It's all right, I forgive you.

McMenamy, right? But yeah.

Yeah, I tried to switch it back to the umlaut...but it won't let me. If that could be fixed, I'd appreciate it!

daniel's balls with sooz's bacon wrapped around them was pretty tasty as well.

I just did a quick Google search and it looks like it's a side project of Alan Sparhawk from Low. Their MySpace says they're from Duluth, Minnesota, so that seems right. I don't know too much about their actual music, but if it's possible, I bet Nels will probably sit in for a song or two like he did when another of Alan's side projects, The Black-Eyed Snakes, opened for Wilco a couple years back.

You did do "A New Word," and I even had it in the old notebook but somehow forgot to include it on the post-show jam setlist. I've since amended my error, as well as noting various song fragments by you and Dave. Let me know if anything else comes to mind. Accuracy is a virtue, in my book! P.S. Great photos, y'all! I saw many cameras at the show, so I hope we get to see more!

Gotcha, Mart. Great tune, and certainly quite fitting! (Now that was a tough setlist to keep! You did a couple fragments at the very end too-not sure if you even remember. It was something I forgot to jot down, and then a verse of a Radiohead song or something like that.) Anyway, loved getting to hear a couple of songs off the next record as well as a couple off Dave's new one. Oh, and Jeff was pretty good as well.

Thought I'd take this opportuniy to post the setlist I cobbled together for the "headliners" at last night's show. I always look forward to the post-show campfire that's become sort of a tradition, and it was once again a splendid time! Since there was only one guitar, our very own Martin Rivas (Twisted Acres) and Dave Mirabella (MeDave) traded off doing mini-sets of both covers and originals that went on late into the night... Mart -Be Thankful For What You Got [William DeVaughn] -Spirits in the Material World [The Police] -Heckuva Day -My Best Friend

Dave, you're the best! Hope your drive back is a safe one and see you again soon hopefully!

one of 'em's probably a coffee.

sorry, sorry! so glad you finally got your song, alison! it was indeed another wonderful and unique evening, and thanks to jeff and susan (and everyone who contributed to the kickass potluck and, heck, to everyone who was there) for being a part of it! the setlist, which doesn't come close to doing justice to the show itself, went like this: -I'm Into Something Good [Herman's Hermits] -ELT -Simple Twist of Fate [bob Dylan] (aborted) -Hotel Arizona -Be Not So Fearful [bill Fay] -Henry and the H-Bombs [Mott the Hoople] -Let's Not Get Carried Away -Summer Teeth -Build Me Up Buttercup [The

It's been waaaay too long, Mart. And I will make it to an all-original show soon. Embarrassed to say I've missed so many of those (May at Rockwood is looking strong, though.) Hope your pipes are feeling better and see you soon. Actually, really soon!

Awesome, T! Glad you got to see them, and I definitely love their version of "Don't Bring Me Down." Someday you've got to catch a show when Dan is with them as well. That adds, ahem, another element to the proceedings! Looking forward to seeing a show from this tour in a couple days, both the NPs and Okkervil with Charles.

Guess they couldn't get those hometown faves OK Go. I've been waiting for these two to be on the same bill. Now if they could just get the Black Angels, Black Mountain and the Black Keys! Awesome, lol. Solo Bohemian Rhapsody here we come!

Definitely strange since it's in Virginia. That is a pretty bearish drive from Virginia to Montreal, though. They do have an off-day in between, but I'm guessing a lot of that will be spent in the car/van.

C'mon froggie...Some of us are counting on you here!

Holy shit, Dunja...Not sure how I missed this for so long. What a traumatic thing! I can't imagine what was going through your mind when you heard about the accident, but I'm so glad to hear that Tara is going to be OK! Thank God. Please pass along my best wishes for a speedy speedy recovery!

The printed setlist had The Lonely 1 preceding Spiders in the second encore, which would have been pretty awesome had it been done. A solid show, nonetheless, considering the seated venue. I personally thought there might be a little more Mermaid stuff in Welly, but I guess they're sticking to mostly post YHF material, considering these are the first full-length shows they've done in NZ. And the banter about the post-Easter tradition of wearing your metal T-shirts was hilarious, considering you couldn't walk around town for five minutes yesterday without seeing either an Ozzy or KISS shirt.

For Wilco's first "real" (i.e. non-festival) show in New Zealand, the setlist was as follows: Sunken Treasure You Are My Face Muzzle of Bees Handshake Drugs War on War Side With The Seeds A Shot in the Arm Radio Cure Shake It Off Pot Kettle Black Impossible Germany Via Chicago California Stars Forget the Flowers Jesus, etc. Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You ------------------------------- Hummingbird On and On and On Spiders (Kidsmoke) ------------------------------- Hate It Here Kingpin The Late Greats Actually, I saw on a printed setlist that after The Late Greats, the show was supposed t

A Shot in the Arm Radio Cure You Are My Face Impossible Germany Handshake Drugs Pot Kettle Black Side with the Seeds She's a Jar Misunderstood Was I (In Your Dreams) Forget the Flowers A Magazine Called Sunset Jesus, etc. Too Far Apart I'm Always In Love I'm The Man who Loves you Poor Places> Spiders (Kidsmoke) ------------ On & On & On Walken Hate It Here Can't Stand It Casino Queen I'm A Wheel Hoodoo Voodoo

A belated happy happy birthday, Judy. Yay minor holiday birthdays! Miss you! (See you soon, though!)

Easy! Easy! Easy! I was kind of hoping Noble would jump off Dave's desk or something, but it was good to see them nevertheless.

oh, kara...i thought i saw you as well, but it was freezing and i didn't make it over to see for sure. don't be strangely shy next time! sorry to hear you had trouble with security. to be honest, i still think val air is a pretty cool place for a show

so glad you had a good time, evonne! i take it the parish was just a slightly better venue than the verizon? haha. coachella! (p.s. if you hear about anyone trying to unload a decent ticket for radio city, let me know... )

It might have been on the printed setlist, but it wasn't played.
