so i wake up at my usual 5.30 a.m. to get to work at my designated 7 a.m. when i walk through the door my boss stops and is like “hey man, can you do me a favor and come in at 11 pm tonight? i tried to call you but didnt have your number.” ok, so you tried to call a number you didnt have? makes sense. i, oddly enough, wasnt that annoyed until i got home and realized that there was no way i was going to get much sleep. i took a 2 hour nap and i am guessing thats all i am getting. this is not going to be fun. the reason for the overnight hours is that we are building an entirely new network at ft. mcpherson, here in georgia, we have to then migrate all 3000+ users to said network and then scrub all their data. its a pretty big undertaking and they have definitely underestimated the amount of hurdles and road blocks we were going to face with such a huge network.
i’ll be honest with you people, wilco’s sky blue sky is pretty damn great. as i had stated earlier, i wasnt to keen on it my first couple of listens. mostly due to the fact that i was not prepared for such a record from my beloved wilco. its an early/mid 70’s am radio driving thru the middle of nowhere kinda record.? so being on the wilco kick that i am on, here they are performing on 11.15.04 live from the filmore.? this is part one of a two part collection.
1. i am trying to break your heart
2. hummingbird
6. at least thats what you said
7. via chicago
9. jesus, etc?
10. war on war
11. theologians
13. poor places
14. reservations
15. late greats
16. im a wheel
btw, i know that the chosen wilco photo doesnt correspond to this particular era’s wilco, i just like the photo.
in other news, i cant stress enough the coolness of last.fm’s personal radio station feature - which i think you only get if you donate.? one thing i love about it is that it brings up a lot of older stuff that i have not listened to in a while.? for only 3 bucks a month it brings me hours and hours of pleasure.
