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.
There is exactly one song on Jon's playlist I'm positive that I know, plus three others I'm pretty sure I have heard but cannot call to mind.
And Jim, *snerk.* Superlatives always bite me in the ass.

Liz Phair?

Hmmm... Helium? Nirvana? Pavement? Maybe Versus?
Oooh, Helium. Which song?
</too lazy to look at Jon's playlist>
Not telling. I'm no laziness enabler.
