A handful, sure. I was mainly referring to the top of the list - Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, John Mayer, 311, Phil Lesh and Friends, Primus - that isn't my cup of tea.

That was a pretty random article. It was unclear who actually said the quotes about the various "celebrities."

I feel sorry for Of Montreal and a couple of others on that list. Yeesh! Where is this happening? (So I can avoid it.)

Well I didn't stay awake for this. Is there a simple (for us simpletons) way to download this?? Podcast, etc? I can check myself, but just busy today on the road. (The Who fronted by a Japanese school girl was part of a promo...was that the most interesting thing said??)

They have it available for download in 10 parts on that link. It's just Jeff and Jon Langford talking, though. Not the music itself-guess there are rights issues with that. Anyway, my favorite story Jeff told was about meeting John Cale once and how he looked like Richard Simmons. Ha!

I would recommend Hot Dougs! Click on "today's specials".

Seconded. Their specials this week sound amazing, particularly this one: The Kris Larkin (Blue Cheese Pork Sausage with Pear Cr

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that "Entire Recorded Works" will be defined as the stuff that's on the full-length releases -- AM, Being There, Summerteeth, YHF, AGIB, SBS plus Mermaid 1 and 2. In other words, don't get your hopes up for, say, "The T.B. Is Whipping Me" or stuff off of demos, etc.

I would guess that the Mermaid Stuff will probably be limited to the stuff they already do, i.e. California Stars, Hesitating Beauty, Remember the Mountain Bed, Christ For President, Airline to Heaven, One By One, Hoodoo Voodoo and maybe Another Man's Done Gone. I would be mildly surprised (though extremely pleased) if we got Secrets of the Sea, Feed of Man or Blood of the Lamb).

And I would be shocked if they did any songs that are technically non-Wilco songs, like Laminated Cat. FWIW.

Great seeing you last night, Drew. That room is a bit hoity-toity for my taste (and the ushers can be a bit uptight and the tickets pricey), but it's a gorgeous space and the sound is immaculate.

It was a treat to see Joe with guests Brad Mehldau on piano and Don Byron on clarinet (for two songs), not to mention that fabulous rhythm section.

Hope you have a great day!

I usually would not have recorded from so close, but that night I wanted to be in the action (9:30 pit!). I was about 3 people behind you.

Besides the normal whoo-hoo's and random song requests - the crowd was not bad.

Ah, I see. Well, I certainly wasn't doing any whoo-hooing (except during I'm The Man ) or making random song requests, so I think I should be safe. A repeat performance this year?

recorded from about 6 feet behind Paul... enjoy.

Me? Eesh, I hope I don't show up on the tape anywhere...

I share your love of random shows. Road trip?

they are if you like super fun power pop with boy-girl harmonies and somewhat enigmatic lyrics. oh, and canadians.

(seriously, if you get a chance, check 'em out!)

Wonder where in NYC he will play????

I'm guessing not at Fez, where I believe he played the first time he did the solo thing.

RIP, Fez.

Mr Bop, go search youtube for 'Andre Ethier O Canada'. Andre the Deadly Snake sang the national anthem as Andre the outfielder looked on from the dugout.

The ol' YouTube isn't fully functioning for me right now, T, but I think I get the picture. Hilarious! I also love how most of the comments are about the relative hotness of both the singer and outfielder. Double hilarious!

Kristina...happy happy birthday to you! Who knows when you'll actually read this, but I hope you're having a wonderful day, m'dear!

^ with Andre Ethier

Doesn't he play for the Dodgers?

Stick around afterward and tell Bash-a that Tualla sent you.

T, I actually invoked your name in a brief chat with Basia after her Joe's Pub show in NYC a couple of weeks ago. Hope that was OK. She remembered your posting to her MySpace page!

So when Jeff said people should stop saying "for reals", what was the other phrase he said should be banned? I can't remember.

"I loves me some [whatever]."

Paul, I think you should definitely post who requested what. I hear some people even got multiple requests!

Haha, very funny.

What was this about?

They and their families apparently were vacationing on the same isolated beach in Mexico a couple of years back, two cabins away from each other. And at least according to Jeff, the person staying in the cabin between them was an Uncle Tupelo fan...ha!

Here was the full setlist, as best as I could cobble it together through the stories, interruptions, etc. I also have who requested what (when Jeff announced it) in case anyone's interested. I'll probably butcher the spelling of a lot of names, though.

Has anybody ever told Craig that he looks like Clint Howard?

I'm sure he would be quite insulted. He does have a way with the ladies. (Mart, you think Craig would be amused to learn he's being discussed on the Wilco message board?)

P.S. The last couple of times I've seen Mart, he's done great renditions of Jesus, etc. and Misunderstood.
