Definately worth seeing once if you've never seen them before. I was pretty obsessed with them for a while when Alligator first came out and saw about 6 shows in a year but now I've become a bit bored with them recently and have missed their last couple of shows,I wasn't completely bowled over by Boxer either. Having said that they usually put on a good show and the lead singer can be pretty fun to watch so I'd say go and give it a go!

Take the rings off your fingers as if they were tears and find a new kind of beauty to put a silver lining on your golden years All your clever talk and your glamour bright lies you don't hear anymore You've gone so far out all you want is the tide to take you back to the shore Take courage Take courage said the sign You used to wait for it every morning Now you are looking so dumb and they don't see you standing there Trying to figure out why all your promises left you hanging in mid-air And you lost your war of words, Oh but your heart was strong. You said, "the dirt can have my pretty

I think its just a very poor record, true I'm not the biggest fan and have always preferred the Nebraska/Tom Joad side of his material but I enjoyed a lot of The Rising and this just sounds awful. Having just been trawling through the excellent 11 (!) disc Love,Tears & Mystery tour comp of the Devils & Dust tour and you just realise how great Bruce can (& could) be. Production ain't so hot either. I hear there is a Tracks Vol 2 in the pipeline so hopefully that might be somewhat better!

Hello,another Brit here,been a fan since I saw Uncle Tupelo at the old Mean Fiddler in London back in 1992,anyone else here at that show? Looking forward to the Brixton show too,great place to see gigs,missed the Shepards Bush Empire shows but that great sbd matrix of the recent Portland show doing the rounds has really wet my whistle!

Go get "The Live Adventures Of The Waterboys", a 2 cd comp of live tracks from 1986 and you'll see that back then they were the greatest live band of that era! There have been a ton of excellent live shows up on Dime recently too. The new record is absolutely terrible though.

I know the Fogerty set is up on Dime, was great, I was there!

I was really looking forward to that but was pretty disappointed,nothing really grabbed me, maybe I need to give it another listen though!

The mps sounds great, am v excited for the album now! Been kind of disappointed with most of the recent BSS members solo albums (bar Feist naturally) but this is sounding good!

It's finally leaked,got a copy on Soulseek,sounds okay,nothing mindblowing though.

American Music Club Engine California United Kingdom Everclear Mercury Pretty flawless!

God, I wish I could listen to the UT back catalogue for the first time again, you are so lucky that you have that to look forward to, go do it....NOW!

It's working out at about

And hence why I won't be buying the new one when it initially comes out!!

They offered you those as mp3 downloads as an an alternative to rebuying the cds but I'm sure there are enough completists amongst us who wanted the proper 2CD version with lossless versions.

I think they were Australian 2CD versions but they were plentiful here in the UK!

I'm gonna hold off buying the album for a while his time, I'm sick of them rereleasing the album with bonus disc/extra tracks etc 6 months down the line, I had to rebuy the last two albums and not gonna fall for it again. mp3 downloads aren't the same as having the actual bonus disc IMHO!

I had a copy a lot earlier than that which someone sent me, I think it was the ever so slightly different version though.

So now the new Arcade Fire has properly leaked, what do people think? It was always gonna be be a bit of a letdown but it seems a bit weighed down in it's own melodrama and as such lacks the wonderful exhuberance of Funeral. It's getting better with repeated listens & I'm thinking certain songs would definately come to life when seen live but still a bit of a disappointment IMHO.

I had that pre release version without Late Greats, don't remember it being any different to the released version, in fact I probably threw the cdr away once the album came out. It's possible there may have been some very minor differences here & there but I definately didn't notice them!

By most accounts Eitzel was the highlight of that show playing "Last Harbour", are they planning to broadcast any of that show on KALW? http://www.geocities.com/rsjbraz/AmericanM...lubArchive.html

So I was just listening to the great sbd of Wilco at Howlin Wolf in New Orleans in LA from 28/04/00, it's up on Dime at moment btw, and was blown away by the rockin live version of Too Far Apart. It seems they havn't played it much since mid nineties apart from a handful of times in 2000 but could really see the current lineup playing a wonderful version,some great guitar work on there for Nels to get his teeth into! I see now that Jeff did play it solo last year so fingers crossed!

My House - Lou Reed

I think her vocals really improve the record, they contrast Wills perfectly, I hated the female vocals on Master & Everyone since they flattened Will's sound whereas these somehow enhance them.

Had the DVD for ages but havn't got round to watching it,just popped it in. Starts with Joey doing a solo All systems red in his kitchen in March 2005, then them writing/rehearsing Bisbee Blue in studio, then a feature on Paul Niehaus the pedal steel guy followed by a bit with John Convertino in studio banging away on his drums. You then get Joey back in his kitchen doing All Systems red this time in June, the DVD ends with the band playing the song live in December 2005 so you kind of get a sense of how the song progressed over the year. In between you get little features on the other guys in
