'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I live on the East coast, tommyrot, but it doesn't help me hear Jon's show.
Well, when I tried to connect (starting at 9:00 eastern time) I kept on getting the message that the server has reached its maximum number of connections and can't accept any more. I was thinking that if I tried to connect at 8:00 eastern (7:00 here) I'd have been able to get a connection before they were all gone.
At 9:03 ADT (8:03 EDT) I couldnt get on the high bandwith streams.
Damn east coasters, with their early-getting-up ways!
That DLR story is very weird, Joe.
Anyhoo, thanks to everyone who could listen and apologies to those who couldn't get on. It does typically fill-up in the first hour. I recorded the show and plan to archive it so youse who missed it will have a chance to listen. In the meantime, today's playlist.
Hey Jim -- have you heard the Outnumbered? I played them this morning. They were Jon Ginoli's band prior to Pansy Division, and much better IMO. I admire Pansy Division, but song after song about gay sex gets wearing after awhile.
I like the Outnumbered! I used to go see them all the time in Champaign.
I just want to go on record as saying I LOVE THE NEW WILCO ALBUM.
I was kind of skeptical of the good reviews I've read because many friends who have listened to it online were not taken with it (though a few have loved it, of course). And I thought maybe the critics were being benefit-of-the-doubt-y with it because of Yankee Hotel.
And the first time I heard it, I was suprised by the lack of either stand-out classic Wilco/or stand-out new-skronky Wilco tunes. But it does not lack. It just took a more concentrated listen.
It's great. For the moment, I especially like "Spiders (Kidsmoke)".
Wilco was interviewed & performed yesterday on Soundcheck, tina. I had it on but was actually doing my work (what's up w/ that?) so can't tell you if it was any good.

We've discussed this before, joe, that will come to no good.
I'm listening to soundcheck right now. Thanks for the link.
An interview with John Flansburgh (half of They Might Be Giants) about a compilation benefit for MoveOn.org he's doing with Spike Jonze.
Yup. Still in love.
