Atticus Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Anyone ever put together a Jeff Tweedy "best of" of between-songs banter? The more of these shows I've downloaded the more I've thought of trying to put one of these together. Not sure what software I'd need to cut out snippets and paste them together. Suggestions? EDIT: For newcomers: Thanks to everyone for all the input so far. For those of you who may be sending multiple tracks (at least if you're going to send them to me), I'd prefer that you use the format below, as it will help me to eliminate duplications. I suggest that you send your files (in .mp3 format) named as follows: year.month.day.location(relative to song).songtitle e.g.: 2005.06.28.pre.Hummingbird (when banter is before tune, but included in track)2005.06.28.post.Hummingbird (when banter is after tune, but included in track)2005.06.28.mid.Hummingbird (when banter is in the middle of a tune)2005.06.28.standalone (if the banter is its own track) That way I'll be able to store all the files in an easy-to-organize format, and duplications will make themselves apparent. If you have already edited the banter out of the track, please let me know in your email or posting, so they don't go in my "to be edited" stack. Please send any submissions to tweedybanter@sbcglobal.net or just post them here, with a link to whatever site you're using to post the files. Should be a good compilation in the end. I welcome any and all suggestions on ways to make this easier, quicker, better, etc. --Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

random painted highway Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 "Bright eyes, he ain't gonna do that" ~tweedy after the kingpin screamfest His response to "Duke sucks!" at the 03/05/06 chapel hill show "Oh, we can handle anything, we were in New Jersey last night, so I think we can handle William and Mary. If you think you can give New Jersey a run for its money, then I'm frightened." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rockinrob Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have a bunch of great ones from the fall 05 tour but I dont remember the dates off hand. Jeff Tweedy's gonna play you.... The whole abyss skit... when his son played drums on I'm the Man who loves you and he dedicates it to mommy There are a few more, but that tour as a whole was hilarious. If this whole music thing doesn't work out for tweedy, he could be a comedian.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 when his son played drums on I'm the Man who loves you and he dedicates it to mommyI received a call from that show, and I still have that on my voice mail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is the one where he talks about the people in the first row "not counting" anymore, they are just a "security blanket", but after thousands of shows Jeff starts wondering how he can continue to "please" them. I was standing right behind these people and it was hysterical and ridiculous all at the same time. Also he made comments about himself being a megalomaniac, and visiting the Mall of AmericaS, plural, international theme. Maybe you had to be there, and be from Minnesota, but it was damn funny. -annie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 2005.11.09, Southern Theatre Where he gets his "insightful" joke from, and his "black abyss" thing. He retold these many shows after this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FaintingGoat Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I wish I could remember his exact words, but I loved his discourse during the show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley about how "angry" the hippies on Telegraph had (have) become. On behalf of most of the locals I'd have to say we agree--just 'cause you're a white dude with dreadlocks doesn't mean you inherit the 60's ideal. It may have been "counter culture" when you were in college, but now it's just sad--get a job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
