Im spending two days in each location..I know it is alot of driving. I am big on hiking but the finance isn't really so we might just do a short hike in Denali. We have a fairly loose schedule and will be going witht he flow! Thanks for the tips!

Paul it seems like you see ever Wilco show in existance?! How do you do it? How do you get the time off and money to do this if you don't mind me asking! Very curious!

I can attest to the fact that Elliott was bored by Radiohead as I met him at a radiohead concert. Well not really...I saw Elliott at the Field Day Concert in NJ in 03...after he was done and later in the night I spotted him with a group of people hanging out watching Radioheads set. Within a few minutes he was passed out or sleeping??? He did wake up towards the encore as I was on my way out. I said a few words to Elliott about liking the new songs...who knew that was the last time I will ever see him PS I was fortunate though as I got to see him 5 times in concert....I also met him one

Thanks for the pointers! I got some rafting in Denali lined up class 4 rapids...excited for that!

Who do they sound like? I guess I will check out some youtube clips. Any must hear songs?

Art Brut are a ton of fun live! It is hard not to smile when they are performing...I am in the other boat..I know Brut but no nothing about Hold Steady...shall I stick around an check them out?

I leave for Alaska on saturday and I can't wait! I will be spending a few days in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali. I plan on visiting the Artic Circle (Life goal of mine ) , Alaska State Fair, Earthquake Park, Pioneer Town, Portage Glacier, rafting in Denali etc. Anyone have an recommendations? Has anyone driven from Anchorage to Fairbanks (How long did that take)? Any other words of wisdom! Thanks!

Cool! Cain't wait for the inevitable shows in NJ!

I met a ton of celebs...some intentionally some unintentionally.... Here it goes...or at least what I can remember ( No order)! Bill Clinton Jimmy Carter Wilco Jay Farrar REM (All but Berry) Radiohead (All but J Greenwood) Billy Joel Tom Petty David Bowie Jerry Seinfeld Chevy Chase Jon Stewart Dave Chappel BB King Guster Matthew Sweet Ben Folds Five The Jayhawks Blues Travler Beck Elliott Smith Chuck D LL Cool J Tony Bennett Mike Meyers Reel Big Fish Everclear Dave Matthews Jackie Mason Marv Albert Trey Parker/Matt Stone Jamie Kennedy Patti Smith Cyndi Lauper Medeski Martin and Wood Pet

Tickets in NC are only $55-125! Not sooo bad! http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0E003F0E...mp;minorcatid=1

I like Day Job and Until I Fall Away

Blur is right behind Wilco in my favorite bands. I own all the albums and the anniversary singles set. I have like 300 songs of theirs on my ipod. I have seen them 2 times in concert...without Graham though! I have also seen Gorillaz twice and Good the Bad. Damon is a top performer. Modern Life is my favorite of theirs! I can't wait to see them live again!

I have enjoyed seeing Gin Blossoms, Toad, Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler live recently THERE I SAID IT! I have seene each of these in the past 3 years and it is fun to go down memory lane. They all still put on a good live show. Toad The Wet Sprocket are too good to lump into the nostalga act as Glen Phillips is a brilliant song writter and still puts out great material. The others are still fun and worth a few bucks for a night of fun out.

Happy bday!

NYC by They Might Be Giants...cheeky love song

Combustication is awesome! My favorite nighttime driving album. Latin Shuffle is ridiculously good! Its a Jungle in Here is a great straight up Jazz album too.

Geez you guys are so on top of things here ! Thanks for the warm wishes as always! I did see squeeze last night and that was fun. Seeing Beasties on Thursday! I will eat some cake in viachicago's honor tonight! Flick I will be moving back to Hoboken in October. I am sure we will cross paths sometime. We are what maybe 2 miles apart...maybe at Maxwells!

Yay Elliott Smith, Blur, Bjork, TMBG, Radiohead, REM sounds like a perfect list to me!

Ah nice! Thanks for the review! Sounds like a blast! I am seeing them tonight and am very excited!

I have seen her in concert and she puts on a great show. I also meet her once and she was very nice and genuine.

Wow...sounds like a great show! I am ready to see the Frames In NYC when they come by!

La Bamba was in State College, PA too!

MMM a ripper....good choice....I like White Manna in Hackensack the best out of the category for greasy food places in my opinion ..heaven on a bun!

There are 2 White Castles I know of in Northern NJ...Jersey City and Rutherford. Where where you? I avoid them though as it reaks havock on my stomach.

I recently got into Squeeze and am excited to see them when the come to NJ on 8/6. Anyone see them recently and what did you think? How long did they play, how did they sound?
