it's an itunes file... could you d/l itunes?

yeah, it was def. an amazing night. i don't think i stopped smiling from 5pm til we got back to the hotel at about 1. plus the set list... i swear if i had made a set list for my first show it would be almost exactly what they played... 1. Misunderstood 2. Hell Is Chrome 3. Handshake Drugs 4. Muzzle Of Bees 5. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart 6. Company In My Back 7. A Shot In The Arm 8. At Least That's What You Said 9. War On War 10. Via Chicago 11. Jesus, Etc. 12. Hummingbird 13. Walken 14. I'm The Man Who Loves You 15. Spiders (Kidsmoke) Encore 1

OK, so last night I wrote this song and it is for a really great friend of mine. I want to play it for him, but I don't want to sound like shit. This is really rough, because I did it about 1 in the morning. Any and all advice good or bad is welcome. Here's the song, it's called "Waltz #5" http://www.sendspace.com/file/0oyolp

yeah, because if you put the capo on, but you changed the chords to fit so that they sounded harmonically the same with the capo on you wouldn't be doing anything except changing the chord voicings. i play several wilco songs "up" a few frets with a capo, because sometimes jeff sings pretty low. so just keep the same chords and play with where you put the capo till it sounds right.

yeah, and his oratorio didn't even fit the textbook definition of an oratorio....

i wonder if somebody will tape it, or if it will be released on a disc? that's so cool! i need to tell my theory teacher that some rock musicians still do "classical" stuff...

i

it's on sad pandas.... thesadpandas.blogspot.com "cheer me up, cheer me up, i'm a miserable fuck" is probably my faovrite line on the record. so great.

now to pre-order or not to pre-order... i doubt fye would order the vinyl for me...

My personal favorite is the first show I saw, but that's because it was my first show, and as close to an out of body experiance as I've ever had. Thomas Wolf Auditorium- Asheville, NC- 10-14-05

when i saw him he was a drunk babbling mess. he passed out beer to underaged kids at the front of the stage. maybe it was just that tour though. the songs were good, it was the between-songs that go me. that and the teeny boppers that insisted on squeezing as close to the stage as possible. totally not cool, because my sister's friend almost got trampled. it was the first GA show where i actually went to sit when the headliner came on.

It's over at Sad Pandas too... I'm digging so far. My sister is going to be thrilled that this leaked. I just wish that dude's live show was better... saw him once, and I am not doing that again.

When they come at the end of the verses it's just quick. there's my version of the song and here's rhett's...

No prob, I hope it's right. I wrote that really early this morning.

wow! that's awesome!!

i really dig it! got it this past tuesday... i like that it's a little bit softer than Shake the Streets, and the only song that really annoys me is "Bomb. Repeat. Bomb"...

Rhett plays this song in a D tuning (just drop everything a whole step on the guitar, if you are so inclined). So he starts on an F. I play this with a Capo on 1 and start on D. I played the following for Rhett a month ago, and he said it was as correct as it could be without drop tuning. So, the verse is: D, F#m, G, D, G, D chorus: G, D, weird E chord #1, weird E chord #2, G back to verse then for the "wake me up now" part: F#m, G, D, G, D, G, D weird E chord #1, weird E chord #2 the back to chorus... now then the weird E chords look like(i'm guessing it's some type of 7): #1 is first

hmm, he must have just put random stuff at the end of the disc to fill it up... thanks guys!

Does anybody have any idea about the track list? My friend made me a copy and didn't include the track list, and the one of allmusic doesn't have all the songs. There's 15 songs on it... the last track is only about :53 long... Thanks for any help. I'm loving the disc!

rhett miller: I remember the Alamo, I don't recall who won They had swords, they had horses, I hear we had mighty guns Like the ones from Navarone last night on Channel 21 It's a long way back to El Paso. It was early Monday morning in the Central Standard Zone You were quiet like the TV, hung up like the telephone You were sleeping next to me, I might as well have been alone It's a long way back to El Paso. CHORUS And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a long time ago. And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a long time ago. And if my heart was a car You

yikes.

I'm excited for the one about "XO".

Glad I am not the only one that thought he butchered the song!

there's also one with the skull logo that you could get at the jeff solo shows he did in the south. it's awesome.

Rust Never Sleeps After the Goldrush On the Beach Tonight's the Night Eeverybody Knows This Is Nowhere that's my top 5....
