Radio King


Recommended Posts

Jeff's singing has gotten so much better in the last 12 years. I just heard the original recording of Radio King, and I prefer the Sunken Treasure version so much more...

 

 

P.S...what the hell is up with Pecan Pie?

Love is great, in a complicated way (I'm Always in Love), sometimes you're in love and fuck up ('Reservations), sometimes you're in love and fucked up (IATTBYH)...

 

Sometimes everything is thankfully simple, and all you want is her and a piece of pecan pie.

in one of the lounge ax shows from back in the day, the first performance of it if I understand correctly, after a flase start Jeff explains he wrote it ont he way from blockbuster to the venue. and yes sometimes its as simple as you a dollup of dreamwhip and a piece of pecan pie.

I'm thinking that was his last lounge ax performane, if it's the same one where he talks about making sure he plays certain songs since it's his last oppertunity (besides the Wilco performance a few days later).

Agreed. Any ideas about the metaphorical importance behind Screen Door? :hmm

I think screen door is really nothing more than what it's like to live in a poor small town and be at the age (18-22ish) when you only have a certain amount of responsibilities, especially if your in school.

The explanation may be at the end of Casino Queen or the beginning of Pecan Pie. I don't remember.

the first time he played it at Longue Ax was in 1994, the show you're mentioning is from 97 or 99 I think.

The show you're thinking of is this one. The last Lounge Ax show.

 

It's by far my favorite of his solo shows from before Wilco really hit it big. It sets the precedent for all of his later ones.

 

Check it oot.
