Happy Birthday, Mr. Tweedy!

dcd

The show's GA, and I highly doubt it'll sell out quickly, so no need to worry about a presale.

 

I'm psyched for this - their last show at the Pavillion was the best Wilco show (including the best crowd) I've seen.

So, first come, first serve for seats, eh?

Well, if I hear anything or see anything, I'll be sure to post. Y'all do the same, eh?

dcd

I don't see it on Wilcoworld.net yet, so I wonder if there will be a pre-sale? Do they ever not do a pre-sale?

dcd

Awwwww, shit! AWESOME. Now I don't have to worry about how the eff I'm going to get back to Michigan in the middle of the week for the Fox show. C-ville Pavillion isn't exactly the Fox, but beggars can't be choosers!

Thanks for posting this!

Damn, I may have to figure out how to get a day off in the middle of the week to fly home for this. I've seen a lot of great shows at the Fox, including Neil Young doing solo acoustic 4 or 5 times.

Happy Beastie Birthday, Sir Stu!

It's a sabotage!

I thought I'd give a quick update on the Johnny Cash Radio show. They are up to their 10th show and I've enjoyed every one of them. Also, they are now available as an i-Tunes download.

That is them.

 

Here's a clip of their bass player, saying that you really should go seem them live, and talking about how they hung around after their set at a festival in Belgium to hear Wilco: http://www.cuttingedge.be/videos/18356-the-frames-interview

 

And if I recall correctly, Glen Hansard said that some of the Wilcos were hanging around backstage listening to them at the Sasquatch Festival a couple of years ago. Is that right? Trish, Gina? Do you remember him saying that?

 

Anyway, I think there's some mutual respect there.

In the middle of the version of Pavement Tune from Live at Lollapalooza 2006, Glen sings a line from "Reservations" and then says something about "the Jeff Tweedy, the Disco, the New York City". You can find it on iTunes.

I hope NPR fixes it so you can download the show in the next few weeks. I'm still kicking myself for not going!

You can download it. I did. I posted the link in the other thread.

For serious drunk food, I prefer gyros or a doner kebab ... or in a pinch, something like La Bamba (i.e., Mexican but not Taco Bell).

 

White Castle would only make me more likely to hurl.

What about the hippie hash at the Fleetwood, Cryptique? mmmmm. Hippie Hash when you're loaded at 2 a.m.

I haven't had WC in years, come to think of it....

dcd

Long, long ago we would drive down Gratiot into the Dirty D and get White Castles in the late hours of the night. We were always all kinds of not right to make the trip... I used to like those clam strips...

"Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?: The Carter Family and Their Legacy in American Music" Really good book. The only criticism of it seems to be that there are no foot notes. But it covers the entire family history through to the deaths of Sarah and Mother Maybelle. Good stuff and very readable. It describes in depth how Pleasant (what AP was called by family and friends) went out and found songs to beef up the Carter's repetoire. It also describes how Ralph Peer paid the Carters and made alot of money in the process. The Carters did pretty well when records sold well, but as the Depression deepened they didn't do nearly as well. Even the sections about the later Carter Family members such as Anita and June are really interesting.

Thanks for the book reco, Louie. I'm planning on taking a trip down to the Carter Family Fold for a show sometime.

The PBS American Experience on them was very good, too.

There is a pretty cool DVD set called "The Tomorrow Show - Punk & New Wave" that features Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, the Plasmatics, the Ramones, Patti Smith, Joan Jett, and John Lydon. It shows Wendy O. Williams blowing up a car, too.

dcd

Great movie.....the show at the Old Town School tonight is long since sold out, but I am

 

going to try and cope a ticket if one gives one back to the box office. It should be a hot show.

 

LouieB

Did you make it to the show, LB?

BTW, scroll down to Download MP3/4 and get your own coy of the 9:30 show.

Stream of Swell Season on NPR at the 9:30 Club

What a great show. The songs from the movie were great, but of special delight were a few of the Frames songs like Star, Star and The Pavement Song, as well as the covers of the Pixies, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan.

Does anybody have the power (or inclination) to capture this? Or, do any of you have good recommendations for easy-to-use and preferably free software to get the job done? I would really like to have this on CD.

Thanks,

Adrian Fucking Brody.

Ad-ri-an Ba-ro-dee.

I would, if ticks are available yet. I'm on the 930 mailing list, but must have missed the announcement. I saw this movie this past Saturday in D.C. at the E Street (I think that's where it was- they're showing Labyrinth in August! I think I might have found a substitute for my beloved Michigan Theater back in A2). Anyway, good flick, good tunes, and perfect running time.

 

dcd

Done. Just got me a ticket. Price is right, too.

dcd

Oh, man! I'm glad I saw this. Anyone going to the 9:30 Club show on Thursday?

Congratulations, your dead body is worth $6125!

Not too bad. I guess that hernia surgery and the car/bike collision/mangled leg incident and being a fat ass finally pays off for someone. I didn't account for my kidneys because I didn't think of kidney disease as fitting in to the same category as elephantitis.

Under The Banner Of Heaven was published in 2003. Anyone know what he is working on?

 

Does he still write for Outside?

He probably had to go into hiding from the LDS and the crazy fundamentalists he pissed off, ala Salomon Rushdie.

I think the Inuit are the group of Aboriginal people in Canada's NWT and Nunavut. In their language, Inuktitut, "Inuit" also means "the people

They're so down-to-earth because they're from Michigan.

By the way, I work for an ANC 8(a) (Alaskan Native Corporation with the 8(a) being a small business classification). Anyway, I found out that "Inuit" is the White Man's hack job on the word "Inupiat", which is the language, and "Inupiaq" which are the people.

Also, evidently, calling someone an "Eskimo" is like saying the N-word. You shouldn't call someone that unless you are one.

We used to enjoy Mr. Show with Bob and David for these types of recreational activities.

...that I just found in my office this morning. I'd been looking for it for a few days now. I'm glad I don't have to buy another copy.
