Red Mosquito

these guys fucking killed it last night

highlights were You Satellite, Art of Almost, acoustic Misunderstood, and acoustic Shot in the Arm.

I lit up a joint as soon as the Star Wars portion of the set was over and the one usher that I was worried about immediately made a bee line towards us. By the time he got to us my friend was holding it and I was yelling at him to hide it. The dude was just "PUT OUT THAT CIGARETTE RIGHT NOW!" and my friend was like "ok no worries" and the usher walked away and we finished smoking it.

Saw em this week too dude. Great show. Had to do the incognito, one hitter hand cup.

yeah, i'm pretty good at smoking a joint cupped in my hand

i have friends that aren't as skilled

Went saw Jeff Tweedy again last night at one of his living room shows. Of interest was his comment that the band's new album is finished and coming out in the fall (supposedly with an announcement on the anniversary of the Star Wars release (whenever that was)). I don't know if he was messing around, but he said the album is called "Wilco Schmilco," and the album cover has cartoon panels of a girl whose headset wire came out, and some guy who holds it and makes it work, getting electrocuted in the process.

Take it for what it's worth.

Listening to Sky Blue Sky now, the songs are solid but the production still sounds super terrible. It's basically an album of demos of fully formed songs utilising a four track at best.

Such a bummer.

I get what they were trying to do and they achieved that. I just think it sounds dull sonically and really out of step with the rest of their body of work.

The vocal capture is particularly disappointing.

I really like Sky Blue Sky besides the opening track. I remember at the time that it was a pretty surprising departure considering A Ghost is Born and the tour that followed it.
