i need to think of something good.... edit- submitted my wilco birthday ninjas picture. *fingers crossed*

both openers were very good. the spring standards are from NYC, and rhett actually co-produced their record. they were enjoyable. sleepercar was okay...they're from el paso (i think). i enjoyed their set considerabely less than the spring standards. the 97's were tight, in fact, i think it's the best they've ever sounded. though, that could be because i'd not seen them in 3 years.

i wish they were doing an in-store in nashville. thought about making it to ATL too, but it would cause me to miss 3 out of 4 class days... not happening. stupid stat class. i am SUPER excited for this Wends. The Mercy Lounge is a fun place to see a show, especially a show by a band I haven't seen since 2005.

somebody on the new Old 97's message board, i think he may even post here, gave away one of Phillip's drumsticks to a person who wrote a note about what the 97's mean to them. i thought that was really sweet and generous. it was nice to see somebody giving something away that could mean so much to another fan. maybe that's what you should do, man. that being said, i am a poor college student too, and i don't go around selling my wilco stuff. that's why there are jobs, you know...go work at a starbucks or a target.... they are always looking for college age employees. i have a jeff tweedy

My sister and I might try to make the Bijou show...

i'll tune in.

I have been excited about seeing them in September since I first heard about it in May... Would it be bad taste to wear a Wilco shirt to this show?

saw it monday and LOVED it! wow. i am stoked to go see it again with my family this weekend

i saw him a few months ago too. got to meet him before the show, and he was a super guy. really really nice, and honestly i thought he would be an asshole. the show was amazing! he played for nearly 2 hours. we got to see him at a very tiny venue in chattanooga 5 rows back and it was incredible. the new songs he played were great. def go see him if he plays in your area, the only bummer is the steep tickets. $40 a piece. EDIT- i have the I

Congrats Glenn!! yay babies!

very nice radiohead and roses! cover songs make me happy!

you could put it on muxtape maybe? archive.org?

i did this at my last gig... "Color of A Lonley Heart Is Blue" off the newest Old 97's record. anybody else have any good covers you love to do?

not really music, but a car in front of me (i guess i should note it was a VW...) had a wilco sticker on the bumper. made my day!

indeed. i'm also really digging the string usage.

this record is very good. much more layered maybe a bit more mature. i dig it.

I guess I was 17... and one of my high school teachers saw I like Wilco and Elliott Smith and she made me a copy of It Still Moves because she loved the record and thought I would like it too. And I do, and "Z" haven't gotten any early stuff yet though...

i am super excited to see them in August!

on the "low rider" reference A-Man. The trombone section of my high school band arranged that song for the section, and it was always so fun. I play "On and On and On" based off of that solo acoustic tab that was posted in the tab section, but instead of capo on 5 I capo on 1 to sing it better. My register is higher so a lower capo works well. I also played around with the chords. It's more of an interpretation... I will see if somebody can video a bit of it friday that i can post.

Thanks guys. I am playing again next friday. Outside this time, during a car show. Yay for play in heat. Maybe I will get the car show folks to rock out a little....

Happy Birthday Rosie! W00t. some RSBFs for you on your birfday!

I requested "Wishful Thinking" in person to Jeff before the Nashville show, and it didn't get played, but he said they were gonna play "Pieholden Suite" which was my request through the website a week or so before. and the lucky people who saw the show in AL the day after the Nashville show got to hear "Wishful Thinking" (lucky ducks) So, they do honor website requests. When they played that one in Nashville I nearly fell over when it started, looked at my friend and said "Holy CRAP!!" and she looked like: One day you will hear it!

yep i learned it from an Elliott Smith cover. Beautiful song. here's a youtube vidoe my cousin took from last night:

there has not been a super good local band in chattanooga for at least 3 years now, which is sad
