I got a room (on the second floor none the less!) full of instruments all of which I can not play well at all! My wife is ok with it... I got a Yamaha PSR Keyboard, Micro Korg, Clarinet, Accordian, Harmonica, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, 2 Acoustics (1 nylon), Castinets !! Anyone want to jam!?

1. Wet socks! 2. Wet Sleeves when I wash my hands too vigirously! 3. Drivers who don't use a turn signal 4. People who have backpacks or large purses at concerts and keep on knocking into me with them/people with umbrellas in NYC don't realize how large they are and almost knock out my eye!! 5. People who don't say thank when you open the door for them or getting acknowledge if you do a driving courtesy 6. Taxes! 7. Ticketmaster Service charges 8. Non self service gas in NJ 9. Valet Parking!! 10. Shopping for electronics/going to car repair places/car shopping salesmen and last but not least.

Saw an interesting link. Some of the items don't look half bad! http://foodnetworkhumor.com/2009/07/mcdonalds-menu-items-from-around-the-world-40-pics/ When I was in Argentina I saw they had McCafe where they sold Eclairs and Cheesecake and in Australia I went to one that served Cappachino and Esspreso!

I wanted wish R.E.M. a happy 30th birthday! 30 years ago today in Athens, GA R.E.M. played their first gig at a friends party! R.E.M. has been my favorite band since 1989. A lot has changed since then but they still play a very important role in my appreciation for music and are still my all time favorite band! Some old pics...yay http://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=1145

Usually I slag off on Wilco and bitch about their setlist of recent but I must hand it to them this time. They really outdid themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed both shows and there was a great amount of variety....after about seeing them 15 times I heard for the first time: Box Full of Letters (First time hearing live since 97!) Outta Site, Outta Mind Dreamer in My Dreams (First time for me since 97!) Nothingsever (Fullband) Summerteeth (Fullband) I'll Fight More Like The Moon Thank You Friends Broken Arrow In The Street Thank you Wilco...you have my appologies! PS I usually HATE Spiders b

Sections are very much inforced. You have a balcony it will be impossible to get down to the floor. They give you a wristband and rip your ticket if you have floor seats. If you get there at 745 you will be in the middle/back. Show started promptly at 815!

They got on at 815 and off at 1120..show was 3 hours and 5 minutes! Is this the longest show in Wilco's history???

Tons of residential, free street parking a few blocks away from the theater!

I would suggest South Park for drinks out of the few I have been too in Montclair...it is only 3 blocks from the venue it is at 30 S Park St... Any meet ups planned? Anyone???

Scout out the venue before....see where the bus is parked and find the door closest from the venue to the bus...that is where odds are they would be leaving from. I have had good fortune meeting the band both before and after the show. I actually ran into Nels, Mikael, Pat and John in the town of the concert by accident before! Usually after the show you will see a bunch of others waiting..just hang back and if the band is in the mood they will stop and talk. Usually someone else will get the ball rolling and you can just slide in after. The band are pretty friendly and I find it very easy to

The link says Phantom Power Debuted at #17, Hey Venus #19 and Love Kraft at #38! Albums that is but still!

They did pretty well.... look! I would necessarily say that..they are on the cusp! http://www.billboard.com/artist/super-furry-animals/chart-history/154860#/artist/super-furry-animals/chart-history/154860

My Second Cousin is an illusionist who designs illusions for tours and worked with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Usher and a few others...I don't know if that means I am 1 degree from the Jackson's but if that is the case that is freaky!

The ironic thing is the last album he released in the USA in 2003 "Invincible" Sold a dismal 2 million copies....Can't recoup $250 Mil that way.

You should do it...that would be a fun cultural expierence. I always have been tempted to see big artist in the unpopular concert towns. one of my favorites Medeski, martin and Wood just played Serbia and Tiblisi, Georgia...I would love to see how the crowd would react to the band. My favorite though was reading up on the White Stripes when they played in Canada at Iqaluit at the eskimo village in a town 1000 miles north of Quebec in a town of 500 people..I would have paid a ton to see that show as it would have been an unforgettable expierence. I actually looked into it at the time but airfar

Ha that is funny..in Outbacks defense there are a "few" vegitarian options on the menu...but you can always regift, sell them on ebay or tell your aunt about your eating habbits!

It wasn't... I googled my number typed in wheel of fortune spin ids and my number and it said the date and the prize in the results!

I signed up for the Wheel Watchers Spin Id after I attended a taping of the show back in 2008. I watch Wheel of Fortune maybe once every other month. Anyway I got an email from Wheel of Fortune Wheel Watchers yesterday with a newsletter of some sorts and my id was at the top. I decided to see if my number ever got called so I entered it in..Lo and behold back in July 2008 probably 2 month after I signed up my number was picked for an all expenses paid trip to Maui! You have only 24 hours to claim your prize after your number was called. I guess the fact that I don't watch the show I shouldn't

I did my mortgage through PNC bank...about 2 or 3 months later they sold my mortgage to Wells Fargo....Wells Fargo is decent as they let me refinance 1 time at no extra cost.

Ahh glad he is recovering...looks like we will have to wait a bit longer but I feel it will be worth it! Thanks for the link!

I know this album was supposed to come out in 2009. I know they delayed it because of Adam's surgery etc. Any updates on Adam and the albums status? I haven't seen any news on it in months...

The Wellmont as a venue is less than 2 years old...Besides that in Montlcair there is only Outpost in the Burbs and Cafe Ecclectic which I very highly doubt Wilco played at! So this would be their first Montclair show.

Good question! Looking forward to the release though..just got their first album on vinyl for $10 the other day..it sounds niiiiice!

Ha! Yea! I like B &S lots..just actually bought Sinister on Vinyl! Hope they come over to NYC for a couple of shows...I am a big fan of their live shows as they mix up the setlist lots! I even met the band at the album signing for Life Persuit in NYC back in 2006... Since you didn't do a top 20 I will 1. If Your Feeling Sinister 2. Mayfly 3. Your Just a Baby 4. Ease Your Feet Into the Sea 5. Summer Wasting 6. The State I'm In 7. Dog On Wheels 8. There's Too Much Love 9. Piazza, New York Catcher 10. Nice Day for a Sulk 11. Fox in the Snow 12. I Could Be Dreaming 13. Storytelling 14.
