just pre-ordered wilco's new DVD (how could i not have?) got a free high-res download of "monday" from the DVD for preordering...i don't normally like (i.e. i normally fucking HATE) concert films with a lot of quick-cutting. but. this clip is excellent, despite the fact that there are like 120,000 camera cuts in the song's four-minute run time. i'm really excited to see this thing in its entirety. just got the tracklist too:
Ashes of American Flags / Side with the Seeds /
Handshake Drugs / The Late Greats / Kingpin / Wishful Thinking /
Impossible Germany / Via Chicago / Shot in the Arm / Monday /
You Are My Face / Heavy Metal Drummer / War on War
despite the fact that there are a lot of obvious choices and me being a weirdo i would have preferred some odder cuts (muzzle of bees, spiders, at least that's what you said, i am trying to break your heart, blah blah), this list is totally solid. well, with the exception of "wishful thinking", which is a good song, but for my money could have been replaced with "how to fight loneliness" or a few other songs if they were going for a somber choice.
on the up-upside, all the DVD tracks including these extras will apparently be available as a free download (audio only) when i get the DVD:
Extras: I'm the Man Who Loves You / Airline to Heaven /
It's Just that Simple / At Least That's What you Said /
I am Trying to Break your Heart / Theologians / Hate it Here
so that's fun.
also got to hear neko case's middle cyclone the other day. i really like it, and fox confessor is also really growing on me, finally.
partway through the second of three phish hampton run shows, and still loving it, though the beginning of night two was (more than) a bit sloppy.
sorry i haven't been writing much lately; things is crazy. at the very least, more photos to come. also, i think LL may be doing some art/drawings for my upcoming website thingamajigger.
i'm gonna submit a few of the poems i've written lately to a few indie presses and see what happens. looking at finally attempting to write a new album this summer as well as record the one i wrote last year. sheesh.
at least i'm teaching until june, so i shouldn't starve to death. more later.
