Song For The Pidgeons


Recommended Posts

Go to that Loft zooming picture thing: http://www.wilcoweb.com/loft/gigapan.php

 

Have a look at the stashed tapes. One is labelled with "The Country Disappeared" / "Song For The Pidgeons". Not a big fan of pidgeons myself.

 

Just thought it was mildly amusing. It's like playing Myst or something looking around the loft on these pictures - only I've never played Myst.

 

Also went to have a look at the books / CDs. You can make out a few CDs.

 

Jesus Christ - Kidsmoke I can see The Mighty Boosh (middle stack of the 3, right up against the left hand side) - are you thinking what I'm thinking? Hope it tickled some fancies anyway. :pirate

 

Seem to have a few copies of Down With Wilco vinyle they couldn't shift. Perhaps they give them away to visitors :dontgetit

 

Bookshelf observations: "Literary St. Louis" - quite a thin book that (joke). "The Great Fire Of London" - walk past where it started every day.

 

Also, liked the Beatles White Album portraits on the mixer or whatever it is.

 

Bit surprised no Wilco nut has done an analysis of the pics before (or have they?). Just me then ...

 

Now back to watching Glastonbury on BBC 2 / 3 / 4 whilst standing 80 feet away from the TV in the garden with my feet in a bucket of pigsh*t for a touch of that real atmosphere. Saw The Low Anthem on Thursday - much better than anything I've seen there so far (but then the BBC have a habit of putting the same old stuff on - Kasabian etc. for God sake). Bruce will be on later though - he already made an appearance for one song by the gAslight Anthem.

 

OK, I'm rambling. Ta ra.

Must admit I was too busy drooling over their outboard gear...

Holy Toledo, Andrew, there it is!!! See, I told you I passed that along! And now it rests in high esteem amongst the wild jumble that is The Loft, how cool is that?!?!

 

I'm going to dig my copies out...it's been too long since I enjoyed those wonderful slices of lunacy! I'm sure the band has enjoyed them too. :thumbup

I hate stuff like this!

 

In the Wilco Book there are several sets of lyrics in the back, "Old Maid", "The High Heat", "My Words", "White Cat, New Life", and "Obituary". We've never heard the last two to my knowledge, and have never heard a full studio version of "My Words". AND I WANT THEM DAMMIT!

 

Maybe we can get a boxed set eventually.

i love these loft pictures, because you can be as obsessive as you want without actually scaring anyone! :) it's neat to see an inside veiw of the place many of us will never see in person.

 

also, while we are on the subject, the mighty boosh is hysterical. my sister and i watch episodes through on demand thing our cable provider has.

Though I'm a musician, I found the book/CD shelves more interesting than the actual gear. Years ago that probably would've been reversed.

 

The CDs are quite blurry, but zooming in you can make out CDs by the likes of: Glenn Gould, The Weakerthans, Smog, John Cale, Leonard Bernstein, Love, The Millennium, Dennis Wilson, Calexico, Count Basie, John Fahey, Sleater-Kinney, Liars, The Search Party, Turin Brakes, David Essex, NRBQ... Pretty diverse, which is what you'd expect.
