19. It's part of CCFA (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America) Night at Safeco Field, which will raise awareness and funds to help fight the bowel disease.

Thanks to these pics I now know where the loft is. Going to ride my bike over there tomorrow. Just check it out.

It's not much to look at. And, for the rest of you, I think the addresses have now been scrubbed.

Sonny Feeling reminds me a lot of Walken, which for me isn't a good thing.

Word.

I think it's wake with a start. Thanks for writing those up!

Also, I heard "gold" rather than "goal." I'll have to listen again to see, but I was pretty sure? I'm half deaf, so who the hell knows what kind of source I am.

I think I am the only one that thinks Sunny Feeling is lametastic. I'm a little insulted by the Summerteeth comparisons.

this will def get better reviews than the last 2 did by far... i'd say that the finicky Pitchfork will give it a 7.4

I'll go high-end: 8.2

Kyle do remember that crazy day when AGIB leaked, and we were all scrambling to get each track by track???!!! It was mid-morning and none of us got anything done that day. I didnt even got to work til the afternoon!

I remember walking up to your house or driving up there and scoring a burnt copy from you. Pirate! I went back to 1118 and listened until the wee hours.

Wow.

That is what I say when they play up to their potential. That is also what I have been saying lately, but for all the wrong reasons.

a far as the pre-requisite goofy rocker from the last 3 records (Wheel, Kicking TV (realize it was a b-side, but still), & Hate It Here), Wilco (The Song) trumps them all.

 

that song matured very nicely from the Colbert version

I think it helps that they lead off with it. Still probably my least favorite song on the album, but it's not a skip-over like HMD or those other songs you mentioned.
