 |   My fourth blog. Amazing yet disconcerting. Don't worry; this'll go away in a year or so. |
** Image ID #2009874 Unavailable ** When did I turn into such an indecisive prick? It's 10 to midnight, last night of the "Resurrection Jukebox"  , and I'm deviating again from my originally intended choice for this slot. Why why why?? I'll tell you why:  I've got a fever... So much for The Low Anthem's cover of Wilco's "A Shot In The Arm"...I don't listen to The Low Anthem anyway, and once I really looked at the setlist for that ridiculous 2013 Wilco concert of 27 cover songs , I didn't really have a choice. A change clearly needed to be made. But instead of pussin' out and using the one-minute clip that's available on YouTube from that crazy gig, I found an older one...so that's what I'm using, with good reason. I saw Wilco on this 2005 concert tour...they played on the front lawn of Buffalo's Albright Knox Art Gallery . They showed up with My Morning Jacket and lord I don't remember who else, but a guy I used to work with went on early in the afternoon with the local band he was playing in, which was really cool. I couldn't get into MMJ that night. I didn't see what the big deal about them was, but I was unimpressed. Plus, it was pretty hot out, and I think by that point the crazy ex-girlfriend and I had drank up all the beer money we brought in, and I wasn't walking back to the car to get more just because she couldn't wear clothes with pockets. I do believe, however, had they busted out "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, I may have purchased their entire catalog the next time I felt like blowing a paycheck at Record Theatre (and don't tell me you haven't done that at least once in an indie record shop). So Happy Halloween (  again )...here's Wilco and My Morning Jacket doing up Blue Oyster Cult."Seasons don't fear the reaper... nor do the wind, the sun or the rain. We can be like they are." Lyrics. So, we know that Wilco fired Jay Bennett because he was kinda an asshole (documented nicely in the movie I Am Trying To Break Your Heart ), and he later died I think from an OD. I dunno about anyone dying from My Morning Jacket, and I'm not interested. And Blue Oyster Cult? It's too late and I'm too lazy, but I sure someone's gotta be dead there, right? The original song is, like, just as old as me, so the band members have to be in their 60's or 70's by now, and with the amount of drugs one must use to write a song called "Seven Screaming Dizbusters" (seriously, I know it's way past my bedtime and all, but there's no way I could make that up), surely someone had to have caught the liver or pancreatic cancer or somethin' by now. |
