I think sometimes I have gotten them in the mail. Kinda depends on the show. Maybe give them your info just to be safe?

"Spencer was confident that his parents would encourage him, no matter what path he took. “If I liked Eminem and got a tattoo, you guys would still support me,” he said. “Let’s not go crazy,” Jeff replied." that was good. Such a dad thing to say.

That is true. I already got my days covered at work, and my husband put in for vacation time, so now all we need are the tickets. I hope luck is on every VC'ers side tomorrow morning.

I sort of like that they announce the gigs the day before the pre-sale. I think it helps our odds of getting better seats... The Ryman is so hard to get tickets to though, in general, so hopefully we will be lucky.

2 nights at the ryman. Praying we can get tickets to both. omg omg omg omg omg.

How hard is it for writers to research the name of the album they are writing to promote? It's very bothersome to me that the title keeps getting butchered. Other than that a good read.

I need to move where you guys live, apparently. My husband and I both work for a non-profit and we barely pull $40K a year combined. Back on topic, I hope the rest of Wilco does this.

You guys rule. Thanks for all the suggestions. All these are great! Thanks y'all!

I cried when I read the news. Sad. He was one of the actors I loved to watch. Saw every movie I could of his. Just so sad. I can't imagine the sorrow a person must feel to fathom killing themselves. It's heartbreaking.

Most all the vocals on the studio cuts I have heard have been double tracked, which I really like. Agreed on his voice live as of late. A couple times at the Ryman I just shut my eyes and listened to him. I think more than any other Jeff's voice resonates with me on some different level. It's just good

"afterwards I found my face in the trash"

That last quote made me laugh out loud. Can't wait to hear the record from start to finish a couple hundred times. Thanks for your efforts, WilcoMe!

i have always had amazing luck with front gate, except for this last TWEEDY ryman show, everything i pulled sucked. however, every single wilco show i have purchased tickets from front gate i've been in the first 5 rows. the best ticketmaster experience for wilco was 3rd row for atlanta a few years ago randomly pulled the afternoon the tickets went on sale. so, i guess not all the best seats are out there right at 10am- or it could have been that venue. pretty stoked to have gotten the tickets for athens in the pre-sale. i imagine the ticket biscuit servers will be strained- i've used

I think some of it might be intentional. Maybe to make it feel more intimate?

going to Athens, GA!

There are no codes, it's through front gate just like usual.

I think he looks like Jeff. Maybe a bit more ragged than when I saw him in Nashville, but whatev. I thought he looked fine of the Tonight show too. But honestly, as long as it's Jeff singing and playing and being awesome he could tattoo his face purple and I wouldn't flinch.

Firstly, craigwinn I dig your avatar. Also, i dig this tune.

I love that tune.

I think Say Anything got their start around 2001 or so. The lead singer is my husband's age, so it's interesting to me that they're sort of my "peers" as far as age goes... most of the bands I listen to are a bit older... it's weird to think about. Digging the Exploding Hearts! Thanks, PopTodd Oh wow, just did a little bit of reading about them... what a bummer about the accident. Damn.

totally. The weird thing is I did that and didn't really like any other other similar bands with the exception of Saves The Day, because I listened to them in the little gap I had before I went Wilco crazy in high school because they were my best friends favorite band. SA is a weird one, because they don't really fit in the genre they get stuck with a lot of the time. I hear more elements of a band like Queen than Saves The Day a lot of the time.

Here's what they sound like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7rYZjv3wNg I know of the majority of the power pop bands listed, but haven't heard of several. I know most of the old school punk bands listed too, but there are several I've not taken the time to appreciate.

Can you guys tell me some good bands in these sort of sub genres of music? I've been really into this band Say Anything... they're pop punk for sure- I know it's probably not a lot of y'alls cup of tea, but I enjoy it for a lot of the same reasons I enjoy Wilco... I'm just looking for new things to listen to, and I trust you guys to help more than some other places on the web.

Three months from yesterday I will be typing that I am seeing Paul McCartney. I can't wait for that to happen. No shows for me until August though... spent all my money on Tweedy last month.

Hola.
