happy halloween everyone! just got finished taking mac out trick or treating, and now we sit in an empty house. movers came today, so we will be sleeping on the floor this evening. the moving guys were super cool and will delivering our shit on sunday instead of monday. the thought of having to spend multiple nights without furniture and sleeping on hardwood floors didnt sound all that appealing. so kudos to these chaps…

i dont have any awesome halloween mix to post, but i do have something probably as creepy. admittedly, this is a repost but me thinks it fits the nights mood. i should mention that these are the demos to mr waits’ the black rider.

1. the black rider

2. november

3. the right bullets

4. the briar and the rose

5. george schmid

6. chase the clouds away

7. flash pan hunter

8. instrumental

9. t’aint no sin

10. in the morning

11. gospel train

12. i’ll shoot the moon

While I was at Bill Janovitz last night watching Tom Perrotta rock “Powderfinger” on the guitar (dude can type. dude can rock), I was missing this: Wilco on The Colbert Report.

“Wilco is on the show tonight,” Colbert introduced earlier. “Their real fans will listen to the interview on vinyl.”

THE INTERVIEW

NEW SONG, “WILCO”

“Let me try to match your energy…. I think my endochrine system just stopped producing hormones.”

one of the greatest songs ever…

well, this is it folks. the last post from the comfy confides of my douglasville, ga abode. while it hasn’t been my ideal place of residence, it has served its purpose for 4 years. interestingly enough, i will kind of miss it’s serene yet boring setting. thanks bro! we shall see all of you on the other side….

came across the forest city lovers the other day, and so far i am really diggin em. they are out of toronto and kind of remind me of lois maffeo crossed with rebecca gates’ spinanes. me thinks you will dig em. their new record, haunting moon sinking, is out now on out of this spark records.

sup, sup? ummm, so i started “training” today. i dont know if you would consider it training if you already know how to do the task that you are supposed to be trained on. while i understand that it’s merely a formality, it still doesnt make it any less pointless.

btw, i have no heat in my house right now, and tonight is supposed to dip to about 33 degrees. btw, part two, the firewood sold at your local publix, jewel, kroger, dominicks, etc are worthless. i tried to make a bad ass fire, well as bad ass as a fire can be expected to be, tonight and that didnt work out so swell. shit, i even bought those firestarters to get the shit goin, but alas not much is going on. let me point out why i dont have heat. i dont need gas pretty much 9 months out of the year, cause everything in my house is electric including the stove. so, instead of paying the service fee every month during the months i dont need gas, i just disconnect the service. now, since i knew i was moving i just didnt feel like turning it back on. thus, the ass freezing temps that we are about to face…

here is part one of a killer bruce and the e street band show from the atl that took place on 12.2.02. its a soundboard, just so ya know. part two will be up tomorrow. fyi, this version of “mary’s place” is particularly awesome.

1. the rising

2. lonesome day

3. the ties that bind

4. night

5. empty sky

6. you’re missing

7. waitin on a sunny day

8. no surrender

9. worlds apart

10. badlands

11. she’s the one

12. mary’s place
