i finally got around to picking this up and everyone else should do so as well. after owning it for about a week squeezing in listens between the blur that is 'life' and i got to sit with it. on my first day off in forever i put it on to give a hard listen over breakfast. when i finished up i let it...

having not heard the cds, i did attend one show that was taped and thought it was a pretty restrained performance. was anyone else present? is this typical wilco? unfortunately, i actually like wilco less after seeing them live. i hate when that happens.

'sister' was done there back in the day.

somewhere over 500... haven't counted in a while but i know a few hundred have been traded in over the years. thank god for the internet cuz i'm not trading as many in anymore. i have a freind who does an online zine and has walk in closets full of cds from over the years. there should be an 'over 1...

what's the running time on this? are the songs pretty stretched out or more short and concise?

they(he?) have no right to sound as sincere as they do. even the best 'revival' stuff still sounds like 'revival' stuff to me... except dungen. kudos.[/i]

Andrew Bird "...and the Mysterious Production of Eggs"

if you can get past the title you're rewarded with amazing songs with lines like "i'm going to drill a tiny hole into your head."

"Howe Gelb is the best!" the show was my ideal dream scenario for a band: people who just enjoy music. he was calling out to people in the crowd to go up and join him on certain songs. couple that with hiim always changing things up on a whim and it seemed like a 'practice.' I've always been in band...

i've been meaning to pick one up but a lull in time for recording has kept me from it. I'm also kind of scared of the 'low gain' label that ribbon mics get. My main pres are Presonus digimax on which the maximum gain listed is the minimum recomended for the SB mics. electric guitars are no problem b...

It hasn't left my stereo since it came out and without my precious TOMB I haven't been able to gush about it with like minded geeks. He will be playing in Chicago again later this month so I want to get myself phyched up for this show. Let's dish all things Bird. #1: Do you think the vocals were tra...

so this forum is for critical listenning, huh? well half the new Gelb record "Arizona Amp and Alternator" sounds to me like it was recorded in a bathroom... in a good way! John Parish apparently peiced it all together(i'm guessing this is the record he was refferring to back in T.O.35) and the whole...

I've owned a digimax96k for over a year now and am quite a happy customer, but my view might be slightly skewed(i don't recall the features of the LT version). I do appreciate the extra headroom of the 96k and the eq 'enhance' feature actually does tailor the pres for OH micing, as advertised, and q...
