He also had separate stints as a member of both Beth Orton and Sam Beam's touring bands.

that's what i heard from several people on the way out as well. but maybe it was just all the pandering crowd-pleasers!

yeah, it's a pretty interesting take (almost a duet with one of his backup singers). video here

I suppose I could probably just have posted this in the thread in Someone Else's Song, but I feel more comfortable here in After The Show. Haha. So anyway, I just wanted to say that I went to this show last night (the second night of a two-night stand at the MSG Theater; there is also another two-night stand next weekend at the Beacon Theater) and was pleasantly surprised. It was my first time seeing Van Morrison, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd heard about his, ahem, stage manner over the years. Last night he only spoke to the audience once, I think, when he was having some guitar pro

And they have nothing to do with the book.

It should be said that opening for Pronto at the Mercury Lounge show on 3/19 is Puss 'n' Boots (a/k/a Norah Jones, Catherine Popper and Sasha Dobson). Probably a good chance they'll do "Jesus, etc.," I would think. Should be a fun night! Unfortunately I think that show is sold out. But definitely check out Pronto at Maxwell's, and elsewhere!

Anybody want this ticket? Anybody, anybody? Give me 15 bucks, 10 even, and it's yours. Front-row seat.

So did anyone else order this? I just got my copy the other day. Haven't had much time to do anything except flip through it so far, but it kind of seems like Mr. Luerssen did a LexisNexis search for Wilco stuff and then weeded through, picked out and compiled some of the more interesting (and occasionally not-so-interesting) pieces. I say this because I saw at least a couple of articles by Greg Kot that listed him as writing for the Bergen Record. A lot of time this is what happens with Lexis searches when one paper picks up something from another paper and lists the writer as being part

Oh, don't worry. I didn't have any hopes. I was just poking a little fun.

Not to hijack this thread, but... Froggie, man, you put me to shame. I joined here, what, six months before you did (well, let's not even get into the previous board before the crash) and you have more than seven times as many posts as I do. I defer to you, oh hallowed VC veteran!

Does that mean Beck said that? Or you're named Beck? Or Beck's gonna be there!? (In which case, OMG!) (Sorry, don't mean to rain on your excitement. I'm trying to get to 1,000 posts... )

make sure to feed the meter. and don't bump the car in front of you.

Don't sell yourself short...that was an awesome review! In some ways, it sounds kind of similar in tone to the Sunken Treasure film, which makes sense since it was the same director/crew/etc. But I mean in the sense of giving you a feel for what it's like being out on the road in a different town every night--basically what you said. How long did the whole thing run? Interesting that they decided to finish up with the 9:30 show because obviously that was the first show they filmed. Actually the whole thing is backwards, chronologically. I'm sure there's a good reason for that, but it's an in

I managed to get in an order for Summerteeth and Being There this morning before they got taken down. They must have been removing as I was placing the order because when I went back to add A.M., it was gone. I already own the everything on vinyl, so I don't really care one way or the other. More than anything, I'm just curious about what will happen with my order -- if it gets cancelled or just delayed or whatever. Currently they're just listed as being "backordered." Haven't gotten any sort of notice that what I ordered is no longer available...if it ever was.

i would imagine they are going to play some shows this summer, yes. i mean, they do have a new record coming out.

It seems that all of the Wilco titles have been taken down from the Music Direct site now. Or at least I can't seem to find them.

Long shot, but I've got a spare ticket -- it's a terrific seat, trust me -- for Saturday's (2/28) Bang on a Can All-Stars show with special guest Glenn Kotche. The show is at the Kimmel Center (Perelman Theater) in Philadelphia at 7:30 p.m. I paid $37.50, including fees/service charges, but I'll take $30. Or make me an offer. Send me a PM if interested and I'll give you the exact seat location. You can find more information about the program here.

Can't say for sure, but it's probably one of their techs.

The show they did with Jay Reatard at the Bottom Lounge after Pitchfork Fest last year was kind of insane. I got a ticket to see them at Maxwell's this time around, which should be a good place to see them! Would also like to catch the BBQ Show sometime. Had a chance a few months ago, but didn't make it.

I might humbly recommend No Other Love, his 2002 release on New West. I think that was the first Prophet solo record I picked up (after seeing him open for someone...maybe Old 97's?) and I really dug it. "Summertime Thing" from that disc is a great song. He also put out some sort of tribute to Waylon Jennings fairly recently that I picked up but haven't had a chance to listen to yet...

I know Jeff has said in interviews that he has sort of kept tabs on A Hawk and a Hacksaw because of Jeremy Barnes and his connection with Neutral Milk Hotel, so it's not a huge surprise to see them slotted as the support act for this tour. I can't say I'm extremely familiar with their music and I bet a lot of people will be like, WTF, but I'm interested to see/hear them.

Remember there was a time when you'd have to wait weeks, if not months to get a recording of a show? And you'd have to trade or B&P with someone and

Froggie (and anybody else fortunate enough to be in Melbourne), you should definitely check out one of those shows with Nels Cline/Tim Berne/Jim Black trio. That's a great band that doesn't get to play together often, if ever. Berne and Black are both New York-based, and I especially dig Black's percussion. Something to see, for sure.

Yeah, forgot that one. I was there, too. Oops.
