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!)

yeah, in my haste i forgot to mention that not-so-insignificant fact. haha. i'd like to get to one of these shows, although i'm sad the madison one won't be at the barrymore. maybe the

punctuation much?

Just got an e-mail from NP HQ: Apr 9: Toronto, ON @ Phoenix Concert Theatre Apr 10: Pontiac, MI @ The Crofoot Ballroom Apr 11: Columbus, OH @ Newport Music Hall Apr 12: Munhall, PA @ Carnegie Music Hall in Homestead Apr 13: Ithaca, NY @ The State Theater of Ithaca Apr 14: Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club Apr 16: Richmond, VA @ Toad

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

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!

Doesn't he play for the Dodgers?

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!

"I loves me some [whatever]."

Haha, very funny.

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. Spiders (Kidsmoke) [started, messed up, stopped] The Community Song, part 1 Spiders (Kidsmoke) Someday Soon -Bubba the bus driver story- Radio King She's a Jar The Family Gardener Cars Can't Escape The Community Song, part 2 -apology to Aaron (sp?) for not playing On and On and On- -Grammy/high school reunion story- Pecan Pie The Ruling Class

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.

URGENT: Mart, it appears I need a #5 and a #7! Hope those aren't OOP yet... (I'll pick up a #8 sometime soon, provided they're printed and ready to go. )

the stardog ages another year. wow, pretty soon he'll be 20! have a kickass birthday, my man (can I call you a man now?)

Oh, I can't wait! Personally, I'm eager to relive the New Year's show so I can remember something other than several dudes' really loud voices screaming out "Psychokiller!" in my ear.

H and Z...I must say I'm impressed by your fangirl/fanboy zeal. Get a room already, will ya?

It's All The Same To Me, which is a terrific song (although maybe the album version suffers a little bit from the production).

Damn, I've just been catching up. What a shocker. I've been hearing way too much about people passing away lately, and this is saddest news yet... I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Nat a few times, I think most recently at Jeff's solo show in Portland in early 2006 (on the tour for the Sunken Treasure DVD). We were standing next to each other at the front of the stage and I remember chatting with her before the show started and thinking, 'Wow, this is the first time I've really had a chance to talk to her. She's very cool.' I also have a distinct memory of her hanging outsi

could be worse-you could be in philly. not that i have any great love for philly, but I believe the show there next month will be the band's first in those parts in almost three years. the band itself doesn't have much to do with where specifically they're going to play, anyway. i mean, if they wanted to line up a new york gig (or anywhere else), they could obviously, but i believe that the intent of the february run is to mostly hit some places they haven't yet behind sky blue sky.

I still remember your elk stew from one of those VC summits at Lou's house forever ago. You're a fan of the game meat, I take it. Anyway, hope you had a great day (sounds like it...)!

hope you got some dough to burn-those are some of the nicest hotels in chicago.
