Wilco - 2004 A Ghost Is Born Tour Compilation

I remember first hearing this record. My bro in law, sister and a friend were headed to Hayward, WI for a weeding weekend (sick f*cking time) and my brother in law had a copy of this and about every Ryan Adams record to date (this was 2004). I was into music then, but not like I am now so I hadn't jumped all over that release. Well, after hearing Tweedy break into a fit of rage after the lyrics of delicately titled "At Least That's What You Said" I was sold. Enjoy!

This is 53 tracks long, too many to type out tonight guys. Just f*cking download it!

Update...

Hey guys. So I'm a liar. Didn't get one thing up for everyone this week. I apologize, it's been crazy. I have like 15 shows just waiting to get posted, next week I'll do 2 a day. Fair? Good. Have a good weekend guys.

Suggested weekend listening:

Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Chicago 2007
Alberta Cross - Broken Side of Time
MMJ - Bunbury Theater - 1999

Some stuff...

Hey guys. Just have some random things that are flyin' through my brain, think I might do some updates like this here and there.

I am sure you are all WELL aware of situation in Haiti, text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate $10. It will get tacked onto your phone bill. If you need some persuasion, please look here.

Hmmmm....been listening to lots and lots of Iron & Wine lately. Our Endless Numbered Days, The Shepherds Dog and, of course, the recording from the solo acoustic set I saw a while back. Sam Beam is a unique cat. His guitar playing is a real pleasure to listen to and I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge he has one of the best voices in the game. Check out the music player on the right for some Iron and Wine tunes and this stuff right here:





The Raconteurs set that I posted the other day has been lighting my ears up. After a couple hours of Iron and Wine some Jack White and Co. destroying songs like the Sonny Bono penned (and Cher performed) classic Bang, Bang, Level and Intimate Secretary is just what I need.

Local favorites Model Stranger have really had my attention lately. Their EP, A Boy and His Crown, is good, I really enjoy it. Live though, they really kick it up a notch (multiple notches are kicked actually) and the songs get Mark McGwire'd with this power that's quite remarkable. I'll hopefully have some live stuff for you all soon but in the meantime I've been watching this video on the reg:


Take a peek at their EP, it's streaming off the the right. If you have the chance, go check these guys out. Chicagoan's, I am looking at you in particular. There manager told me that if you mention this blog post at one of their shows he will fellate you on the spot. KIDDING, of course. But I have been talking with these guys a bit and they seem to be brewin' up a pretty fine batch of new tunes for their upcoming album. The demos I've heard show a band in transition; growing, maturing and honing their craft. The taste I was given has me wanting more, I am so so so excited about their next album.

Model Stranger goes on tour starting April 4th. They'll be cruisin' out to Colorado and back and will end the tour with their CD release part at The Cubby Bear in Chicago (Wrigleyville) on April 24th.

I'll have some cool stuff for you guys next week, have a great weekend.

The Raconteurs - Live at the Manchester Apollo 2006-10-15

I've been Jack White crazy since seeing the very cool guitar doc It Might Get Loud. It features Mr. White, Jimmy Page and "The Edge" (I'm not a U2 fan or a fan of anyone that refers to themselves as "The Edge" but his parts were alright). What really got me though was a clip of Jack White raging a solo on the tune "Blue Veins" from The Raconteurs debut album Broken Boy Soldiers. Jack is bleeding all over his guitar (they later show the blood smeared guitar) while he relentlessly hits note after note, each one a darker blue than the last. Anyways, please enjoy and check out that doc when you get a chance.

Jambase.com - Most Important Shows of the Decade...

Our boys grabbed a spot.

My Morning Jacket | 12/31/06
The Fillmore | San Francisco, CA

There have been many epic My Morning Jacket shows over the past decade - their "coming-of-age" afternoon set in the rain of Bonnaroo 2004; their marathon late night set there four years later; the hometown party in Louisville at Waterfront Park in August 2008; and the huge NYE gig a few months later at Madison Square Garden. Any of these concerts could have made our list, but it was MMJ's New Year's Eve 2006 run at The Fillmore that takes the cake. The band was experiencing huge growth, both musically and in terms of ticket sales and would soon be dubbed "America's best live band" by Rolling Stone, LA Weekly and many JamBase writers to name a few. This show put them on one of the most famous stages in the world on the biggest night of them all and they killed it.

The three-night extravaganza culminated in a sprawling NYE celebration that included an ambitious theatrical element inspired by the old video game The Oregon Trail. The mood was built upon a "Donner Party meets Little House On The Prairie" theme with the band dressed as settlers and native Americans, and the spirits came to life with a number of well executed skits that eventually found bassist Two-Tone Tommy coming back from the dead and killing his bandmates in retribution for eating him earlier in the show (food was scarce on the trail). And that was just the backdrop for a night of extremely well played classic Jacket tracks mixed with rare nuggets and a slew of covers including AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," Kool & The Gang's "Celebration," Lionel Richie's "All Night Long," Wham's "Careless Whisper" and Prince's "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man." The show was an instant classic. But like most of the bands that really stick with us, a Jacket concert is more than just a rock show. It's big, heady stuff and has the ability to open us up and help us feel and connect. It's an experience, and on NYE 2006 My Morning Jacket seized the moment and created something special. What The Fillmore run announced was a world class band with ambitions beyond just performing their songs well. (Kayceman)
