Wilco week starts this Wednesday! Perfect antidote to the post Crazy Horse tour blues...

Who's getting up at 5:30 Chicago Time with me?

Live Concert Webcast from the Sydney Opera House

Cheers, ralph! (I want to call you "Dive") 

[Fully]

I'll be up and listening.

[ralph]

You can call me whatever you like crispy! 

Last night was the 1st night of the Opera House run. Shortest non-festival Wilco set I've ever seen. All done in just on 90 minutes. Felt like it was over just as it was getting started. Bit disappointing to be honest. Hopefully tonight they go a bit longer due to the webcast, but I'm not getting my hopes up....

The 2 Melbourne shows were also hampered by curfews but were both 2 hrs. Great shows though.

Shouldn't be complaining really. The last 4 weeks have been insane. 8 crazy horse and 4 wilco shows. Now I've gotta pay the credit card off so I can afford Bridge Benefit in October...

Live stream is awesome so far. I need every morning to start like this.

[Crispy]

Well, so much for my plan to see this, I woke up at 2 after having crazy dreams about getting webcasts set up and couldn't go back to sleep. When I finally did get back to sleep, I had more crazy dreams and sure as hell didn't want to get up at 5 when the alarm went off, so I shut it off and went back to sleep. With more crazy dreams, this time with MMJ playing at a nice theater in Oklahoma that doesn't exist, and Jim James complimenting my smoking jacket.

Maybe I can catch a replay or something.

[Fully]

You do have a nice smoking jacket.

Since there was much talk about Wilco in the Americanarama thread, I've been trying to make connections between MMJ and Wilco, since people who like one band are "supposed" to like the other. I dont think they are the same band at all, but songs I've thought about so far that are similar....

again, i dont think theyre the same band at all... but it always helps me "get" a band when I have a specific song pointed out to me

This is such a great place, North Adams is so cool.  Im so jealous as I can't go.

I agree about Dancefloors and Monday being very similar.  Amazing.  I'm starting to "get" Wilco a bit, but I don't see them becoming a top 10 favorite of mine.

Don't Fear the Reaper collaboration is great.  I really hope they do that together this summer.

EDIT -- thanks bartel.  I fixed incorrect name above.

I also wanna say that I'm watching AoAF right now, and theres not a person in Wilco that isn't a genius at their instrument (or song writing in Tweedys case)

This soundcheck version of "Ashes" is one of my favourites. Beautiful.
