  1. I love that part. I saw a tribute band this past weekend that played the entire Abbey Road record, and this part was really fun to hear live. The MOOG solo in Maxwell's Silver Hammer always blew my mind as a kid... I had no idea what was making that noise but I liked it
  2. I like some of those anthology outtakes better just for that reason... also the solo John piano demo thing of Strawberry Fields I never noticed that- listening now.
  3. Yeah, it is indeed an Epi Sort of a knock-off of the Tweedy guitar. Contemplating getting a white pick guard and a truss rod cover that says "tweedy" to make it a true knock off. It plays well. My husband got a great deal on it too.
  4. finally getting around to posting a picture of the guitar my husband bought me for christmas.
  5. Can the rest of us post gig pics we're proud of too? Love all the photos you post!
  6. I can hear similarities in the chord changes for sure. I mean how many times has a D chord been used in pop music with that rhythm in that time signature. probably too many to count. Definitely hear how somebody could make that assumption comparing the two. Hell, if I had heard that song without clicking this thread I would say most likely, "wow that sounds like Sunken Treasure"... rip off, not really, because if you wanna be technical about it everything is a rip off of something in some way or another. I think it's a nice song, and I think it's not right to write it off completely as "not go
  7. Oh man, this is hard, I chose Invincibility, and was assigned Animal Transmogrification... so.... I guess the most logical choice would be to turn myself into a dog and be the Wilco pet on tour. Then when the run ends I would turn back into myself and go about my business. When touring resumes turn back into a dog again and hop back on the bus. Taking turns sleeping at the feet of each one of the guys, and eventually worming my way in to running across the stage to and fro with a cowbell attached to my collar during "Hoodoo Voodoo". Sounds good to me.
  8. Invincibility. Because then I can TRY to fly and not get hurt.
  9. I hardly carry cash these days, so most of the time I won't give them money. When I was a kid, maybe 6 or so, my dad took us to McDonald's for a birthday party, and there was a lady on the corner with a sign asking for money to feed her kids. Dad went through the drive-thru on our way out and bought her 10 cheeseburgers. He gave them to her and the woman just started crying and said "thank you" over and over again and said we were the first people to stop. I don't think I will ever forget that. A few years ago around this time of year a woman approached me as I was getting on the elevator o
  10. The only thing that bugs me about my job is that I don't have just one boss. I have a director that's over our entire dept (only see him maybe 4 times a year). and then my supervisor (he basically makes out the month to month schedule for everyone and keeps us all on track with that, and then occasionally works a weekend), THEN i have about 6 or 7 people that are salaried and rotate taking turns assigning me and 2-7 other people (all of us that do what i do are part time) our various assignments/places to be. it sucks big time because not one of the schedulers wants to do it, and there are a
  11. I assume you'd have to get some sort of an adapter. I have a cord that can plug into my guitar and then the iPad, and I bet it would probably work for a keyboard too. I guess it depends on the app. I think I got the cord from Target...
  12. This. Absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is the best live translation of any Wilco song. Those harmonies. I remember the 1st time I saw them it made me cry, and not just a couple tiny tears, but big ol' sobs of joy. I think it was the 1st time that ever happened to me at a concert. Something I will probably remember forever. My dad thought it was ridiculous... he doesn't "get" wilco though... Love- Hell Is Chrome, Standing O (because it was loud as hell the last time I saw them play it), Company In My Back, Ashes (just because of Nels) Like- everything else they play at that partic
  13. You guys, I am so excited! My husband bought me the Epiphone cousin to the Jeff Tweedy SG. It plays amazing and sounds great. I can't compare it to the Gibson, but the color is pretty close and stuff, so yeah. I am super excited about it, because there's no way in hell I would ever be able to afford the real SG. I'll post pics soon.
  14. Favorite band that I can listen to their records and then go see them play, yes, but my #1 of all time (that I can't go see) is the Beatles.
  15. Should've Been In Chicken Instead of banjo there's clucking at the beginning of the song.
  16. That is so sweet! I hope you guys have an amazing time!
  17. I'm more shocked at the Tame Impala nomination. Didn't realize that they were that "big". Very exciting for JT for sure though! Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks, Wilco!

    Wow, Jesse, thank you for sharing this with all of us! You are such a great guy, and I am so glad that we've known each other for a while now. All because of Wilco! Your video work is awesome, and the DVD project is and was so great. Because of your DVD project I was able to "see" Wilco years before I actually saw them in concert. Your work means a lot to me personally for that reason. So, thank you Jesse, and thank you Wilco!
  19. I got the Sondre Lerche 12" Hi-Fi single that came out, and the Uncle Tupelo 7" both very cool. The cover art for the Sondre Lerche is awesome, and I am thinking of framing it.
  20. The guitar my Papaw made for me. Even though it doesn't have strings on it right now, and I seldom ever play it, it was the 1st really guitar I had, and Papaw built it with his own 2 hands (and several electric saws). He painted a rose near the sound hole and painted my name across the head stock. I played it and played it and played it until it became ragged and unglued at parts. Even though it doesn't look like a Gibson it sounds amazing- it's rosewood mostly I think, and the fact that he made it special for me means a lot. He also made me a fiddle when I was born that I have even though I c
  21. Maybe he keeps it loose to get extra vibration or extra resonance or it distorts the pitch or something?
