Finding this realm was one of the highlights of my last turnabout the sun.
I’m no where near a computer, most of the day, being my apartment doesn’t even have a phone yet, but I hope to be less ghostlike in the future, or something like that, anyway, thanks for the b-day thread and I’m out likeaghost
Lil’ Kim and 50 Cent – Magic Stick
Turns out this is the true summer jam or so it seems, wierd being around real radio stations, but still rarely listening…
the BBC rocks.
I had just moved into my new digs and hooked up my antenna, yes a cable free life for likeaghost, and was phyched for another year of breakfast at Wimbledon, but alas I fell asleep from exhaustion and whatnot. I was pulling for Venus,and once Andre fell the men’s side was a waste…

I’m here for a year…Last saturday, being the 21st of June in this year of confusion featuring double zeros smack dab in the middle of the number 23, I had the pleasure of being at the convergance of two rivers at a park in a city called pittsburgh seeing a free show by a band known as Wilco. Run-ons are so easy to right, yet not fun to read I imagine. Anyway, the show was amazing. I got there a minute or two late, parking was distant being a pirates game across the bridge and all the madness of the arts festivel, whcih was the reason the concert was free and there and cool as all get out. I only discovered Wilco last fall about the time Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was getting too much press to pass up. I had been scared of them based on the Alternative Country label they seem to get slapped with from time to time. I got there during the song "Kamera" from YHF, it was followed by "War on War" also from YHF. After those two songs, or in the middle, all is a bit muddled in my retrospective attempt at a review/setconstruction, Jeff Tweedy, frontman, began speaking about the ememse shurburie inbetween the stage and the first row of fans. He seems a bit off by the distance of the audience. His bantar was comicly cynical fun and I dug the other insights that followed every few songs. After those two songs came two new songs, introuduced as such, and then two form Summer Teeth (How to fight Loneliness and Via Chicago) then more YHF. All in all they played 8 of 11 songs from YHF, obmitting "I am trying to break your heart, Radio Cure, and Ashes of American Flags", althought they may have played them before I got there. Their set concluded with Poor Places sliding beautifully into Reservations, which is how YHF ends, sans the musical connection yet still connected well, as that album fits so well together. While waiting for the encore, the video screen behind the band began showing film clips of monkeys. During most of the set it displayed black and white montouges of buildings. Slightly before the band returned the monkeys, also in black and white, turned into a live real time shot of the crowd in full color
:aliensmile: . Then Mr. Tweedy said they were going to play a song they hadn’t played in a while because this girl in about hte 6th row wanted ot hear it really bad, then he made someone or at least asked someone to pick her up so everyone could see who she was. The song was "Don’t forget the flowers". There was maybe two more songs, both form Being There or maybe AM. I have all of their albums, except AM, which I believe is a bit too country for my taste. I’m a bit sketchy on the song names for Being there being I don’t have them written down. I figured that was that. It had been a beautiful night of music. The sunset beyond the fountian at the rivers convergance created a background not only the band, but the casual crowd conisour/obsevant view visitor. Anyway, I began walking toward town to retrieve my car and head to the next eposide, yet the band returned. JT informed us that it was just too darn good to stop so more must go on. At this point they began "Misunderstood" the first and my favorite track on Being There, also one of the few I know the name of. The instrumental break in about the middle was extended in a slow jammy/noisy fashion that reminded me of how amazing live music truely can be. They proceeded to play three or for more songs, two running together and at least one I had never heard before that had the best lryics about quiting television watching, seriously. It all made me smile and I was so darn happy with the free show, I would have spent big bucks to see Wilco as they never seem to be on tour, although I’ve just put them in my radar so hopefully I’ll get to see them indoors someday. I love the beauty of an outdoor show, but there is something about a good club/arena sound system and a killer band to make it bounce around the room like a kid in a candy store.peace

I’d vote for J in a second, althought I doubt he’d want to be president. Reviews are so fun to read but they make me wish I was going to a show like right now, but alas patience is required in this world we walk around in…
much thanks for the link
I just remembered, I just watched this movie "Roger Dodger" and it sucked. I had such high hopes. I thought it seemed like a cool idea and I dig Cambell Scott but it was as thin as Elizabeth Berkley’s movie career and a waste of my time. I only rented it, but it was a new release/super hit so that’s $3.17 down the drain. After I watched it i wasn’t sure what to think, but then as days went on I realized it was horrible. If you want to watch entertaining movies about dating and meeting people in bar type situations, I’d recomend the Wilt Stillman movies; Metroplolitan, Barcalona, and the Last Days of Disco. Roger Dodger is just trash, but I may be mistaken being that all we have are opinions and when we for them on others we get in trouble…
